Amber Rouge

I just got this the other day after considering getting the original BR540 but was afraid to do so since there were rumours about reformulation, and quite frankly to me it smells very medicinal. I have the BR540 Extrait and I would say that Amber Rouge is somewhat in the middle in between these two, leaning more towards the OG. The reviews here were right too, Amber Rouge isn't as medicinal, perhaps a bit in the opening for a couple of minutes, but otherwise it has all the goodness of BR540, with a little extra sweetness, thus giving it a bit of that Extrait vibe. I would honestly never consider getting the "real deal" in this case, when this is the exact same thing, but better. Personally, I do not agree that this is an Extrait dupe though, as some said. The original ExDP is deeper, more complex and a bit sweeter. It's very hard to describe, but the difference is there, so in that case I do think it's worth getting the original and getting to experience the wonderful journey it takes you on. However, this is an Amber Rouge review and with that being said, this perfume is absolutely stunning and so worth getting! I adore it! ***UPDATE: bought the og EDP*** I have to admit I ended up eating my own words. I purchased the original EDP and it is much better and much more potent than Amber Rouge. Surprisingly, the medicinal smell is minimal and I get more sweetness and burnt sugar now. The bottle I received was made in November 2022, perhaps something has changed, or it is just me, but I can't get enough of it! However, Amber Rouge still remains a great alternative and a good perfume :D

I have this perfume and I have to say, it smells exactly like MFK BR540 and the bottle it comes in is exquisite with red Swarovski crystals I assume that is on it and it's very hefty at 2.7 oz. Now, let me get to the longevity of the perfume. The only thing I can say to you that it only lasted 5 to 6 hours on my skin, until it became a skin scent. I only sprayed it on my hot points of my body. I haven't tested it on clothes, so maybe it will perform well with clothes. I've tested it after I took a shower, exfoliate, and moisturize my skin before bed. This was at around 10:38am.......FYI*** I work night shift in case you want to know why I went to bed within the morning hours.*** I woke up at around 4:30pm I didn't smell it anymore. I have asked my husband did he smell it? He said that it's quite faint but it's there. I'm honestly not disappointed in this wonderful dupe that I have found at a VERY reasonable price of $80.00. Seeing that the Baccarat Rouge 540 by Francis Kurkdjian is at a $300 to $600, I would have to pass on the original, seeing that there are dupes out here that will give the original Baccarat Rouge 540 a run for its monies due to their price........but what do I know, maybe there are people out there who can shell out that type of monies for the original and if so that is GREAT for them and I'm happy for them.......but for me, I'll stick with being cheap and trying the dupes which is Great to have and test out before you plan on buying the original version of MFK BR540.

I bought this a few months ago at the tail-end of the summer and was so confused when I first started to wear it because it had this super sweet smell to it that I'm not entirely into. I love sweet perfumes but in the heat this one was just not it for me. I stopped wearing it and tucked it away in storage for another month or so until it got cooler out and guys.... This perfume absolutely transformed for me as the temperature dropped outside. The way the wind carried it's scent would hypnotize me and anyone around me. It's sweet but fresh and airy. I've worn this to the golf club a few times and every single time someone would ask me what I was wearing because it smelled so good. Even when I'm casually out with my boyfriend, girls would ask me what I'm wearing. Someone even asked me to walk by them again so they could smell it lol. It lasts for HOURS and HOURS on me. Even after I would change clothes it would still linger in my hair and skin. Oh and yes, my boyfriend is absolutely in love with this perfume and loves when I wear it. I spent a weekend at his place, left my jacket in his truck and the next day he texted me, "You're haunting me. I can smell you in my bed sheets and I can smell you in my truck. I don't even want to wash my sheets but I will, and you're gonna have to come back and make them smell like you again." YES, IT IS A WINNER IN MY BOOKS AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER BOTTLE!!!

Yes, this is an excellent dupe for BR540 & fragrance unto itself. I bought this because it was similar to BR540 & oh yes it's similar and so good. I got compliments on this as soon as I put it on. My husband loves it and I can see how men would like this. I've always preferred unisex scents best as I've just always gravitated to them. This is perfect in that regard. The saffron & ambergris are so good in this. It goes so well with the cold weather. Like others when I got it in the warmer months it smelled sweet. Now come the cold weather & this smells delicious. This last for hours and hours till the next day. I one the skin scent. The ambergris becomes a lovely saffron, jasmine, musk. The saffron stays all the way to the end. That amber saffron with the balsam, & the jasmine. It's just perfect. I'm very happy with this as I've smelled and wore BR540. I am with the people who say it's 95% similar. This is a compliment magnet and you can get it for a great price. I love the red glass I will buy a backup of this since BR540 is so $$. I'm seriously thrilled with this. Best dupe that I've found & I adore it on its own. This smells fantastic and I really love it.

Everyone is talking about Baccarat Rouge instead of talking about this perfume. This is a wearable cotton candy that has a tiny spiciness in it. I don't like extremely sweet perfumes but I do like this one. It doesn't have a huge sillage but people around you can smell you for sure. I get compliments when I have this one on me. It stays on my sweater for days and the next day after wearing it I could smell it on my hair. Perfect for fall and winter, it can be overly sweet in heat. Go for it and enjoy it. :) Update.. I traveled literally 24 hours - stopped at the Dubai airport (in the Heaven of Fragrances, where you can smell perfumes you can't find in stores), sprayed a lot of perfumes on my arms (of course) - and when my bestie hugged me after the long flight, she immediately asked what I was wearing. She thought it was baccarat. The point is that, in addition to the other perfumes that had been on me for a few hours, she could smell Amber Rouge. So Yeah, This Lady is pretty damn good. Since I posted this review I've used 3 bottle of this beauty (and already have my 4th one) also bought it for my two beasties as a gift, they love it too.
