Loved all the info, as I am obsessed w/BR540! The closest dupes IMO are Al Harr- Amber Oud Rouge,& Frederica Mahora-PureRoyal 910.. nothing compares to the OG’s tho! I just got the Ana Abiyedh-Rouge, & it’s a spot on dupe- but it’s a bit sharp,& masculine leaning, compared to the airy,& unisex original.

I thought if BR is even better it’s got to be the best scent in the world! So I got the fragrance oil and I ordered samples from the MFK website. Unfortunately I cannot smell it! It smells kind of dirty and disappears on me instantly. I kind of smell the sweetness at first so that’s where I’m assuming the cloud comparison comes in. It bums me out sooo bad I can’t smell it!

I own Cloud and Amber Oud Rouge as well as Aurora from Julianna's Perfumes. I really enjoy mixing Cloud and Amber Oud Rogue. But Julianna's Perfumes dupe for BR540 is terrible. It has a minty quality to it that is not anywhere in BR540. Really disappointed in that one but I would say it is 75% the same. To me, that's not enough to be a true dupe but when I would get whiffs of it in the air, it smelled very similar. Smelling my wrist was where I got the main difference.

Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge SKIP IT ...I have an old bottle which was an EXACT CLONE from top to base 95 % or better ...then now it is REFORMULATED no burnt sugar saffron but mostly alcohol and a wiff of jasmine very very disappointing..Gyrfalcon is overpriced for what it is ..it 22 dollars overseas ..here it is 70 and is not even on par with AG Cloud which begrudgingly is the best in my opinion

Wow, you must have had a bad fake. Amber Oud Rouge definitely has the burnt sugar smell. Also, Gyrfalcon was only $21 for me. I don’t know where you bought yours.
