Barakkat Rouge 540

“Nope! nope! nope!!! Kept getting this suggested in my profile, I guess due to my preference for woody notes. Well, any woodiness rapidly depletes / dies away! You’ve been warned! At first , I thought this chemical weirdness could dry down/ dissipate, but the only thing that emerged in the end… was burned plastic chemicals that waft through the air, in excess and in every direction. Conjures up nasty images of a seedy bar lounge in a sad part of an inner city. Industrial, rubber, plastic, burnt, rancid. That’s all that’s left behind, and a Migraine!!! Absolutely Horrible.”

“I have edp version of it that is not in the database here. It smells like br540 but without the nauseating dentist smell in there. It lasts for good 6 hours.I dare to say it's even better than br540. Not so loud, not having you in a choke hold for a whole day, not nauseating. Perfection.”

“probs one of my favourites in my collection. i like it because it’s not as popular as the EDP and it got me a compliment on the first day i wore it. i get about 8-10 hours on my skin and wayyy longer on clothes. it smells more grown up compared to the EDP (hope i’m making sense) & it seems to be getting better with time cause it was really harsh when i first got it. overall 8/10, no complaints so far.”
