The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 16 December 2021 5 Comments

From Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge 540 in a spiffy holiday bottle (alas, with a price to match). "Each bottle requires eight hours of work to craft and is delicately hand-engraved in a Parisian workshop before being numbered, with only 300 in rotation. The legendary scent has established itself as one of the most iconic and influential creations of modern perfumery, composed of a distinctive wood accord exalted with enticing notes of fire, saffron, bitter almond and sensual animalic ambergris." 200 ml Extrait de Parfum, £830 at Harrods.

    An “enticing note of fire,” hmm? I’ve managed to resist sampling this so far, but bitter almond is tempting…

      It’s a very popular scent, that’s for sure.

      I too have managed to not smell this, but I am a sucker forced bottles, and since I will not be spending money on the bottle, it makes me want to smell the juice even more.

        For Red Bottles. Why does it do things like that?
