Sebastian, what is the batchcode on your bottle? My theory is that Francis reformulated the fragrance 2 or 3 times. I found Baccarat to be very overwhelming in 2016-2017. Bought a bottle in 2018 (batchcode starting with 18) and it was subdued, no projection (people couldnt smell it) and I'd go noseblind after 40 minutes. I bought a bottle 1 year later (batchcode 19) and it is projecting a lot, my nose doesnt go blind (can smell it 12 hours) and it is a bit more sweet and the saffrone subdued (less medicinal).
When my husband first smelled it, it immediately said "it smells like cat piss" and would not purchase it for me, and got me MFK Feminin Pluriel instead. I bought it for myself, and now he is in love and we both have our own bottle. Fragrance is tricky sometimes !! LOL
Baccarat rouge is such a weird fragrance but it's so good. I love how it can seemingly disappear on my skin and come back an hour later. I also didn't like it at first
Its kinda scary how it does that. Masterpiece honestly
@@SPACEDOUT19 not scary, all " molecule " based frags behaves just like that, Molecule01 is a perfect example
I needed this. I’ve been looking for reasons to justify purchasing this fragrance 😩. I hated the initial spray but that dry down hours later is beautiful 😍
I hope you already bought it. This is amazing...
I totally agree that dry down is very pleasant.
For some reason this was love at first sniff for me, especially the Extrait! It’s my biggest compliment getter 😍
This fragrance was LOVE at first sniff for me, I layer it with everything as well as wearing it alone. Obsessed with this one!
du bist mir so symphatisch danke für die coolen videos !
Love your review. Yes, i have had that same experience with, Creed Green Irish Tweed and Aqua Di Geo Profumo...Love them both now. 👍
Guilty of hating it initially too. It’s a beautiful, unique scent. Doesn’t get me too excited but I appreciate it for what it is. Thank you Sebastian.
Exactly!! This is what I wanted to see! Great to see you put out a video on this topic. Perfumes that surprised you.
I love this masterpiece and have from the beginning Ive never understood the bad press on this one thanks for your review & approach to this scent BIG fan of the house - Ive got 9 from them AMBERGRIS really grabs me JIM from MIAMI BEACH
I have been saying this for 2 years, this is one of the best releases of the last 4/5 years. At first it would numb my nose too but after hours and hours I would get sniffs and it’s magical. Lots of compliments too. I love it so much that I bought the big bottle like you and the extrait and that one is also magical!!!
Hi Sebastian Thanks yes I think we’ve all experienced this before it’s just weird and great how are tastes expand over time. Whenever I think I don’t like a certain frag group or note some creative perfumer changes my mind and I luv it!
Great video Seb! You flipped the script here and gave us something to truly REFLECT ON💭😉💭! “Reminds me of a manufacturing plant, a production plant with overgrown Jasmine”😲🤣😲……. Never thought I’d hear that one brother...... When I watched the video and as I listened, I was thinking, “have I ever had this experience……”?!?! Still thinking, and I’ve gotta revisit my collection to see what I may have had a similar experience with.... Thank you Sir! Thank you for giving us content yet again to make us.....🤔! We need more or that in today’s world, believe me! ☮️&💛……, Ciao Seb!👋👋👋
Hello, great respect for your work and knowledge! As a recent fragrance lover with not much experience, I have tried Baccarat Rouge 540 on a test strip and I was like " What!! I smell only alcohol with a hint of sugar." Next day I have tried it on the skin and same again. And I was like " Crazy youtubers and their nose" 😁 And few hours later a hint of Ambergris, and I was like "what. I am hallucinating" and the smell was with me the next day and I am now in love. 😁
I love Baccarat Rouge 540. I keep on looking for a scent that makes me feel the way this one make me feel but I haven't had any luck. I'm so in love with this fragrance...I wish I could find something similar.
Man I was waiting for this review!
I hated Guerlin Lhomme Ideal EDP last year, now I love it.
Thank you
I fell head over heels at first sniff. I adore it. Great video Sebastian!
I had exactly the same experience. First of all i didn't understand the hype at all, it had a cotton candy smell on me, but now i started to appreciate it.
I really love your reviews Sebastian! if you were a fragrance, you'd be both calming and uplifting. Appreciate the knowledge you share. I sampled 540 this afternoon: sexy!
