Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau De Parfum Spray, 2.3 Fl Oz

I NEVER write reviews but I thought because of the mixed reviews I would share my thoughts . It started because I just wanted to know what all the hype was about really.What does it smell like ? So I tried it and I can’t even explain it but it’s very calming and would be nice for man or women as odd as that sounds . I bought the tiny spray sample just to see if it is legit. It smells sooo good and lasts all day long. My husband was like wow you smell great. I had to tell him I bought the $18 sample because I didn’t want to pay $ 100- $350 for 2 oz of perfume and not even know what it smelled like. After he smelled it he was like wow . You should get a bottle of that. It’s very nice it’s not flowery - or vanilla or musk - it’s just really nice. I don’t know how else to describe it . It smells expensive and luxurious- I’m Not either of those things but I’m going to pretend I am when I wear this . Try the tiny sample for yourself - I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

I bought this sample for my wife to use it at a wedding and she received so many compliments because it smells so good. I loved it at first spray as well. The only thing is, when you buy a bottle is $100 per Ounce basically. But I think its well worth it.

Edited: the cap of the perfume makes the sprayer go off every time you put the top on- loosing half the scent. It essential leaks after you close the top. Awful bottle The smell is just to die for - not to overwhelming, not too subtle. This is coming from someone who gets migraines from scents. Doesn't irritate skin and stays on you and your clothes throughout the day. The bottle size is great for testing a new perfume before spending $$$. I will say I am very disappointed at one thing - there appeared to be about 1/3 of the scent gone before I even used it. The sprayer is ineffective so I believe that is where the scent leaks from. Definitely NOT worth the $45 you pay for such a tiny bottle. I expect it to be full and working.

I am normally allergic to every scent, so, I have spent years trying to find something compatible with my unfortunate body. I sprayed barely a half spray of this and waited. It smells very similar to Her, by Burberry. It is deeper though, and I don't know how to properly describe perfumes, but I find most offensive and this was not offensive at all in a small amount. I have minimal reaction to this scent. The tiny amount I sprayed on a wrist, transferred to a sweater, that has since been washed twice and I can still smell a slight trace. It is nice. Such a tiny amount and its still giving. I am going to try and describe the scent as best I can with minimal knowledge but the ability to smell incredibly well... It is not a full body floral, it smells like nothing you pass in a hall or grocery store, it does not have that weird sickeningly sweety smell that a lot of perfumes start giving off. It does not smell cheap like 99% of scents do (Yes, even the ones bought from 'high end' ie 'Dillards' (which is not high end, btw). The scent is bold, slightly sweet and almost has a hint of fruit, it is woodsy, but not in the way you'd think, it is more delicate. If you spray too much, you are going to lose this and it will change the scent, let the perfume barely spritz out on your skin. Less is so much more. Remember, perfume should be a soft whisper, never a shout.

I was wrong initially. Once it sets in it smells incredible!

Picture of bottle of fragrance is deceiving! Scent is amazing but way too small for $ 30 something dollars for such small amount l.

Nice to have a small amount to wear and test it weight the huge price commitment of a full size bottle

Something is off. I've owned 3 bottles of mfk rouge 530 (1 being the exait version). This one is missing some top notes and the scent is weak otherwise its perfect. The duration seems shorter than normal as well but again a more faint subtle lingering scent that I need to search for. At first i thought i was nose blinde so I wore a different high end cologne I own and I could smell that with 1 squirt for hours unlike the 6 or so for this For the price I expect perfection out of the 6.8 oz bottle. Just makes you wonder if it was diluted or something...
