Right off the bat, they’re straight up telling you it’s inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540. Which, let’s be real, is *fancy*. And expensive. So, Dossier is basically saying, “Hey, want that vibe, but, you know, without selling a kidney?” Smart move, Dossier. Smart move.
Now, the description… “Highly intoxicating scent of saffron, this fragrance isn’t afraid to turn up the heat.” Okay, okay, I’m listening. Saffron can be a tricky note, though. It can be super amazing, like, warm and spicy and sophisticated, or it can go totally sideways and smell like, I dunno, band-aids or something. So, a bit risky, but potentially worth it.
And then the notes – saffron and orange blossom up top, then cedar and jasmine in the middle? That sounds… complicated. Like, how do those all play together? I’m picturing a warm, slightly sweet opening, with the cedar giving it some grounding. I *hope* the jasmine doesn’t get too overpowering. Jasmine can be a beast.
They say it’s “Oriental.” I always find that term a little… vague? It’s supposed to mean warm, spicy, maybe a little sweet, but honestly, it doesn’t tell you a whole heck of a lot. “Ambery and woody,” the description says, “warm, intense, and mysterious.” Okay, I can dig that. Mysterious is good. Makes you sound interesting, right?
It just launched in 2024, so it’s brand spanking new. Which, I dunno, could be good or bad. Maybe they’re still working out the kinks? Or maybe it’s the next big thing? That’s the fun of trying new perfumes, though, isn’t it? You never really know.
Honestly, the whole “three bottles for a limited time” thing is probably a marketing gimmick to get people to buy it without thinking too much, but… it’s kinda working on me. Like, if it’s good, you’re stocked up, right? If it’s bad, well, you can always give them away. It’s like, a perfume gamble.
