Mystic Sunset

I got a decant of this beautiful fragrance along with BR540 in a mass sample grab. I immediately gravitated towards Mystic Sunset over BR540. Many say they are dupes but I completely disagree. It's less sickly sweet and has so much more depth and even some warmth in the dry down which I think comes from the cedar bass note-even though I don't get that from BR540 which also has cedar. Again I only have a .07ml so not a lot at all but the sillage isn't super great nor is it very long lasting but I love it so much I don't even mind. In my opinion I would wear this all year round but pulls more spring and summer for me. I just purchased a full bottle of this and I'm fairly certain after wearing it almost daily as I test it that this is going to become my signature scent.

I don't have BR540, so this is just a review of my experience with a sample of this perfume. I like it! It's definitely sweet, which I am fairly tolerant of. The weird metallic note in the middle is off-putting, but mild. This doesn't seem like a complex perfume to me, but I would reach for it on a gray day to cheer things up. Impressions over time: The first hit (other than alcohol) is fruity and quite sweet. I expected something green, but got berries and sugar. Ten minutes in, it mostly smells like sugar, with a buttery note that reminds me of caramel. At thirty minutes it still smells sweet, but there's also something a bit metallic-spicy-weird that's hard to identify. (Saffron, likely?) The dry down is the same an hour later. By two hours, all I can smell is undifferentiated sweetness and some powder, and it's a skin scent, where it remains until about hour four. I never got cedar.

Scent that bites you deep... Lighter version of "Baccarat rouge 540" can bite your imagination deep with wonderful composition that was created with inspiration about the sunset on the Tyrrhenian Sea from the Positano, Italy. Gorgeous views of the coastline can be enjoyed almost at every corner of that scenic city. Definitely unisex fragrance that can be enjoyed during night out and at your leisure time. One spray lasts awhile. I have numerous "Baccarat rouge" dupes and this one is the most pleasant of them all. Silage is very delicate and proper for evening wear.

It's a soft and lovely fruity/woody/sweet scent. Definitely somewhere between BR540 and St.Julep. I think out of the three I'd pick St. Julep to buy a fb because I feel like it has the most character and is more complex. But if you're looking for a BR540 dupe, I also validate everyone's comments below.

Ok let me tell you Im not a fan of BR540 but this stuff is YUMMY soooo much better, doesn't have that smothering quality that I also smell in cloud Is sexy, intense, interesting, I think I need a bottle.
