What wearers say

“I agree with some others as far as batch variation. You are definitely gambling if you buy this perfume now and it’s not worth it. I purchased it and it last not even 1 hour on me and I know people who have purchased it years ago who have it and it last days on clothes. It’s not the same. And that’s what happens when something is hyped up and everyone wants something the quality tends to start falling due to greed. I’m over this fragrance. There are even a few dupes that were once great performers that are not as good.”

“Absolutely disappointing. Pls keep your money and just buy decants of these instead.Although I love the smell Longevity and sillage is very weak for an extrait and for the really expensive price point. I would say about 2 hrs . I still smell it but it sits to close to the skin and does not project anymore after.I Have a feeling this might have been reformulated because My brother has an older batch of this and it is a beast. The new batches are very weak.I hate it when these companies reformulate something that was already perfect just so they can save money and make more money.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I like it, but I don't love it for it's price point. I would expect nuclear performance but I only get something (for me at least) that performs for about 4-5 hours. The scent is definitely signature and ALMOST lives up to the hype but just not for the price point imo, especially to smell like what other people have that just graduated from designer to niche fragrances.”

The Ruby Edition leans slightly heavier on oud and amber sweetness compared to the original's delicate balance of floral brightness and clean ambroxan. The opening is more immediately woody and oriental, whereas Baccarat Rouge 540 unveils its florals with greater subtlety and sophistication.
