Ooh La Rouge

I got this as a freebie; I probably never would have picked it out myself. By all means, this should be a fragrance I hate, but I actually really love it! What a nice surprise! Edit after taking some time to think: I say this with all this with love. This smells like a cheap perfume trying to be an expensive perfume, but not really in a bad way. It smells like going to the mall at 16. You're trying on clothes you can't afford with your friends and daring each other to go into Spencer's. When you're done, you both get a smoothie at the foodcourt and laugh together. This smell is light, feminine, and not taking itself too seriously. It has an initial sharp alcohol smell and a cloying sweetness that I personally associate with cheaper perfumes...That note that makes people go "wow, it smells like perfume in here." After a few minutes, it dries down into a subtler floral sweetness. The amber is heavy, the musk is light, fluffy, and white. This is an easy grab when going to run errands, and I think this would fit a woman of any age. That being said, I think this smells too much "like perfume" to be worn in an office setting without getting complaints from coworkers, even though this is not a challenging fragrance.

This is the greatest perfume I have ever smelled and threw everything I thought I knew about scents right in the trash. A little background, I absolutely HATE musk in perfumes. It's the only thing I can smell and to me it always smells like B.O so I tend to avoid perfumes that have them. I tried this while I was out shopping because I thought the bottle was really pretty so hadn't looked up anything about it, so I was surprised that I loved a perfume with musk in it as much as I do. I can't tell it's there, or it's just so subtle and isn't so overpowering like with other scents. When I first sprayed it, there was a very light sweet smell. After a couple of hours of wear, it became this fruity floral with a warmness to it. To me and on my skin, it was kind of like a baked berry pie (maybe cherry?), brown sugar, and some flowers thrown in for fun. The best way I can think to describe it is a warm floral. I do wish it had greater sillage so I didn't have to lift my wrist to my nose to breath it all in. The wear length is good. For me it lasted about 7 hours. This is the one that's going to be my signature scent and I dont' care if others hate it because I'm so in love with this perfume.

This is a beautiful scent, it is definitely similar to BR 540, and a more affordable dupe, I tested both together and was hard pressed to tell the difference, this one is slightly heavier in its overall scent, it is very sweet with a dark amber undertone so It can definitely be unisex. Compared to cloud by Ariana, I would say this a more mature version, less the coconut scent, but this one is still very sweet with its praline note. Also the bottle is beautiful, I could not bring myself to display the cloud bottle as it’s so childish but this one is gorgeous! I get the praline and saffron right away and the amber is present throughout. The florals are well mixed so they don’t fully stand out on their own. A delicious burnt sugar fragrance! It lasts a good 5 hours on my skin and moderately projects, it is not loud but subtle sillage is present throughout. Happy to have this one in my collection!

I definitely get the praline. Its a lovely sweet, creamy candy fragrance. I'd put it in the same family as Philosophy Falling In Love, which I also love. I really, really like this for spending a quiet evening with my fiancé. He tends to like sweet fragrances on me, and this one was a winner. I find it to be a much more pleasant answer to Burberry Her Elixir that a lot of people love and I personally find to be far too sweet, and almost like being punched in the face by deflated cotton-candy. All this being said, my ever present disclaimer: fragrances react differently on everyone depending on their personal, skin chemistry. Personally, I like this one a lot.

I love this fragrance. I know people lump it in with 540 dupes but personally I don't like BR540 on me, so that's not what Ooh La Rouge is for me. I love this scent, it's soft, sweet, but still elegant. The sweetness is soft but the lasting power is not. I spray this before I go to bed and still smell it in the morning as a skin scent. I mostly get the praline and amber wood notes with a very light white floral. Since it's not terribly overpowering I find it to be very versatile, signature scent worthy. I'll wear this on a nice date night or to work or really anywhere.

Agreed with @sejohnson77! This fragrance simply does not last. At all! So disappointing because it truly is a beautiful fragrance. Wore a sample of it in Seattle at a fancy restaurant and two separate diners I walked by came over to ask me what I was wearing. That’s what made me buy it. I remember spraying this right before I went inside the restaurant not realizing it would dissipate almost immediately after spraying once I purchased a full bottle.

I have been on the hunt for a dupe for BR540 because I just cannot and will not pay that much for a perfume. Not right now anyway, that opinion may change....but this one smells pretty much just like it. Its a very sweet scent, amber is the top note then it gets really sweet with just the right amount of spice. If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the popular frag or just like these notes, I would recommend picking it up!

