What do reviewers say about Instant Crush and Baccarat Rouge 540?
Built for people who've already decided. Not tentative, not polite. The saffron makes a statement in the opening; the vanilla earns its keep in the drydown.Instant Crush
This fragrance generates polarized reactions. The saffron note is polarizing on its own, but the ambergris and ambroxan combination creates a warm, almost hyperreal quality that some find synthetic.Baccarat Rouge 540