Glad you came aboard. Lol. Definitely a beast. I had this experience with D&G Light Blue. Lol
You and me both. Finally got a decant of BR540 and neither my wife nor I like it at all. After the incredible hype I expected something more, more interesting, more pleasant. It just fell flat. But for years I didn't like Tauer LDDM and last year I tried it again and maybe it was nose maturity but I totally fell in love with it and had to have a bottle. So will follow your lead and give BR a few more tries over time to see if anything changes. Have Zoologist Civet and animalics were notes that I couldn't stand at one time. Now I can't get enough of them. Same with dirty musks. It's amazing how our tastes change isn't it!
Just got samples directly from MFK and I’ve just tried both of them.
I can barely smell the EDP- getting a faint sweet mint toothpaste 1/2” from my arm but almost imperceptible.
The Extrait is clearly stronger with similar notes. Dries to a skin scent in 10 minutes- a stronger slightly sweet mint toothpaste but no Almond, no Ambergris.
I have 2 ml samples so maybe it will grow on me.
I have a bottle of Grand Soir and it’s a champion that wafts glorious Amber to my nose all day long- amazing!
Hi Sebastian, it wasn't love at first sniff for me either. I bought it based on its reviews and hype and I guess I was expecting something super complex, but later on I fell in love with BR 540 when I realized how much happiness it brings to me everytime I wear it. Indeed, it's undoubtedly a beast mode. Its projection and sillage is out of this world.
I may need to try it again because I didn't like it when I tried it, and I still don't like it so much when I smell it on others. I love Grand Soir though! Thanks for the review.
Interesting.... you just described my experience with this fragrance
I had that experience with TF Orchid Soleil. Hated it, but now I love it.
Had a sample of this and enjoyed it. I like the EDP better than the extrait. Both are nice. Enjoyed the review ✌🏻
Thank you for such an awesome review! I have the same story with that fragrance. I hated it in the beginning and all I could smell was hospital. Now as I spray it on myself, all that I can smell are juicy sweet berries:) what a BEAST!!!!!! So true😁
Baccarat Rouge is on my top 3 favorite fragrances Ever!
What are the other 2 ?
Corrado Pisani br 539 and br 541
My nose plays tricks on me as well . I didn’t like this one @ first either & it happened one day when I wore another 13 by accident from a sample & Now I do love both after years of rejection . I find it really fascinating when that happens . Great review !
This is a LOVELY fragrance. The ambergris and Iris powder are top quality.
I had this experience with lots of fragrances some of which are Jicky and L’heure Bleue by Guerlain which was such a long journey, also quite relevant Grand Soir, I thought it was another cheap sweet smelling fragrance but then I was hooked.
Moral of that, we have to be patient with everything we try and trying them on different circumstances until we make our mind.
I smelt and loved a clone of BR540 before experiencing the original and the clone had been spot on. My experience with a hate to like for a fragrance is CK Obsession Night for men. I couldn't stand it when I bought it a couple of years ago but now I find it quite smooth
Loved this from first experience. Don't get a lot of feedback, some mild compliments, but I wear it because it appeals to me. Gotta admit though, I am not wearing it much lately. It is linear and I am now craving fragrances with some depth. Great video, Sebastion! Hope you survive LA!
This is interesting one. Not sure I love it but I do appreciate it.
My experience with hate to love is with Islay scotch. When I was much younger I could not stand heavily "peated" scotch. Needless to say now, half of my liquor collection is Islay scotch. Correlation: over the years things changes and now, we can appreciate some things we just couldn't wrap our heads around years ago. My 2 pennies.... Excellent review as always.
Same experience with BR540. Got a decant & could not understand the hype. Last fall, caught a whiff on a scarf I wore days earlier and that was it. I was a goner. Mugler Angel is another one. Loathed it for years. Now I freaking love it. Thank you so much for your reviews. When you post, makes my day! ❤️
Hi!
Love this fragrance, I'm definitly planning on buying it!
I had a same "hate then love" experience with Philosykos from Diptyque
Great video S! People change!
Baccarat Rouge 540 is, without doubt, a Masterpiece!! My comment comes 2 years after You published this video, however, I did not know this fragrance before.
Terre d'hermes was that fragrance for me,I hated it at first but a year and a half later I smelled it and was head over heels lol that was back in 2013.. great video Sebastian
I've experienced this one exactly like you. Pure magic
This happened to me with Renier Kisses Rain. Lola Scents said it comforting and she loved it and the notes were intriguing. I got it and couldn’t return it back to a foreign country. I tried it again a year later and I was oh! Now I get it! Thanks Sabastian.
