What people who wear Zara Red Temptation For Her report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“smells extremely similar to BR540. only difference i can pick up, as odd as this may sound, is a slight urine note which does dissipate in the dry down. i find BR540 dupes usually have this problem but for the price and the fact that you can no longer smell it in the dry down, it's pretty good. just something magical about the original BR540 that's really difficult to replicate.”
“Red Temptation is not a dupe for anything and it's a bad perfume on it's own. It's not a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540, it's not a dupe for Ariana Grande Cloud.It has a moss note that reminds you of Baccarat Rouge 540, but that's the only similarity between them. They smell alike about 6%.Why is it also a bad perfume on it's own? Because the moss, metallic note we all know is accompanied by a horrible burned plastic, carbonized plastic.”
“this is probably the closest dupe to br540 out there. it's got that sweet, slightly "dentist's office" burnt strawberry jam scent from the ethyl maltol (literal crack to my nose), but it's still grounded by the moss which really comes out more on the dry down. is it overworn now? yeah, but i can see why! it really is the perfect everyday scent: not too sweet or too fresh or too anything. plus, the projection and longevity of this frag is honestly great--it's even lasted me through a shower!”
