What wearers say
“This was my first taste of the "BR540" DNA. I very much loved this fragrance and bought another one right after finishing my first, but there are a few things that made me not buy it anymore. First, the longevity of this perfume. It lasts for 4 hours max even on skin. Second, it's price. It is priced at around the same as many BR540 clones with better longevity. Lastly, they changed the packaging to a non-clear shiny bottle. Longevity is around 2-4 hours, projection is 1-2 hours.”
“smells extremely similar to the OG BACCARAT. Get this instead. Amazing projection, lasts forever. Seriously, I know ZARA gets a bad rep for their longevity and projection, but this. this is amazing.”
“This was the first fragrance I tried from Zara and I have to say I love it; I've recieved a lot of compliments with this one.It does have the Baccarat Rouge 540 vibe, but the opening is more citrusy, then the burnt sugar/cotton candy smell appears. I don´t detect the evernyl.To be honest, I don´t think this is a beast mode fragrance when it comes to projection, but it lasts around 7-8 hours on my skin and I do get whiffs all day long.For the price, the perfomance is unbeatable.”
