What wearers say

“One of my favorite fragrance profiles of all time. Finally bought a full size bottle after using countless dupes for the past 4-5 years, and honestly i wouldn’t rebuy this. The projection and longevity unfortunately isn’t what it was hyped up to be and i find myself layering this with a cheaper dupe most of the time… you could probably get the same/better performance from a cheaper dupe. Nonetheless i really love the smell of this fragrance and it feels nice to finally have the real thing i guess lol.”

“There are more and more fragrances cloning 540 Extrait. Sadly, the brand has reduced the quality: the longevity and projection are weaker, and the ambergris no longer stands out clearly on my skin. At the same time, the price has increased far too much compared to five years ago when I first purchased it. With declining quality, significantly higher pricing, and so many clone brands offering very similar scents at much lower prices, I’ve stopped using this fragrance now that it has become so widely worn.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This is going to be a very short one. Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP smells amazing; for the under 30 minutes it lasted on my skin and clothing. I put it on after my shower and was thinking “wow this smells amazing, I can see why everyone loves it” and before I’d gotten down to my car and headed out on my trip it was gone entirely. 0/10 for longevity and projection and a 1/10 overall because the scent is wonderfully. I’ll end this one by saying simply “I hope that Extrait de Parfum is much better in longevity and projection”.”
