What wearers say
“Hmm I’m not sure about this. As if we needed another dupe of BR540 in the first place.It does smell very similar, especially in the opening but it has this weird note in it I can’t detect that is slightly off putting. Thankfully that doesn’t last long and the dry down is much softer.Long wearing on skin and I guess would be good for layering but there are definitely better dupes than this. Not the best from this line at all.”
“I have never smelled Baccarat Rouge before but this Smells VERY similar to Ariana Grande's Cloud except Gharaam is more woodsy,and has a more masculine dry down..It also does not have the hint of coconut that you get with Cloud.Cloud also has a beautiful lavender that this does not have The opening however is the same candy cane smell. The projection and longevity is also pretty similar... I personally prefer Cloud as it's more feminine imo.”
“It's a Baccarat Rouge dupe and I'm not minding it :) I'm not shelling hundreds of $ for the real thing, it's crazy! I tried spraying it all over my body and it didn't last as long and it turned into a skin fragrance.Tried it again spraying it on my hair and clothes and it lasted 6+ with an about 2 feet projection.”
