Rosewood Amor

I would like to start with saying that this is something that will be very dependent on your body chemistry as to how it wears so DONT blind buy unless you can do returns. On me, I got mostly oak moss and saffron. It was a soft, clean skin scent. The longevity was moderate, but if you want an inoffensive smell that isn’t sweet this may be good to try. I’d say solidly unisex though. It lasts well with lotion and turns almost cinnamon scented on me with a couple hours. Very nice overall and not a bank breaker ($20 at Burlington). EDIT: This is MUCH better in warm weather which I forgot to mention. In cold weather it really doesn’t smell like much, but in warmer weather it smells lovely and goes a bit floral. The saffron also Heath around much longer the warmer it is. Also, I’ve smelled MFK Baccarat 540 and this is nearly an exact dupe for it on me. You have to reapply as it’s not as strong, but basically the same scent.

Cloud doesn’t even come close to being a dupe for baccarat rouge after I smelled this! (I’m exaggerating but you know what I mean) This is pretty much an exact dupe for BR540 like exact. The performance isn’t as good and I’m okay with that because if I paid $300 for BR540 and this performed better I would be fighting someone. Now with that said the performance isn’t bad, I caught whiffs of throughout the entire day and could still smell it at the end of the night. The sillage isn’t anything crazy no ones gonna be able to smell you from across the room but you’ll still get noticed wearing this. Keep an eye out at your local discounters like Tj maxx and Marshall’s you can find it for around $20 there instead of paying $50 on fragrancex or fragrancenet.

I LOVE this one. Bought the 100ml for $16 at TJ's without reading any reviews or notes. I've had good luck with Banana Republic fragrances in the past so I figured what the heck. I sprayed it this morning and instantly loved it, but could not figure out what it reminded me of. About an hour into wearing it, it clicked---definitely BR540. Moreso than Cloud does, for sure. And as I love BR540 quite a bit, this is a big love for me as well. If you're looking for a cheaper dupe and don't find Cloud to scratch that itch (which it doesn't for me--I love Cloud, but don't find it a dupe for BR540), I say hunt this one down, you won't be disappointed. This is even better than some actual dupe oils I've tested, tbh. Plus, the bottle is pretty. :)

This is nice and BR540ish but I like Cloud better for its fluff. Actually this one has a fruity, crisp, sweet aspect of the “type” that I appreciate with a mild side of band-aids sometimes that I don’t mind. I never get band aids from Cloud though. I think these are different enough to keep both? The opening notes of this are really beautiful! Has that airy sugar vibe. Like the raspberries on the top of a crème brûlée floating mysteriously in the air. I wish I didn’t go nose blind to this. It’s very good.

Very medicinal. I love that clean Dr office smell. I love saffron which is why I bought this but I actually don't get any of the notes listed 😅 I still consider this a blind buy win because its no good even though its nothing like its described. Very Dentist office, gauze, nitrile gloves, scented. Sterile but wonderful?
