      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

    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!!!

    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. 😁

  • @litespeed65
    @litespeed65 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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!

  • @mousarzuhair
    @mousarzuhair 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

  • @Kalima1231
    @Kalima1231 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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!

    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 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

    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.

    @theodoreforrest8116 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    @5Heliotrope 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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 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 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 :)

  • @joshin436
    @joshin436 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I went to the MFK counter section, the SA showed me Satin Mood which I love to death, sweet and warm then he sprayed Bacarat on me, he said that it's a Strange soft scent and different than anything right now and I did not think anything. Once I was in the movie theater half an hour later I kept smelling my right wrist, it was the Bacarat, the dry down is very amazing soft and warm, I'm looking forward to the Extrait version next.

    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.

  • @burningStereo
    @burningStereo 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    Yes when I first started getting into fragrances I really dislike Terre de Hermes and artisan pure. Now love them.

    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 👍

    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

    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

    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.

    Happened to me with A*Men. You never forget your first. Tuscan Leather was the second.

    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.

  • @ddgladiva
    @ddgladiva 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I still don't get this fragrance. Every time I'm in Neiman's I spray this on me and I still can't fall in love with it. My nose just smells old school bandaids and burnt sugar crystals. Maybe it's just my body chemistry🤷🏽‍♀️

    When I first smelled this I thought it smelled like the dentists. Didn’t like it at all. Kept using the 20ml that I had and by the end of it I thought it was okay. Got myself some Ariana grande cloud and it was grew on me. Now I have br540 extrait and I LOVE IT. most frags don’t last on my skin but this one performs exceptionally well

    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.

  • @lenoramorris5375
    @lenoramorris5375 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @jayvo6514
    @jayvo6514 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    • @dinamiena6186
      @dinamiena6186 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

  • @Mrfpsara
    @Mrfpsara 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I just had the same experience, used to hate br540 with passion, it was my most hated scent that I could sniff anywhere, now suddenly I just saw the light and I am in love...weird!

  • @Heather_isms
    @Heather_isms 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I went to Neiman Marcus to specifically try 540 Extrait of this. She sprayed liberally, so much that my jackets sleeve got damp when I put my arm down. I adored it, at first, when I got home an hour later, I was nauseated with a headache. Jasmine in perfume is either magical or hideous on me-not sure when or if it will happen. NM in StL does not offer samples w/o purchase, unfortunately. Haven't been enthused to try it after that experience.

  • @IAmCharliemouse
    @IAmCharliemouse 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @bettesfragrancereviews1994

    Sebastian, I have just posted a first impression video on this fragrance. While I felt instant appreciation and respect for Baccarat Rouge 540, I also found it really unsettling. The metallic accord in it disturbed me and conjured up memories of not-so-pleasant moments.
    However, I really hope I fall in love with it, and that I’ll be able to associate it with good memories. 😊

  • @david-Davidson
    @david-Davidson 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @DD-ln9qz
    @DD-ln9qz 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I bought the red bottle as soon as it came to the NM by me. I loved it. Live at first sniff. Can’t wear it much even tho I love it because 70% of people in nj try to at least spray it in store and smell like it. Waiting for the hype to go down

  • @mmkline1989
    @mmkline1989 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @Tyronieus
    @Tyronieus 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    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

    I bought the sample and it was love at first sniff! I had to buy the 6.8 too. I sprayed it on before going to bed and made my husband hug me so he could smell it too! Lol 😂

    literally watching this video as I'm going through the 180 turn on this scent-so ironic. I was at nordstrom the other day and this fragrance caught my nose. The floor was totally empty, no one in sight-after a few mins a lady associate appeared from the back and confirmed she was wearing it. The scent was just hanging around in the air like magic. about to order some edp and extrait decants to give this a proper revisit, I can't stop thinking about it haha.

  • @xcharles4376
    @xcharles4376 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @snowhite1qazse4

    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.
