## Top reviews
- ★5/5 — Summer, Fall — Casual — "good"
- ★5/5 — Fall, Winter — Casual, Office — "It probably needs no introduction, some people love it, others not so much. It’s modern and strongly saffron-forward, with a touch of sweetness, a generous dose of amber and woods, and an impressively long trail. Very long-lasting with excellent projection."
- ★5/5 — Spring, Summer — Date, Special — "Although very much hyped up, it is for a reason. A unique smell behind the fact that it’s become a must buy in the fragrance world. But when released it was very much something that deserved this following. Sweetness done to perfction. A Warm Carmel scent that can be worn all year round, definitely would dress it up!"
- ★5/5 — Spring, Summer — Casual, Office — "I will never not love this.

A delicate woody floral supporting a blast of warm amber, salty ambergris, with metallic notes coming from saffron and Iso E Super.

It's sweet, warm, salty, and metallic.

I want this in my collection forever."
- ★5/5 — Spring, Fall — "It's a great scent, but in 2024, there are at least two dupes (Le Bonbon & Ambery Saffron) that are 99% the same so I wouldn't pay full price for the bottle.  I love my small travel spray but I won't go further than that."
- ★5/5 — Spring, Summer — "If you wanna smell rich and fabulous - this is it"
- ★4/5 — Spring, Summer — Casual, Office — "good"
- ★4/5 — Spring, Fall — Date, Special — "It does smell very good, but the downside is the price and I've smelt this fragrance on a ton of people, so not a unique smell."
- ★3/5 — Spring, Summer — "Baccarat Rouge has become one of the most famous fragrances of all time, but I’m struggling to decide whether I understand why or not. It certainly encapsulates what was driving the market in the 2010s - clean, inoffensive scents which are above all, minimalist and unisex. This, to the mass market, is basically a license to print money, but for enthusiasts it seems to come across as boring and uni…"
- ★3/5 — Spring, Summer — Casual, Date — "You can smell it (or its’ dupes) everywhere, in every bigger city. It’s sweet, intoxicating and airy. I wear it very rarely, it’s not interesting enough to me."
