Verdicts
Be Delicious
A floral fresh gourmand fragrance built around apple, grapefruit, berries, peony, lily. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Baccarat Rouge 540
Saffron opens sharp and slightly medicinal, then almost immediately dissolves into a warm, luminous blur of jasmine and amberwood — the signature move that made this famous. The heart is less floral than it sounds; the jasmine reads more as a sweetened airiness than a recognizable bloom. Dry-down is where it lives: cedar and fir resin ground a soft, skin-close amber that radiates rather than announces itself, with sillage that lingers in a room long after you've left — Fall and winter wearing, for anyone who wants to smell expensive without being loud about it.
