It's like the Pineapple and ambroxan combo that's in Aventus, once you smell it, and you smell another fragrance that has that same accord in it, you immediately assume Aventus.

Thank you very much for the review. Your description is so precise, therefore I need to know your opinion. Although Baccarat is listed as unisex, I still have doubt wether these perfumes (Baccarat EDP and Extrait de perfum) are suitable for men? Do you really think men can wear these perfumes? Can you comment this, please?

Its ambroxan. Interview with Francis Kurkdjian: Q: Tell me about Baccarat Rouge 540. A: It’s an amazing fragrance, I think. We’ll see, but I think it’s one of my masterpieces. Q: Why? A: The way it smells. How people respond to it. The formula. The overdose of everything. And it’s only synthetic molecules. I put in orange and tagetes and a few naturals right at the very end, but otherwise it’s synthetic. There’s a synthetic oakmoss, veltol and Ambroxan and hedione. It’s a Jean Carles formulation. You start with two ingredients. You balance them. Then you add a third one. You balance the whole.

When I first smelled Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP I couldn't smell anithing, just alcohol. And I was like, why do people go crazy over this. And then I tried it few more tiimes in the store and suddenly I have detected a slight ambergris with some sugar sweetnes. And it had lingered on my clothes for days. Now it is one of my favorite fragrances.

Fantastic review and comparison. I took my time with samples of both the EDP and Extrait and decided to go with the EDP. It seems to evolve better and offer a peek-a-boo effect that I really love. The EDP has more of what I have seen people describe as the latex accord… and I like it. It’s sterile and offers a freshness that is needed with such a sweet fragrance. The Extrait version is much more straightforward, creamy and VERY sweet. They both are are absolutely amazing, though.

I realise I am commenting many years after your review but I found your review very late. I love this review. Absolutely love it especially your analysis of ambroxan and the transparency of the lighter. I have worn this for years and I have become increasingly obsessed and now it is the only thing I want to wear. It’s sad for all my other carefully edited fragrances, I don’t want to wear anything else. I get comments constantly everywhere I go. I have both versions, the candle and body milk, I’m totally dedicated and will wear it forever. I cannot get enough of it, it is like a drug! I am saving up to buy backups to the extrait in the largest size so I never run out, In Australia it is $1000 a pop. I don’t even want to try other fragrances I have enough especially of my other favourite which is syrupy Turkish delight rose. I absolutely agree with your ideas on likenesses - especially that it borders on gourmand. I love many of those but not like I love Baccarat. Your review was exceptional. Thank you.

I really enjoy both versions but the edp for me is my favourite just due to its technical aspects, managing to be light and airy, and still have incredible performance is amazing to me. It was one I also had to grow to love , it connected to a scent memory I eventually found and then it clicked for me.

When I tried the baccarat extrait tester on my skin it immediately reminded me of oud for greatness, but both fragrances are unique enough to own both imho. Ofg to me the way the sweet and woody notes combine is amazing. Also ofg’s beastly performance whist baccarat is a bit more subtle(but still very powerful). Baccarat is sweeter to me like cotton candy and the amyris(or ambroxin)pinches my nose. It doesn’t project quite as well as ofg but the performance is still amazing just in a more subtle way. Ofg is a bit more in your face. Both are 10’s for me, but if I had to pic one it would be baccarat extrait. That’s my take.

I know this is an older video, but I'd like to add two more. Tribeca by Bond No.9, and Cheirosa '68 by Sol de Janeiro. The first smells very much like BR, but mind, because there is a weird and almost magical journey to this perfume. You will smell BR in the beginning of testing, but after a while that disappears and something completely difference appears. It's very unique and I don't feel they were aiming to get that BR vibe. The second one is for everyone out there who doesn't have that kind of money or who are not crazy about the BR, but would still like to venture into that territory without many financial risks. It's the cheapest version of BR540, and it smells so alike. Being a body mist you can't expect it to have a decent performance, but it will give you the BR experience. Imho, there are no perfumes that can match the BR. There is only one BR540, even if I'm not crazy about it (yet).

I hated sauvage. In love with the extrait. It might be the longest lasting frangrance in my collection. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It is nice to listen to someone who is serious and not mocking the business. I have bad anxiety and frangrances help with it. Very weird but it helps so much. Not sure why, so Iam exploring every frangrance and building a great collection.

