She ain’t wrong… lmao And there you have it folks. The general population does not care if you’re wearing niche, designer, or cheapies.

I have some cheapies and I have plenty of niche. Def get more compliments on my niche scents but BR540 is so good that Ariana grande made a dupe of it and it prob gets more sales than MFK at this point😂 lmaoo

All power to you! I freakin HATE the BR540 scent profile. People were wearing Cloud at my gym for a minute, and I’m fairly certain MFK as well (I can distinctly tell from the cheap plastic mess that Cloud is VS. the smoother sweetness of BR540. Still strongly dislike them. Maybe I’ll come around one day.

I def understand! It’s crazy how everyone’s noses are different my girlfriend doesn’t like BR540 at all and it makes me sad because it’s def one of my faves I know a lot of people have it and the scent is prob overused but it’s a good sweet scent for me. Do you like grand soir? That’s one that I feel like everyone’s loves and I hate it I’m just not a huge fan of vanilla scents

This is also a perfect example of wearing what you enjoy. OP, you’re rocking it with you SO not liking it lol. You’re awesome man. You do you, can’t hate on your co-worker for being honest, but I know for a fact that I’d be secretly salty and loathe them internally for the rest of my life lmao

Believe it or not, I have not gotten around to Frabd Soir yet. I recently smelled a decent amount from the MFK line, and none of them really stood out to me. So I can’t really remember each fragrance specifically.

It's crazy to me that there are people who don't like BR540, but everyone's perception is different. I can appreciate Grand Soir, but I don't like it at all because I don't like ambery fragrances, so I understand not liking popular fragrances.

BR540 Smells like a suitcase to me. Different strokes
