This one is interesting. It is more of a humble fragrance for its notes compared to its peers. It is almost like teasing you, so you have to reach closer to smell again, which is a positive thing for the bodily behaviour. Definitely not screaming and annoying. It is rather dark and shy but definitely carries a body. Very mature and later yields itself to leather on some skins (didn't on mine, but my friend's), for me it was saffron. I was looking for a more DEMURE scent compared to the naughty ones I have. I was wearing Oud Maracuja before I purchased this one, and in the cinema I felt a bit embarrassed as I thought I might've given people around me a difficult time. Of course, this is not on the same lane, but I still think this one is sexier and appeals to a wider audience. Not texturally glittering in the long run, but dark and complex in its story. Modest and relatively more serious and mature.

I got this from a store in Covent Garden after trying 1000 oud perfumes and this was the one. It feels like that moment at a rave when you are surrounded by hundreds of people and you lock in to that one person and the entire world melts away and it’s just you two, so aptly named. Or maybe it's the name that is making me feel like that. Chicken or egg?! It’s sooo sexy I can’t. I’ve tried them all and I’d say this is their most unisex scent. The oud is not overbearing and balances v well with the other scent notes. I'm also loving saffron at the moment and this is just perfect.

This is a fabulous fragrance. For me personally, the first 30 minutes are very heavy on the pepper notes, but the dry down is just absolutely immaculate and everything blends well. It’s perfectly unisex and not overbearing, which I appreciate. This fragrance has a beautiful, well-crafted leather spicy smell and I definitely will be wearing it a lot this year!

Honestly, this smells better the LONGER you wear it. I actually bought it for my husband and I just can't get enough. Its so peppery and leathery, it smells like someone who has seen the world a little, worked hard but made something beautiful. Also, you really don't need a lot of it so the value for the price... this bottle will last him 6 months I am sure!

The name is perfect to me. This scent is like heat lightning, crackly, sharp, sweetly acidic like a blue raspberry sour candy. It is very much the sensation of someone intentionally trapping you with their gaze, and you like it.

It's like Glossier You's sexier, older sibling. Very similar but has a lot more dimension, a touch of masculinity, and lingering spiciness that makes it more sensual. Considering a full bottle...

But it really does smell like BR50 though... albeit much more grounded by the oud which was my gripe with the original. A nice interpretation in my opinion.

A little something like being blindfolded and bound in a leather harness while someone is torching creme brulee in the next room

Hate when people say things are a doupe to BR540.... But this genuinely smells like if Eilish No. 2 and BR540 had a baby

A classic scent, something more worn and mature. It’s nothing very special but it’s good :) Long peppery hold and sweet leather.

Baccarat with a light leather note. Ignore the women below saying this doesnt smell like Baccarat (they can barely even remember their own name)

begging yall to stop adding “smells like baccarat rouge 540” to any perfume with saffron in it