This gives me hope. I despise it atm and am already thinking about giving it away. Don’t know what the rave’s all about. Love the way you describe it; challenging which it actually is. Hopefully it’ll grow on me too.
I just bought this and I’m still trying to figure it out. I think I like it but not sure I’m into the hype as of yet but I’m holding out lots of hope. Thank you for this video.
I adore this fragrance. I was given a sample to try, without being told what it was. Every time I wore it, I loved the scent, and I was stopped constantly by strangers asking what I was wearing and that It was amazing. It was a little weird having to explain that I had no idea what I had on. I was then gifted my own little bottle. It's so beautiful and smells amazing on my skin.
Yess, I also hated BCR540 and now am in love with the Extrait. Also the same happened to me with Kilian GGBE and Dior Hypnotic Poison EDP
Love at first sniff for me. . . ❤❤❤ hoping to afford a bottle at some point in my life.
I'll also say that I love Cloud ☁️ and yes it is very remini'scent' of BR540 👌👌👌👌👌
wow!!! great review and story Sebastian!!!
I don't own BC540, but it's a clear winner for me too! Exceptional scent!
One similar case I've got - I've always thought Dior Homme Parfum is nothing more than a flanker of Dior Homme Intense 2011 and I always passed it away. What a mistake!!!!! I've asked myself the same thing - what happened to me? Why I don't have it????
I'm sure many of us have the same story....
Baccarat Rouge 540 is amazing scent and it could be a niche legend.
This is a fragrance I bought a 5ml sample of months ago..Just didn’t think spring-summer was appropriate for 540.. I received a sample from a seller as a Thank you..It was I who should thank him.. I sprayed this magnificent juice and instantly was in love..This in my opinion is my favorite
Looking forward for cooler weather to wear it..Love at first try. Thank you
For me, BR540 still smells like sweet cotton candy wrapped up in latex 😅
But I had that experience with Tom Ford Black Orchid EDP and, most recently, Guerlain Encens Mythique (I'm absolutely in love with that fragrance! True masterpiece 😍)
Great review, as always!
This is the best description I’ve ever read please start to review too
It was love at first sniff for me! I got a sample of Another 13 yesterday and I did notice similarities. I really did not like TF Soleil Blanc for the longest time and now it’s one I’ve been wearing a lot this summer.
Great video, Sebastian! And in fact I totally get what you mean with not loving a frag at first and then, one day, falling in love (or at least big like) for it. This happened to me with MFK's GRAND SOIR (which is now one of my top 10 if not top 5 frags EVER). It took me 3-4 wears to fall deeply in love with it and to appreciate and really get its magic. The second time I had this change of heart experience was with Boadicea The Victorious' REGAL. I considered it one of my blind buy fails for weeks, until I rediscovered it some days ago and thought to myself: Hello, there, I actually like ya.
I agree with you I’m like that sometimes,I was like that with Tom Ford ombré leather but now I love it,love the reviews 👍🏻❤️👍🏻
I wore it and it became marvelous, the very drydown to me became special, I wore it during a long heavy workday, and I experienced it all the way through,, finally voila, I've got this delicate white musky floral at the very end.. Unvelievable.
I Had a similar experience with Spicebomb when it first came out. Now it’s one of my favourites
This was love at first sniff for me. If my collection journey was ever to come to an end, it would probably be with this fragrance.
I have the extrait de parfum version and im loving it even my hubby loves it on me, it's my signature scent actually and i can wear it all year round
I can't believe it! The same thing happened to me with Baccarat Rouge! I found I needed to spray the oil and the fragrance to be able to smell it. It lasts on clothing beyond washing. I'd go to grab my shirt that I wore when I sampled Baccarat and I'd get a whiff. That's when I fell in love. So I don't own it yet but I'll buy it when the stores open again, providing I stay healthy. Stay safe!
Absolutely true .. it’s kinda grower scent which is still a pass for me ... but lovers really loves it... it happened for me with amouage jubilation
Yes when I first started getting into fragrances I really dislike Terre de Hermes and artisan pure. Now love them.
