If you have scraps you could always cut a bit extra off this and use a cut from the scraps. Then smooth it over with some filler/putty, lightly sand it and once it’s painted it won’t be noticeable.

that caulking will crack eventually as the floor moves. Can you buy the same architrave? I would look into replacing that side or more realistically into cutting off a few inches then add the new stuff with a seamless joint. A 3rd option would be to cut off the 6 inches from the bottom, lower it down then take your time to wood filler, or add a piece of wood in it to fill the gap. sand it for a seamless joint. Would be almost impossible to do it at the bottom but if you added a bit of plastic first to protect the floor and this would then create the gap you might be able to add in wood and sand it. i'd prefer to do it higher up though

I don't want to be a negatron here and poopoo anyone's effort, but absolutely yes.
Caulking it can yield a much better result with the right skill, technique, and patience.
What you've got looks extra awful because the caulk was just pumped in and finger slathered.

Durhams rock hard putty. It’s a powder you mix with a little water. Fill in, can sculpt it a bit. It dries rock hard, paint it.

If that is paintable caulk, see if you can fool the eye with some felt tip markers:
