What does La Rouge Baroque / Baroque Rouge 540 smell like?

The top pairs Jasminum grandiflorum with saffron, so a floral opening carries a spicy warmth. In the heart, bitter almond and cedarwood lead: the almond pulls the scent towards a sweet, gourmand direction while the cedar adds a woody spine. The base holds woody notes, ambergris and musk. Fruity and oriental tones back up the sweetness, while resinous and leathery accords give it a warmer, denser feel. A synthetic edge is noticeable too. Maison Alhambra Baroque Rouge Extrait and La Rive Elegant Woman have a close profile.
