What wearers say
“Im very glad the burnt plastic smell is not just me. Once that subsides it actually smells pretty close to BR540. However the projection and longevity are pretty lackluster. For the price Dossier is asking I'd look other places when looking for a BR540 dupe, the plastic smell in the opening really turns me off.”
“This is an excellent fragrance. Lasts a long time, great sillage, tons of compliments, and amazing price point. Smells rich, two or three sprays especially on clothing lasts forever. If you like BR 540 but find it has a medical vibe, give this a try. I think I actually prefer it to the original.”
“Closest dupe of BR540 I’ve smelled. Slightly smoother than the original, but very nice. I lose the smell very quickly so I can’t speak on the longevity, but I do on actual BR540 as well. Well worth the money if you want to try a very close dupe of BR540.”
