Baccarat Rouge 540 is a very expensive, but also very popular fragrance from Francis Kurkdjian. As such, there are a lot of people who cannot afford this great perfume…or are just tired of paying for it. The good news is that there are plenty of options that can replicate or closely dupe what you get with BR 540. In this post, I want to present some cheaper clone alternatives that smell like this scent. I am consistently updating this page, as I find more suitable perfumes that bear resemblance to BR 540…so, check back for new ones. Contents
Which Perfumes Smell Like or are Dupes of Baccarat Rouge 540?The Other Kurkdjian PerfumeBurberry Her Eau De Parfum Spray – Burberry Her is a fragrance designed by Francis Kurkdjian that bears a lot of resemblance to his earlier Baccarat Rouge fragrance. They aren’t however exactly the same and Burberry Her does indeed have a distinct aroma from our target. Strawberry, raspberry, and citrus notes gives this one an overall sweeter profile. The latter stages aren’t as sweet, but this is a lighter and summery sort of perfume when compared to Baccarat. Actually, it’s pretty close to Cloud by Ariana Grande (my comparison post: Her vs. Cloud). Read my Full Burberry Her Review  A Cheaper, Near DupeAjmal Aristocrat, 2.5 Oz– Aristocrat is another sweeter option that does share the jasmine and saffron notes found in Baccarat Rouge. Along with, amber and a musky dry down. The citrus notes are a difference in the earlier stages, along with a heavy emphasis on sugar, that does settle down. Then, you will get muskier and drier notes, but also a big dose of that saffron note. All in all, it is a close rendition at a cheaper price, but with a greater cotton candy-like aroma through much of the wear. A Taste of New YorkGreenwich Village by Bond No. 9– This is another high end designer fragrance, much like our target. It’s not an exact dupe though, and very much retains its own style and charm. But, the similar style makes Greenwich Village a perfume to check out for Baccarat lovers. Up top you will get much more fruitiness, almost a tropical sort of vibe. Mandarin orange and lychee, with a great touch of cassis. That juiciness is met with the freshness of waterlily and some light jasmine touches. The dry down gets warmer with praline, vanilla, and musk. This has a sweeter, lighter, fruitier, and fresher aroma versus the Kurkdjian creation. The latter stages give you a nice creamy gourmand perfume. Greenwich Village is a beautiful scent, which some may actually prefer to our target. Probably the most similar in the start. The sillage and projection isn’t as powerful, which again, you may well prefer. The Popular Zara Smell a LikeRed Temptation by Zara– The similarities of Red Temptation to Baccarat made it a massive hit on social media posts and also caused it to be sold out for a long time. However, as of this update, this perfume is back and stock and offers a very similar fragrances at around $40. This doesn’t have the same level of sweetness as BR 540, to me. The orange note up top is sharp and its power in the early stages is one of the main distinctions here. It’s smooth, fresh, and has a good deal of ambroxan in the middle act. That’s when it’s most similar. The performance here is solid. The sillage for the first hour can pack a punch, but it does settle, into a more moderate wear. Decent longevity, not insane like BR. Also, a woodsy finish in the base notes. The Casino DupeCasino Royal by Dua Fragrances– So, the Dua Brand specializes in creating dupes or similar smelling fragrances. Casino Royale is their version of BR 540. But, they also have other perfumes that combine elements of BR 540 and Extrait, with notes of other perfumes to create a newer scent all together. So, it’s worth checking out these, since they sell at a reasonable price. None are super amazing, but they do a nice job. Is it an exact replica of Baccarat? It’s certainly close, but the differences are noticeable, if one is paying attention. Though, that’s to be expected with the price difference. To my nose, it isn’t as sweet or smooth, and has a larger floral presence. Jasmine and marigold. Also, has hints of the Extrait version of BR 540, it kind of leans that way. More Floral, PatchouliStramonio by V Canto– Stramonio is another one that gets talked about with Baccarat. This is not an exact copy, but has similar traits to the Kurkdjian perfume. The ambergris, saffron, and woody aspects are where this one shares plenty of overlap. Initially, though the saffron will be paired not only with the similar jasmine, but with notes like carnation and orchid. Also, this one does seem to have a greater patchouli influence. Stramonio isn’t nearly as sweet as our target and the performance isn’t as good. Lighter and less longevity. The Ariana OptionR.E.M. by Ariana Grande– Alright, Cloud by Ariana