Franck Olivier Pure Addiction

Sweets in a hospital

Be advised that while the bottle is a work of art and it fits the scent, the scent itself is not so glorious. It smells like warm burnt caramel mixed with a cold cleaning chemical, or ether. Actually, the chemical aspect reminds me of a treatment room in a hospital, the same as in Parfums de Marly Haltane. The two scents are very similar, if I remember Haltane correctly. They both smell like sweets in a treatment room.

Apparently Pure Addiction is a clone of Baccarat Rouge 540. I’m not familiar with it, but multiple people said it smelled like hospital and someone described it as “a hospital meets a bandaid factory but mixed with a candy store”, so it checks out.
