The Review
MFK Baccarat Rouge 540
Worth it, or just famous?
The most recognisable fragrance of the last ten years. Here is what it actually smells like on skin.
First Impression
Placeholder impression for Melanie to replace.
The Opening
Saffron and something almost burnt-sugar sharp.
30 Minutes In
It sweetens and flattens into that famous amber-jasmine glow.
The Dry Down
A resinous, woody sweetness that survives a shower.
What Does It Smell Like?
Burnt sugar, warm cedar and jasmine, seen through glass.
Who Is This For?
People who want to be remembered. Not for tight spaces.
The Verdict
SAMPLE FIRST
♡ Mel
Have you tried it?

YSL Libre L'Eau Nue
Bright citrus melts into creamy florals and a soft skin-like warmth. Feminine, confident and ridiculously easy to wear.