Well guys, I finally got a decant of Baccarat rouge yesterday. And I am very glad I did not blind buy that thing. At the center of it, is a “ stinky”, one of these “ thiol-based” materials used at “micro” concentrations. Having dealt with these before, I can tell you that this juice cost less than $5 per bottle to manufacture. Not worth the hundreds they charge. That’s not a skin scent, and after a couple of hours only the “ stinky” note( or whatever you wanna call it) is left to haunt our nose. Not worth the hype at all imho. Save your money

It is so sad not to be able to experience the scent people are describing and saying about this perfume. Everyone says longevity and sillage is fantastic but I can hardly smell it. Even after just spraying it on my wrist and sniff it, I get maybe 10% of the scent. People say its the ambroxan molecule being too big for some people's nose receptors and that is probably what is happening in my situation. Regardless, I will still wear it and have everyone enjoy it for me.

I bought a dupe from fragrance spell and I love it somehow airy, fresh and slightly sweet without being gourmand....now I must buy the real thing...side note I loathe the Burberry her and the Cloud both are way too sweet

Same thing happened to me. At first I wasn't too fond of Baccarat Rouge 540 but the more I smelled it, the more I liked it. It took me about a year of testing it to appreciate the unusual fragrance. Now I love it. The same thing for Angel by Thierry Mugler. I detested that fragrance for years and actually thought it was one of the worst smelling eau de parfum. Now that I older, I adore it. I can't get enough of it. I only like the eau de parfum and not any of the body creams or body washes. I even bought the candle and not like it. I get a lot of compliments when I wear Angel so it must smell good on me. I have a friend who wears this exclusively but she would never tell me what she wore. She smelled fabulous and one time (after about 3 glasses of wine), she told me that her signature scent was Angel. I said "WHAT???" I could not believe it. I bought myself a bottle and now I love it. I'm older now and appreciate richer fragrances that I didn't when was younger. No florals for me (almost anyway).

I finally got a bottle of BR540 last month whilst working from home during lockdown. Also blind bought Absolue Pour le Soir last week and I’m so glad I did, it’s amazing.

First time I wore BR540 my girlfriend immediately said it smelled like her Ariana Grande Cloud perfume, which turned me off to it big time. I didn't wear it for months, and in the meantime I tried out Oud for Greatness which I immediately fell in love with. While wearing Oud for Greatness I couldn't see any similarities with BR540, but when I eventually tried BR540 again I realized I was wrong and that the similar saffron note was very prevalent. Still, to me Oud for Greatness brings so much else to the table with its spices and woods that I don't feel it is a copy in any meaningful way. Now I just need MFK to get their BR540 Extrait samples back in stock so I can give it a try too.

A Love at First Sniff. Well put . I have to love something instantly when I smell the perfume. Like you, I didn’t love ❤️ the Baccarat Rouge at first. In Fact I was disappointed 😔. BUT each time I used it this past winter ❄️ I did like it . Still not Love 💕 but I am impressed by it. It does linger on clothes and in the air without overpowering.

Fan of Baccarat Rouge 💯% I don't try baby's of Baccarat Rouge but from your descriptions I get some ideas and might get Instant Crush, Terenzi, Pantheon Roma and others, thank you Sebastian

I've also fallen in love with frags I didn't like at first sniff. I've had even more frags that I love at first sniff then got tired of them after wearing them3 or 4 times in different weather and times of day. Silver Mountain Water for example I initially loved. Then when I took it on a short vacation I started picking up on the metal and inky aspects of the scent and they drove me crazy. Same with Mancera Instant Crush.

If you want to have a more subtle 540 experience e.g. because of your colleagues spray the Extrait _once_ on your body a day or to _before_ going to work.

I love Baccarat Rouge Extrait because it last longer, I have cloud, Burberry her, Instant Crush and just bought Sunset Riot by All Saints and imo Sunset riot is the closest lolll omg😀. So a lady in my fragrance group just posted ARISTOCRAT by AJMAL and she said that it is a dupe of baccarat rouge as well😜 Ohhh we are saturated with BR dupes wowww

I liked it when I smelled it in the bottle. But once actually sprayed, it smells like a dentists office and rubber gloves. There’s a very distinct scent that reminds me of sitting in the dentist chair with the rubber gloves in my mouth. I really wanted to love this scent

For 2-3 years I have been sniffing this in store but couldn’t bring myself to buy it; I like it, but it’s not love. Instead, I bought this fragrance as a body oil as it was much cheaper in price but it smells so sweet and candyfloss like it has become a bit headache inducing. I might look into the stronger extrait but will probably skip it now it is so popular.
