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!

This has that Baccarat Rouge 540 thing happening with less sweetness and more mandarin and vanilla. Tinhare is gentler, a bit creamier, and less projecting, but that's what I want at this point. I keep going back and forth on whether I want to buy a bottle of the real deal, and though I think it is a STUNNING masterpiece, I get nose-fatigued due to the persistent projection and longevity. I'm also smelling BR 540 and its clones EVERYWHERE, so the intrigue is a bit lost at this point. I have a couple of decants of BR 540 but decided to buy a small bottle of Tinhare for casual wear. It satisfies my BR 540 cravings without the nose fatigue or headache. Projection and longevity are moderate and might be a good alternative for people with sensitive noses.

I have a prejudice against the BR540 dupes since nothing can compare to it, this is how I feel about this fragrance. I was not planning to try Tinhare but the reviews made me feel so curious about it and I decided to give it a try via a decant and my purchase arrived today. I have to confess that I was not expecting to love it this much :S It is a beautiful scent beyond being similar to BR540. I can say that I may prefer Tinhare to BR540 for daily wear since it is very nice and easy to wear. The price is very reasonable as well. It is a great plus that it is cruelty free. And one last thing I want to add, the melody of the name Tinhare is so beautifully in accordance with the scent itself. Perfect

I did not expect to love it so much and yet I do. This is by no means a sweet vanilla scent. It's woody, ambroxan-like, gently spicy and complex. It's as interesting as it is evasive. You catch a sniff of it and want to smell it closer, but when you try it is not where you sprayed it. You blame its poor longevity, but you are wrong- It's your olfactory brain playing tricks on you. Longevity it's allright with this one. Just smell your clothes from that day you worn it and you will see. I am suprised ambroxan isn't listed. I totally get the similarity to BR540- only minus the sweetness. BR540 is burned sugar, cotton candy sweet. Tinharé is way more sophisticated imo.

I’ve had this now for a week and am super happy with it. I have several others from Le Couvent des Minimes and while all are very good, this is my new favorite from them. This is a clear compliment getter. I get stopped by people - usually men - asking what I am wearing hours after application. It could be the sweet and fresh BR540 DNA, but it’s been a while since strangers have approached so consistently to ask about a fragrance. Projection: arms length (give or take). Longevity: One spray lasts around 12 hrs on my skin.

My daughter (11 y.o.) when smelling this one said: this is what I believe Paris smells like. She’s never been there, but I know exactly what she means.. its classy, sweet, sexy... not a girls scent, but a womans.. my favourite, without a doubt. It’s not long lasting on me.. i find myself re-spraying alot during the day. Still, I dont mind because the smell is just the perfect confidence-booster I need to be the strong, independent woman I aspire to be😅😅

This is a really cozy warm scent. I love it. I live in Sweden and this is perfect for the dark and cold fall and winters we have here. In the opening (first twenty minutes) I get more of a masculine vibe from this but when it settles down I am left with a beautiful sweet, powdery and sort of spicy vanilla cupcake with a hint of elegant tangerine. I've layered this with Ariana Grandes cloud a couple of times now and i think it's a magical combo!

This one is a beauty. It opens up with resinous wood and bitter orange peel. It then moves through with a hint of floral, varm vanilla and candied/fruity orange (without the sweetness). The vanilla and more of the jasmine gets more prominent after some time. Its not sweet but it has a rounded warm echo from the vanilla throughout that gets carried by the wood. I would say its unisex but leans slightly more female.

Tinharé by Le Couvent is very similar with the famous luxury perfume Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. The bottle is elegant, the quality high and the price quality ratio very appealing. If you are interested into hearing more about this perfume please feel free to watch my Youtube video on BR540 dupes on my channel perfeptions on perfume perceptions.

This is indeed very close to BR540 (I would say 90% close), although I still think that BR540 has a complexity which is pretty much impossible to recreate. I get around 5-7h longevity with this one but the sillage is very soft which perhaps is deliberate to draw people in. For the price, I think this is a great alternative. Just be aware of the gentle sillage!

Extremely close to Red temptation from Zara. Burberry Her and Ariana Grande Cloud has something similar but they are really there own scents, her being prominent on strawberry and cloud being more creamy coconut and lavender. I really like this kind of scent profile, sweet, earthy and woody. Can't say anything about the resemblance with BR540.

Absolutely is a young sister from kurkdjian baccarat rouge 540 I feel like this fragrance so beautiful open very fabulous. baccarat rouge It smells like a Hospital for First smell. And le couvent The first scent is beautiful, sweet Light without a medicine smell. But for me, I love both.It's the smell that makes you look so posh. Love it

Love!! ❤ So cosy and soft, it's the perfect fall and winter perfume. I haven't smellt BR540 so I can't say anything about that comparison but this is VERY similar to Al-haramain Manege Rouge. MR has better performance though, Tinhare lasts maybe 5-6 hours on me with moderate sillage. Unisex, leaning a little bit more feminine imo.

Smells 95% like baccarat rouge 540! BUT i timed it, 4h and 30 min its a skin scent! Damn shame or this shit would be the next BIG seller. But if you dont mind. Go for this 50ml for 50eur..! EDIT! spray 2 sprays on the same spot and it last 9+hours. Crazy

Beautiful woody vanilla, very unisex. Not too feminine or masculine. I wish people would stop calling this a dupe for BR540. They are nothing similar at all, not even a little bit! That said, I love both. But they are completely different.

In love with this! Gourmand-like but a bit more complex than that thanks to the sweet citrus adding a bit of edge. I smell delicious. I can't stop smelling myself. Sprayed it on my shirt.
