  • #hot_take

I was hoping to start a conversation on what you guys think is an overrated fragrance and why??

I’ll start: Baccarat Rouge 540

    Completely agree

    Mind Games Blockade - I remember all the hype it got and I even convinced myself that I liked it for a while when I got my bottle, but I was kidding myself and I remember when the truth finally hit me- the fragrance isn't good.

      Not a bad take!!

      Replying to @litzyxcastaneda

      Just my opinion! And definitely not as popular as the all famous Baccarat.

  3. Meg@oh.no.but.why

    Not new territory here, but Lattafa’s Eclair. It’s just fine — not worth the hype it has.

  4. Frank Intense@frankintense

    Agreed, but it can layer well it seems.

    I admittedly love BR540, but it feels like the hype is due to 1. The edible caramel-adjacent sugar perfume craze 2. The fact that they flex with the 539 tests b4 landing on #540, and 3. Kurkdjian's name/ experience. Obviously an objectively expertly-crafted frag, but so many folx think it's medicinal, hospital-y or band aid-y so it *actually* still "fails" in the way all the other perfumes do to many noses out there🥲

      HOT TAKE: I honestly think perfumes, fine wine, etc. are often overrated and therefore often overpriced
