A confession: BR540

I want to be a fragrance snob. I want to have my favourite fragrance so niche and rare. From an obscure house. Difficult to pronounce and containing unicorn horn extract.

From following this sub for a while I’ve figured out admitting Baccarat Rouge 540 is your favourite fragrance is akin to playing Wonderwall in a guitar shop but I can’t live my life in the closet anymore. BR540 (specifically; extrait) is the best damn thing I’ve ever smelt.

I own a healthy (or perhaps unhealthy) amount of fragrances but BR is the one I keep coming back to. Sometimes I just wander into the bathroom and sniff the atomiser. Nothing compares to it for me. The burnt sugar fairy floss with saffron and almond just does it for me.

I want to be in the in crowd and rag on it but I can’t.
