Manege Rouge

I LOVE this one! It's very soft, and a less in your face clone of BR540. It's like BR540, but without that harsh medicinal opening that people either love or hate. I personally don't care for that nauseating medicinal type scent, I only own BR540 because curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to see what all the hype was about. The dry down is very similar, if not almost identical. No, this may not last as long as BR540, and I know I'm going to get some heat for saying this, but I actually prefer Manege Rouge over BR540. It's just a soft, pleasantly sweet smell that is indescribable but at the same time delectable. Somewhat sugary cotton candy, but not cloying in any way. I tend to reach for this more than BR540 because I hate having to wait for the dry down and that dental office scent to finally dissipate before I can actually enjoy it. With this one, I can just spray it and love it right away. Sorry BR540 lovers (but also not sorry lol)

I have the bottle of 75 milliliters of this perfume. It lasts about 10 hours, with a high intensity. When I saw this news announced and read your notes, I had great desires to have it, I made great expectations and I was not disappointed. It is an explosion of aroma, beautiful aroma combined between the sweetness of cotton candy, oriental touches of saffron and magic, yes magic because this aroma has aromas that are pure magic. When I wear it I feel feminine, I feel sensual, I feel beautiful .... Certainly when you bought it I was hoping that this perfume had a certain resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 450, and it is super similar, you know, this perfume is maginifco, super similar to Baccarat, with a lot of quality of intensity and duration, does not disappoint.

I'll need to try it again as the first thing in the morning I smell. Determined after today that that is the only way I can smell her/cloud/cheirosa 68. Currently I get vegetables and bitter but not as bad as the br540 I get. Hope this will result in being a good blind buy bc I love the notes mentioned. Edit: sniffed in the morning. I get a couple seconds of sweetness, then green vegetables (still) which isn't bad by all means, there's kind of a woodiness to this that isn't in br540/ag cloud. It's not bad by all means but I'd like more sweetness. Pleased with the purchase but it's def not dupe worthy. More like just similar. Also I think the green vegetables smell is prob the oakmoss which apparently I really like

Tried this last night at the Al Haramain store and was initially unimpressed. Manège Rouge has a soft opening that might make an impatient fragrance explorer hurriedly label MR as a watered down copy of the masterpiece. Some 30 minutes later it begins to settle down and starts to become more noticeable in strength and familiarity. The drydown is where it all comes together. I haven't tried any other BR clones and I think this one will be a top contender (especially considering the price).

This scent is my baby. I bought it to use regularly while I save what’s left of my BR540. Now I find myself wanting to save this, too. This smells like actively cooking some gourmet version of sugar and red berries. It’s stronger and longer-lasting on my skin and clothes than BR540. As sweet as this is, it doesn’t smell cheap or too young.
