Tinharé

This is my second bottle of Tinhare. It was one of the first higher-quality perfumes I ever bought, so there is definitely nostalgia involved. Since then I have tried and owned many fragrances, including Instant Crush and Baccarat Rouge 540. At one point I was torn between buying another bottle of Instant Crush or returning to Tinhare. I had almost forgotten how it truly smelled, so today I bought it again. To me, this is the best interpretation of this DNA. It is less sweet and less loud. More controlled. More balanced. I especially love layering with it. Out of all the fragrances built around this style, this is the only one I feel comfortable wearing anytime, anywhere. It is comforting and elegant. It does not rely on saffron, which I usually love as a note, yet on my skin Tinhare simply works better. After exploring many complex and experimental perfumes over the last five years, I find myself appreciating how clearly this one tells its story. It whispers instead of projecting. It draws you in rather than announcing itself. Longevity is decent and the sillage stays intimate. I have managed to find a 75–100ml bottle twice for around 30€, so I do not hesitate the extra spraying. On my skin it opens with something like mandarin peel, slightly bitter and fresh, with a subtle eastern warmth underneath. The vanilla is present but toned down, never sticky. The woods feel lightly smoky, resinous and just a touch incensy. It is not overly sweet, and that restraint is exactly why it works. Sometimes the quieter version of a popular DNA ends up being the most articulate one.

Finally, a decent dupe for BR540. I've been trying Her, Cloud and then stumbled upon this. Smelled it in the stores and was blown away by how similar the smell was. I think Le Couvent really hit the note with the unisex front. The other "dupes" smells too feminine and sweet. Tinharé was stuck in my mind for days. I finally bought it and have been trying it on me. The opening is so good the first seconds. It really smells like BR540 right then. But when I smell my wrists later I detect a different note I didn't noticed before. And it bothered me. Maybe it's the citrus? (Or maybe it was because I put it on after I put on my mango body lotion lol). Anyways after 2-3 hours it went back into being soo delicious. I asked my cousin what she thought about it. She was surprised as she thought it was the regular BR540. I said nope. I've found a new one for much cheaper. ;) She said she smelled it when I came into the room as well so it's nice to hear that it's projecting. Not as strong as BR540 ofc but I didn't expect that anyways. Love it! You should definitely try it.

One of the best Baccarat Rouge 540 dupes on the market. Better than Cloud, Burberry Her, Instant Crush or other similar clones with the same profile scent. Don’t understand how this smells like Baccarat Rouge 540 when they have no notes in common than jasmine. According to the pyramid notes, Tinhare has vanilla, jasmine, mandarin oranges and woody notes. But somehow it’s nearly identical to BR540! Has the same sugary sweetness, airiness, addictive quality like the Francis Kurkdijan one. Lasts well, it’s really intense and strong with moderate diffusion in the air. Very affordable compared to BR540 but with a more modest packaging and presentation. Very underrated and very good value for money! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an affordable and very similar smelling perfume to BR540 if you can find it. Not sure if it’s not discontinued...

This perfume is airy, but deep and complex without being too much. It is classy, elegant, cosy and sensual. I don't really like gourmand perfumes, but was looking for a sweeter and light one, something to pair with Nubica (my all time favourite perfume also from Le Couvent), and Tinharé is exactly what I was looking for. Also, this perfume works perfectly on my skin and lasts all day. It is unisex, but I do feel it opens a bit more masculine, more citrus-y, and a few minutes afterwards it leans more feminine and vanilla-y, in the nicest way possible. Another point I really do appreciate is the fact that the brand is vegan, the prices are more than fair and the packaging is classic and minimalist, but still very pretty and interesting. They are a fresh and nice change from the more commercial and loud perfumes we are so used to, in my opinion.

For me, this is an amazing scent. I smell warm, sweet (note: not overpowering sweet) vanilla and amber notes. I can hardly feel the citrusy note, my guess is that the orange note maybe adds more of a fruity touch than a fresh one. I dont agree that this is similiar to ariana grandes cloud. Cloud is soooo sweet, almost like thoose flower/heart erasers you hade when you were a kid that smelled like artificial candy. And I can detect if someone is wearing it in probably 10 seconds. This scent is way more complex and more luxurious smelling. It is beautiful, sexy and comforting scent that is not too woody or too much vanilla. Just perfect if you want a darker sweet, almost like a mature caramel scent. Ive worked with parfume for many years and would say that this is more unique and different from anything else Ive smelled. Love it!
