Elegant Woman

I had zero interest in the Baccarat hype, partly because I didn't find the notes appealing, partly because of the popularity. I never even tried it, I had no idea if anyone I know or met uses it. A few weeks ago I was testing a few fragrances in the local drugstore as there was an insane sale, but I didn't find anything for my liking. Suddenly I saw this on one of the bottom shelves and decided to give it a try 'just to know what this fuss is all about'. I sprayed one on a paper strip and oh god, it was amazing! Then I sprayed one on my wrist. At the first few seconds I smelt something unpleasant I didn't smell on the paper, so I thought it doesn't work with my chemistry. But after a few minutes there was nothing but that sweet delicious scent. I immediately understood why Baccarat is so hyped and knew I lost and just have to buy it :D I smell absolutely no medicinal note, only fluffy sweetness. It reminds me of a big cup of hot vanilla milk with marshmallows, it truly is heavenly. The scent is quite strong, even though this is a cheap dupe, so I recommend spraying it with a light hand, only 2-3 sprays are enough, more can be overpowering and nauseating. The longevity is tricky - I feel as it fades quickly in the first 30 minutes (this is when I have to resist the urge to spray more), but after an hour or so it "comes back" and stays for hours, even days on clothes. It's definitely worth the price and the quality of the scent is surprisingly good for a dupe, doesn't smell cheap at all.

La Rive Elegant Woman: -Look, loads of the reviews are written here, because this perfume tries to blatantly copy Baccarat Rouge (marketing and design wise). At the steep price point od 15 euros, I dont even know how it could compare, thats what I will state for starters.- This perfume is perfect combination of sweet and floral. On the first spray, it smells like velvet skin of someone you love. Like summer days on vacation. It smells like sun, frolicking with no problems and red lipgloss. It is not overly sweet like Cloud, it is just right.❤️❤️❤️ Age wise this is for someone younger, im thinking tween teen girl. This could be her first interaction with perfume. It lasts up to fricking ten hours, my flat smells like this, my outside clothes smell for weeks after this. My friends compliment me, my family compliments me, this is really the perfume that can satisfy anyone and the price point is beautiful. Do not be shy, you can buy this for your daughter or niece, it doesnt break a buck, smells nice and she cal feel like a queen of the world. I'm twenty and I still like to reach for this on the days when I cannot be bothered to use designer. Just try it, dont be judgmental.

Smells like Cloud, but the longevity??? I sprayed it on me in the shop and by 10 mins it was gone completely. Loved the fragrance, but even for this cheap I couldn't bare spending any money for such fart like longevity.

A lot like red temptation by zara and therefore BR 540?, but can't smell this one anymore after one/two hours. It's suited to wear to places where you don't want other people to be aware you are wearing perfume.

I love this one actually! It's feminine, elegant, and notes I'm getting most are amber & vanilla. I didn't expect it to be this good since it costs only 7€.