Grandeshares more in common with Baccarat Rouge 540…but R.E.M. is the better perfume (versus Cloud) and has plenty of similarities. It’s sweet, but more mature than the other fragrances that have been released by the singer. R.E.M. gives you a lot of what Cloud has to offer, but adding fig and lavender to make it stand on its own merit. R.E.M. has a nice depth with its sweetness, creamy tonka bean and later woodsy/lavender base. BR 540 is definitely floating around in the DNA, but don’t expect an exact replica, just a better version of the closer smell alike. Super Cheap Alternative FragranceDream Moon by Pacifica– As of now, this seems to be an exclusive to Target stores, which is where I got to experience this one. The opening is very much like what you get from Baccarat Rouge, but it dries down like a more cotton candy-like Cloud. You get rose, patchouli, and a fairly decent example of sandalwood for this price point. It also has other sweeter notes, giving it that vibe, but I haven’t seen what the exact listing of these notes are. Here the notes are listed as pink rose, patchouli, and sandalwood. What else it has beyond that, I haven’t been able to track down. But there has to be some sweeter notes in here. I definitely get plenty of sandalwood and patchouli. Dream Moon gives you a creamy sweet and patchouli gourmand aroma, that has a strong resemblance to what we want with BR 540. Also, for around $20, it delivers a nice performance to boot. More Floral, Similar AromaSunset Riot by Allsaints– There is a ton of overlap between this Allsaints release and BR 540, but Sunset Riot does have a pronounced orange blossom note that comes through for the duration. It’s a lighter wear than the Francis Kurkdjian, as well. Sunset Riot gives you a great citrus vibe up top, along with the amber, and a kick from the pink pepper lurking underneath. A bit woody, with those great floral notes led by the orange blossom. It is a very attractive, not overly sweet, and while it does have some thickness to its body; Sunset Riot doesn’t have much of a resinous feel, despite the amber. Great option. Not cheap, but more affordable than our target. Can be tougher to find. Sweet, Very Similar, a Bit Less ExpensiveManege Rouge by Al Haramain for Women 2.5 Oz / 75ml Eau de Parfum– Manege Rouge is pretty close to a full dupe of Baccarat Rouge 540. The opening act is a blend of sweetness and floral notes, led by saffron. The saffron adds a fresh and almost leathery quality to the mix. Manege has a nice amount of depth and gets sweeter, as it moves into the heart of the composition. That’s where you’ll get a greater amount of cotton candy and caramel. It’s not a thick or heavy sillaged scent and the sweetness is quite wearable. Doesn’t have the same power of 540, it’s less woody, but otherwise a darn good clone of the Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfume. Bath and Body Works CheapieBath and Body Works In The Stars Eau de Parfum 1.7 Fluid Ounce New In Box– In the Stars is a very inexpensive options that sort of skirts the line between Cloud and Baccarat Rouge. It’s lighter and fruitier than either, but has a warm base of sandalwood and amber. In the Stars can be more appealing for some folks, because it doesn’t have the lavender note that the Ariana Grande scent has. It has a nice woody dry down period, where it’s initial sweetness starts to give it more of the 540 character that we’re looking for. In the Stars is light, fresh, sweet, and actually gives a nice performance for a Bath and Body Works fragrance. Definitely worth a try to not break the bank. Another Under $30Ana Abiyedh Rouge by Lattafa- Rouge is another cheapie that does an impression of BR. The opening act, is admittedly a bit of a synthetic mess. It has that dry, plasticky, and alcohol aroma upon first spraying…but that’ll clear. This has the saffron and a bitter almond note up top, that will be better after a few minutes. Yes, this does have that 540-like smell, almost like Ajmal’s Aristocrat (listed earlier above), in how it comes across. Maybe, a bit more sugary sweet in the middle versus earlier on. The dry down does get muskier than BR. Less woods and the ambergris isn’t to the same quality. But, for $25 or so, this is solid. A Mix of PerfumesWild Rose from Coach– Wild Rose lacks the saffron and the fresh woody base of BR 540. But, you get ambroxan, moss, and jasmine in large amounts during the dry down that creates a very similar effect. For the opening, you get something that is closer to Burberry Her (but better) and Delina by Parfums de Marly. Red currant and bergamot give this Coach fragrance a fruitiness that BR doesn’t have, but which some people might prefer. Rose and a light tonka bean early gives it a soft Delina-like aroma. Ultimately, it dries down to a fruity version of Rouge. Sure, not laden with saffron, but the moss does a good job replicating the dryness of the wood. Wild Rose Review Inexpensive VS MistVictoria’s Secret Midnight Bloom Fragrance Mist 250ml/8.4 fl. oz.