Lovvvve. I came here to see if I could figure out why this smells so nostalgic. I saw someone mention in the reviews that it's Abercrombie? It's reminding me of my teen years in about 07/08. That makes perfect sense. I bought a full bottle and my mom loved it so much I gave it to her. As a baccarat hater I love this. Sometimes it smells a little like Japanese cherry blossom from bbw in the background. Very long lasting, pretty,

Very pretty offering from Siriano..definitely get the baccarat vibes but they still are 2 very different scents. OLR is sweeter and I can definitely also detect the jasmine right at first. The dry down is the heaven for me sweet soft and powdery, this scent I feel stays close to the skin but it’s a performance beast even lasting through a shower..in all a nice scent to look into if you’re a fan to BR540.

Love! Don’t listen to the bad reviews on here, very ambery and amazing smell! Doesn’t smell musky at all. Smells great!

If your are looking for an affordable alternative to BR540, this is it.

This brings back such a strong scent memory, but I'm not 100% sure I'm pinpointing it. Abercrombie store comes to mind. It's salty and really not that sweet. It could be unisex or even a men's cologne. Similar to Cloud but less sugary. Edit: Holy moly, this is long lasting! It's interesting, close up it smells salty and Abercrombie-ish, as I said above, but the sillage cloud smells like toasted but not burnt sugar. I wore it all day and I sort of grew nose blind to it until I worked out at night and that sugar note filled the air. It wasn't cloying at all, not even for a work out. I was super surprised that I smelled it so strongly 8 hours after I sprayed it. This is seriously growing on me. I really don't love how it smells close up, but the gentle and persistent sillage cloud is super nice.

This really does smell like BR540 but slightly more floral. It has the same sweetness but less woody. The best way to describe this is if someone was cheating on their homework but tried to change it up slightly haha. This was the first time i've seen this Siriano red bottle at the mall, so I was curious how it smelled. Upon the first spray, I knew it was a dupe. I was actually wearing a tester of BR540 when I smelled this perfume while out shopping! In my opinion, if you like BR540 and want a cheaper option this would be it. Again, they are not the same perfume, but you can tell someone who made the perfume knew the "assignment".

This perfume smells like fresh flowers in the most beautiful way—like truly identical; however, the scent is pretty soft (small silage) and does not last a long time. I’d say the scent lasted barely more than an hour or so and I couldn’t even smell it by putting my wrists to my nose. After layering and spraying far more than usual, I was truly shocked at how quickly the scent dissipated. Although I love the scent, I just can’t justify purchasing a full bottle of something with such little durability (thankfully only bought a travel size). I will still be wearing my travel spray though and just respraying more frequently (:

When I tried this, I could definitely tell it had BR540 DNA. I don't care for BR so I was surprised that I actually like this one. It smellls like Christmas to me, pine trees, cedar, and a cinnamon latte. I have a small sample bottle and I'm thinking about getting a bigger bottle. This is definitely a fall/winter scent and quite lovely. It smells sweeter and softer than BR which is probably why I like it. I felt BR was very sharp and off putting. This one is quite warm, I'm going to add it to my collection and enjoy when I want something different than my usual vanilla or coconut scents.

I'm amazed by the amount of people in the comments who are repulsed by this perfume. I smell a complex spicy vanilla that I love! This is my favorite vanilla perfume, though I may just be crazy since other people are picking up everything except vanilla. The mixture of grapefruit adds a lightness and tart tone while praline gives just enough sweetness to remind you of grandmas baking. I feel very sexy and mysterious when I wear this perfume.

For a mass marker perfume, it's pretty good, it stands out in the sea of flowery-fruity-soapy concoctions. I smell something like caramel chocolate and lots of amber. It's quite nice. I do not get any of the nastiness other reviewers describe - no rubber, no burnt tires (although I do detect some smokiness), no gasoline, no plastic. I probably wouldn't buy the full bottle, but I will certainly enjoy my 5 mL sample.

honestly i like this one. the top notes dry down pretty quickly and i feel like what lingers is there for a long time but isnt crazy overpowering. its a pleasant jasmine musk. Plus, out of the sample pack i got for christmas, this one is the bf's favorite, he loves this one. i'm not getting any of the chemicals/gas that other people seem to, so maybe its a skin chemistry thing?

I would put this in the same category as Ariana Grande Cloud (I guess Baccarat Rouge by extension, but I haven't smelled that one so I can't compare). A nutty-yet-airy, sweet amber. Somehow it's fluffy and heavy at the same time. Perfect for evening wear. Very pretty, but not my favorite from Siriano. I personally think Silhouette edges this out.

There are similarities to Baccarat, and I think it’s mainly that saffron and sweetness. Light yet projecting. The dry down is a lot different than Baccarat as Ooh La Rouge stays linear throughout and lasts about 3-4 hours (Baccarat can last up to 12 on my skin!). Needless to say, it’s a decent fragrance for the price.