Great review
My friend wears the extrait version and I loved it on her but on my skin the extrait version was too sweet and heavy on the almond note but the EDP version has just as awesome longevity and Sillage but in my opinion more on the masculine side and less sweet. Side note if you’re on the fence about buying this and are judging by a test strip or smelling it on your wrist don’t trust that it’s not the initial spray it’s the magic that happens after you spray it as time goes on lol
Great video on this.. I’m starting to like it more. I too am still trying to find the love of this. And why so many rave over it. Also, I was told by a sales person that the ambergris is synthetic. Would you know if this is true or untrue.?
Thanks
I was exactly the same I couldn’t smell anything very slight sweet smell but nothing since then I’ve had some testers and the reaction of people was great also I’ve smelled it on other people and was very impressed and now it’s the next scent on my list 👍
Yes it happened to me too…I even requested to return it. I gave it another try before returning it….I’m keeping it now…I so understand
It happened to me with Amouage Epic. I hated it for a couple of days, but I kept wearing it, then after about two weeks, I started to love it, now the smell still stuck in my mind after a year of finishing that bottle.
I instantly fell in love with this ❤️
Same for me! I love A.13 and that’s why I love BR 540 for me it’s a stronger version of A.13.
Love this stuff!!
I ordered a sample today because i have been seeing it over and over on the internet, so, i gotta try it first😊😊😊.
I had the same experience with this fragrance and gradually I started to smell it on my friend and bought a full bottle later yet I am still a bit anosmic with the fragrance .
I love it! I tried this on at Neiman Marcus yesterday at about 5:30pm. Got home, took a shower that night, put lotion on this morning, washed my hands many times today, and I can STILL smell it on my hand where I sampled it. That alone makes me want to go ahead and take that leap of faith and purchase it lol.
My most beloved fragrance.. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm going to give it a try with a decant. I'll post up after. Seems like an attractively weird one to take in.
I never hated this fragrance (BR540) but it has never been my favorite. I like it more now than I used to like it but definitely not a love for me. I also don't get great longevity of it. I get maybe five hours. I do have it in travel form as it came in both my MFK masculine travel collection and feminine travel collection and I do wear it from time to time but no where near a love for me. I used to hate animalic fragrances but within the past year I really really started loving animalics especially super animalic ones. My favorite is Papillon Artisan Perfumes 'Salome' but I am really liking some of the fragrances from Marlou. I think Poudrextase may be my next fragrance :)
I absolutely love the extrait version. When I first put my nose on it there was something sweet and seductive about it, but I felt that I couldn't possibly wear something that sweet smelling. It was definitely unisex, but I wasn't and my pride was getting in the way. I usually wear stuff like an aromatic pungent woodsy and citrusy notes (like Aventus) on my body, and as my guilty pleasure I wear BR450Ex under my hat. From the outside I have a masculine exterior, but when you get close and intimate I have a sweet candy interior.
Can you tell me which one is better?
The EDP or the Extrait?
Tobacco Vanille.
I've had a sample of it for probably 3 or 4 years. Would go back to it and smell it every now and then, but just didn't like it or get the hype.
When I finally WORE IT this winter (for the 1st time) I really enjoyed it. Felt rich and classy. Fitting for the holiday season.
I don't like Baccarat Rouge. Maybe I'll come around to it by 2030 lol.
Had the same situation with Blue d channel when came out. I was like .... never. Love it now 😁
Im in love in this...
This actually happened to me with Aventus. When I bought my very first niche it was Creed's Virgin Island Water and I got a sample of Aventus. This was 2014 and I I couldn't stand Aventus. It took me 3 to 4 years to fall head over heels for it when I revisited that sample and just had to have a bottle. With baccarat rouge 540 edp it was love at first sniff. Also for a sample not knowing a single thing about it and went crazy for it. Still love it.
Happened to me with A*Men. You never forget your first. Tuscan Leather was the second.
I've come to absolutely love MFK Baccarat 540 rouge extrait compared to the edp.
Yes, I had the hate toward Dior Fahrenheit at first and for a year or so. A friend gave me a used bottle because she had thrown out her bf, but wanted me to have what she said was the best fragrance ever. This was around 1999, and I thought it smelled like something that shouldn't ever be in a human nose. After a year or so, I kept going back to smelling it and realized that it might be the best fragrance I had ever smelled.
Hi, we have the same experience..... BR540 is interestingly weird... It took me 1 year to love & appreciate this fragrance... Now I really love it that I bought both 200ml EDP & 70ml Extrait. No other fragrance has done this kind of weird experience to me other than BR540. I think it's a masterpiece, trying it short term doesn't do justice, you have to let your nose learn.