– Midnight Bloom is a body mist from Victoria’s Secret that sort of splits the line between Cloud and BR 540. Note upfront, that you’re definitely not going to get the depth with a body spray. It’s sweet and woody with a floral heart. Almost like a vanilla candy during the dry down period, as it were. The wood notes aren’t too prominent, either and it’s more of a generic white floral note, versus anything specific. Again, another cheapie option, in body spray form. To me it leans more Cloud than Baccarat Rouge, but that opening does have that same sort of character…just devoid of any saffron. Cloud ItselfAriana Grande Cloud Eau de Parfum Spray ,clear ,3.4 oz– Personally, I’m not that big on Cloud. I mean, it’s fine, but it kind of has to go on the list of scents similar to BR 540. This Ariana Grande scent, comes across as sweeter and targeted toward a young demographic than Rouge. While BR 540 leans feminine, it can be more of a unisex scent, but Cloud is pretty firmly in the ‘girly’ camp. That being said, for younger women (teens through twenties), this is another very affordable option that can mimic much of what you get with our target scent. Lavender, sweet sugary warmth, creamy coconut, and a musky base. The performance is actually very good, so, if you’re one who likes Cloud you’ll get your money’s worth. Cloud 2.0Ariana Grande Cloud 2.0 Intense Eau De Parfum Ulta Exclusive 3.4 Ounce– So, Cloud Intense is pretty similar to the original listed above. However, it is slightly better in my opinion. It has less of the pear note up top, but is smoother and joined by a rather nice use of ambroxan. It is more substantial than the more sheer original Cloud. Also, it’s middle act has a creamier aroma with the whipped cream, coconut, and other notes getting more time to shine. Overall, it’s not much more powerful than the original Cloud, but maybe an extra hour or so of wear. I’m adding this perfume to the list, because it is another option for those who like both BR540 and the Ariana Grande alternative. Cloud Intense Review Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum– If you want something that’s like the original, why not opt for its flanker perfume? Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait is the better fragrance, in my opinion. It lasts longer, has more power, and a bittersweet opening act with more saffron and an additional almond note. The performance with the original is great, but this one is insane on my skin. It isn’t a massive projecting perfume for the entirety of the wear, but it will stay on the skin for 14+ hours, to the point I’m not entirely sure when it fades. On a shirt, it just doesn’t seem to go away. Yes, this is a pricier fragrance. But, I might as well include it for those who want the better option and not just another inexpensive dupe attempt. Oh, here’s my comparison between: BR 540 vs. 540 Extrait The Fragrance Shop CloneRouge 540 Type for Women– I haven’t tested this one out as of yet. However, The Fragrance Shop usually does a pretty good job at matching much of the same essence as the perfumes they’re trying to recreate. I’ve tried a few of their men’s Chanel fragrance versions and they at least get the opening notes correct. The fragrances don’t generally have the same depth as the original and some of the base notes, really don’t come through in the perfume oil. I figured that I’d include this as another potential option, for those who want to give it a try. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc, or its affiliates. Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes. What does in the stars smell like Bath and Body Works?What it smells like: a sweet, sparkling wish upon a star in the middle of the forest clearing. Fragrance notes: starflower, sandalwood musk, sugared tangelo, white agarwood and radiant amber.
Is in the stars a dupe for cloud?Bath and Body Works In The Stars Eau de Parfum 1.7 Fluid Ounce New In Box– In the Stars is another one that is very close to being a full dupe of Cloud. Though, this Bath and Body Works fragrance is a bit lighter and for sure fruitier than our target.
Does Bath and Body Works rename scents?If you have been a fan of BBW for a while, you probably know they recycle/repackage their fragrances ALL THE TIME. They do this for both Body care & Home Fragrances. They change the name, and sometimes the scent NOTES themselves, and sell them as NEW.
Why does Bath and Body Works discontinue popular scents?Bath & Body Works frequently discontinues fragrances to make room for new products. Though customers may think their favorite scents are gone forever, many discontinued products are actually sold exclusively on the Bath & Body Works website.
