But what a delightful surprise! 😍 I absolutely love this perfume.
If the BR540 really smells similar, it would be one of my worst disappointments. It says it’s for women, but my boyfriend and I agree it smells much more masculine; the moss note is super prominent throughout the trail. I don’t recommend it because I really dislike it. My boyfriend says it’s similar to a Paco Rabanne fragrance, just with a much heavier sillage, and that’s what I can highlight: an incredibly strong and long-lasting trail.
If the B540 clone smells exactly as described, it would be my worst disappointment. Although marketed for women, my boyfriend and I agree it smells much more masculine; the moss note is super prominent throughout the trail. I don’t recommend it because I really dislike it. My boyfriend says it’s similar to a Paco Rabanne fragrance, just with a much heavier sillage. The only thing I can highlight is that it has an incredibly strong and long-lasting trail.
Great softness and a price that doesn’t hurt. It has that Baccarat DNA but more caramelized, almost smelling like whipped cream. It doesn’t project much and lasts about 4 hours on skin, but for the price, there’s no place to lose.
I tried it in-store and it was delicious. It’s not a beast mode and doesn’t leave a huge trail, but if you’re looking for something sweet and different, you’ll love it. It starts with perfumed burnt sugar and ends with amber giving it a special touch. On skin, it lasts about 6 hours when worn well (tested in heat), with a light trail of about 30-40 minutes, but for the price, it’s excellent. I’m not sure if it smells exactly like the BR540 since I haven’t tried it, but it does remind me of Red Temptation without that medicinal saffron and moss note that I hate, so if you’re like me, you’ll love it. It’s a day-to-day scent that doesn’t bother anyone and could be your signature, even though it’s quite popular as a BR540 clone. I’ll definitely buy it again.