How long did it take you to learn and appreciate it fully ?
I love this frag. and my number 1 picked from the house of MFK, I have the extrait concentration and stays on my jacket for weeks. I also love the grand soir and Satin Oud. I blind bought a Creed Royal Mayfair last year and the first time I tried that fragrance I hated it too much because of the opening, and I put it at the back of my collection and I forgot about it. . A year later, I tried it again and I was blown away how beautiful the fragrance developed , IMHO Royal Mayfair is the most beautiful floral scent I'd ever smell . Actually I ranked Royal Mayfair above Aventus.
I need to try this one again because I didn’t like it on my first sniff either. Maybe the sample was old? At some point I’ll give it another sniff. For me, I hated Shalimar the first time I smelled it and now I really like and appreciate it.
BR540 was not a love at first sniff for me. I actually thought it had a weird scent and I didn’t like it. Several months went by and i tried my sample again. It smelled amazing and it’s been my most complimented fragrance over the past year. The Extrait version smells even better IMO. The added bitter almond note really sets it apart from the EDP. I now own a bottle of both versions.
I'm in the same boat as you Sebastian; just bought a decant - initial vibes are ho hum. It's a nicely blended fragrance - there's an aroma chemical in here that reminds me of a lot of Designers, it may be the hedonine . This causes the silage to be quite reminiscent of others; up close I get a lot of vanillin, but high quality like PdM Herod. The florals sit behind this rounding it out, but so far all I really get from this is a big blast of birch tar / vanilla / resinous spiciness / back up florals. For me I think it's the backup florals that are elevating this scent at all - but beyond that kinda of formulaic.
Maybe like you, it will grow on me over time, but for now I'm glad I only bought a decant - MFK's Oud Extrait is something more interesting - pure vanilla, saffron, and ambrette.
This is by far my favorite fragrance. It’s just classy and intoxicating. The one fragrance I hated at 1st Initio Oud for Greatness, but now I love it.
Oud for greatness is my favorite perfume ! I just ordered BR 540 and I hope is not redundant... do you find the Mfk more feminine? Thanks
Maybe not as extreme as you, but similar. I love Oud Satin Mood, but BR540 never really did it for me. 6 months later, I tried the sample I have again, and really love it. It smells the same as I remember, objectively, but this time I really like it.
I don't hate Molecule 04, but (similar to your initial experience) I can't smell it. I can smell Molecule 01 just fine and love it. I'm hoping eventually my nose will begin to pick it up. I've mixed Molecule 01 and 04 together as you did in a previous video and I agree with you that it produced a nice aroma.
Damn, that's pricy, but sounds lovely. I did have a similar experience with Charenton Macerations's Christopher Street. The problem was that I was testing it out in late fall / early winter. I was getting a nail polish remover vibe that I didn't like, which I think that was artist intention. But damn, now that it's summer I see what a brilliant scent this is. I even get a rush sniffing the bottle. Agh, it's so nice. Signature summer scent all the way.
I was actually going through this dilemma the last few days with baccarat rouge 540 i hated it last year but now for sime reason i am hooked on it
I had to learn to like and then love this one. On paper it smells sweet, but on me it smells very different but good different. Except when it smells medicinal. 😀
YES! This is happening to me right now. I’m in the “it smells like Raid bug spray” phase.
But the notes listed never helped me figure out why. Then today I looked at the notes mentioned on Lucky Scent’s description of it! Voila! It lists Moroccan rosemary and
Sicilian mandarin in the notes! That sounds like that orange oil-grease remover and hand cleaner that mechanics use, the only thing that works to get mechanical grease off hands! Those are notes that are used in that industrial product, but that doesn’t have to mean that perfume is only that. That strong association did ruin it for me at first though!
Fragrance Notes from Lucky Scent:
Moroccan rosemary,
Sicilian mandarin,
Jamaican Amyris,
Florentine Iris,
Brazilian Tonka bean absolute, modern woods
We had this conversation once Sebastian and you did say u wasn't feeling it at the time but i then mentioned the extract version with almonds and you said and i quote " I DO LIKE ALMONDS"...so now try the Extract version
I’m just smelling it in 2021. I loved it instantly but it’s so light. It would be awesome if it was much stronger but still kept that sensual mellow scent
Oui j’ai eu la même expérience avec Bois d’Argent de Dior. On est un peu déstabilisé quand cela arrive ☺️.
