Oro Rosso

#1046 in my "Tour de Fragrance" Not much to say about this. So similar to BR540 and 540 Extrait. Take your pick. But this is $100 on Jomashop, so saves you a bunch of cash, has identical quality, and doesn't have the synthetic undertones of the Maison Alhambra and Fragrance World clones. So if you can afford $100, I'd go for this over the $20 variety dupes out there. Beyond that, everything that applies to BR540 applies here. Women always think this is masculine, men think it's feminine. Certainly not business wear or even casual wear for men IMO. Way more feminine than unisex. All day longevity, strong initial sillage, no tight spaces, more of a date scent for the ladies.

Nose Note #1029 Oh yeah, this is closer to BR540 than Instant Crush, but still different. The cotton candy is a little burnt and the iconic medicinal safron note is a bit different. Still a great dupe. The greatest is yet to be outrun - Armaf Untold. This is actually quite similar to Untold! BR540 is, I think, made to be a little on the feminine side, and this hits home. I still love wearing it though! Leaning feminine. Satisfying performance. OK price, could be a bit cheaper. 8.6/10

Very nice masculine fragrance, has a classic vibe to it. Although it opens as a classic barbershop type of scent, it doesn’t have that screechy, synthethic note, that many modern perfumes have. It’s soft, smooth, masculine and woody, yet I can smell the florals, herbs and citrusses. The drydown is similar to BR 540, and Oro Rosso has good perfomance. 1-2 sprays creates a 1-2m scent bubble that lasts for hours. Oro Rosso smells like it’s made from quality ingredients and doesn’t cause a headache. The ingredients are well blended, as everything mixes together nicely. The scent isn’t unique per se, and Bois 1920 has created a nice version of a common scent.

I like BR540 and I love Trajan by Electimuss. I have as a hobby to try all the dupes as possible. This is male BR540 version without the medicine scent. On the other hand, it has a very week performance. Doesn’t project at all and disappear after one hour. So sad I can’t smell the blood orange and citrusy as described, and which I love in Trajan. Still very nice smell while still there 🥲

Gonna offer an opposing viewpoint here--if you like BR540 but don't like it's overpowering, almost oppressive strength and sweetness, then you'd probably prefer Oro Rosso. Just because something doesn't have nuclear performance doesn't mean it's bad. The performance on this is perfectly fine; if you can't smell it after an hour, it's because you went noseblind.

Oro Rosso by Bois 1920 gives off a similar vibe to Baccarat Rouge 540, but in a more relaxed way. It has that sweet, airy scent, just without the boldness. It’s more subtle and wearable—great if you want the Baccarat style but not as intense.

At first impression it smells like Baccarat Rouge, but it soon becomes nauseating. Something here smells cheap. The original one for me is very unisex, but this one is more on the feminine side. If you don't want to spend the price of Baccarat Rouge, there are other much better middle eastern clones.

I tend to blind-sample fragrances to remove as many biases as possible. How I wish I'd known than the vial I randomly drew out of my big box o' samples was a BR 540 clone, and a less refined one at that. With every encounter with br540 (and it's innumerable uninspired clones) in the wild, I loathe it more and more. Not only is it overdone, it's the epitome of something fairly average becoming a huge, inexplicable trend. It is inescapable. I can only hope one day we'll look back and wonder what we were all thinking and become better people. However, I can't blame a brand for cashing in and trying to make a little money off of the hype. Oro Rosso is a more abrasive version of it, with more peppery undertones. But it's all centered around that screechy burnt sweet note in the middle. If you're looking for something like BR 540, please reconsider. But if you're certain that's what you want to do, this is yet another one to check out.

Despite wonderful reviews and excellent ingredients, the opening and main notes were unbearable. I did not connect with this perfume at all: returned.

Oro Rosso undoubtedly recalls the famous Baccarat Rouge. There are very similar aspects between the two fragrances, in this one perhaps the citrus fruits are more perceptible and I feel less softness in the evolution, but they are truly negligible details. In my opinion it is good to wear, it certainly gets compliments, and it is a valid and, let's face it, more convenient alternative to the MFK.

I have a sample off this and gonna try it out this week! At the store it was love at first sniff. Not a cheap buy so it maybe will vr for next month procent so 😉😝! Very female fragrance for me. It could be a signature scent for a whole year around in My eyes. Give this one realy a shot !!

Another take on Baccarat Rouge 540. Bonus points since my wife likes it, and you can usually find it at a great price on the grey market.

Legit BR540 with extremely poor longevity. Not even an hour. Wow

A more fruity BR540 with zero performance! Nice job Bois 1920

Pretty much a copy of MFK's BR540.
