    Red apple with a hint of Ambroxan. If you love Baccarat Rouge 540, you’ll definitely like this one. It has great projection and longevity, plus it’s way cheaper than the original.

    The red bottle is gorgeous, like a sophisticated diamond. It’s not just the packaging that’s divine, but the scent too. Experts compare it to the famous Baccarat Rouge 540; it’s not a copy, but Mauboussin is a warm, cozy fragrance that invites passion. On my skin, I detect juicy apple with peach, peony, and rose. The drydown is very woody, and luckily, I don’t get that cloying praline sweetness. I don’t like sweet, sugary perfumes, and this isn’t one. Longevity and projection are excellent. I wear it in winter, but I’d also use it in spring, summer, or fall. Edit today, July 6, 2024: I now own Baccarat Rouge 540 and can confirm it does resemble it, especially in the drydown.

    I bought it blind because I was recommended La Folie Rosé, and since this was cheap, I grabbed it. What does it remind me of? To my nose, it’s very similar to the red apple in Nina Ricci and Nina Rouge… I also bought those blind before. How do they differ? This one loses the freshness of Nina; it’s very sweet, whereas the other is more wearable. I’d define it in three notes: at first, I smell sweet red apple, then fresh new roses with a hint of caramel. In the drydown, there are roses, apples, and red fruits like strawberries, all very sweet. It’s a sweet red scent, nothing citrusy. It’s not unbearable, but it’s definitely more of a winter fragrance. It’s nothing groundbreaking, not a difficult perfume, and I don’t detect strong woody notes or anything anyone who likes strawberry scents wouldn’t wear. Longevity? I’m not sure yet; I’ll come back to edit once I use it more.

    It would be like the ODP of Nina Ricci Rouge, but sweeter, more intense, and with more sillage; they’re heading down the same path.
