I have never smelled/owned the original. I have only ever owned the extrait and DO NOT pick up any type of cotton candy nor sugary or gourmand type notes. What I Do get from the extrait is the EXACT SAME SCENT as the bath and body works In The Stars.... Does the original BR540 smell different than the extrait??

For the br540 consistent users: layer with br540 lotion, dossier, Burberry her, and oakcha to stretch your BR!!! I usually Start off with a lotion, then dossier or oakcha dupe, put a bit of Burberry her roller on my clothes, then finish with br540 on my neck and wrists.

Me too, but it’s probably because baccarat rouge is not a gourmand at all. It’s just a nice airy fresh woody, but yet sweet fragrance with a mysterious vibe to it. If you look at the notes there is really no gourmand note, the sweetness of baccarat rouge comes mainly from the saffron flower

I read on a fragrantica comment that too much of the ambroxian that’s in BR540 will overload your scent receptors and make you anosmic (nose blind) to it. They suggested to TAKE A BREAK from wearing the scent (like a month), and when you go back to it, spray less so it doesn’t overload your scent receptors
@rycherrya5035

But yeah, it’s not just you. The first time I “smelled” it, my cousin put her wrist right up to my nose and I couldn’t even smell anything. There are two types of fragheads: A. Those who wear perfume for others (don’t mind going nose blind as long as others think they smell good) B. Those who wear perfume for themselves (loves to keep smelling their own perfume throughout the day) BR540 is not for group B!!

I really love it on its own, but honestly, I find it too common because of all the replicas. What I do now is add a spray in a Strawberry Pound Cake by Bath and Body and that works perfectly for me and my body chemistry. It keeps the sweetness of the Sugar from BR540 + the sweetness of the B&BW but the dry down of saffron and ambergris is still awesome❤️. PS, longevity: extreme. I can still smell BR540 on my clothes the next day. I tried doing Tom Ford: Lost Cherry with it but 540 killed the cherry. 🙊 Just didn't work for me.

Still overrated
“Uniqueness is taken away” perfectly said..
The funny thing is that I HATE sweet gourmand scents but I love BR540. The saffron and that plasticky note are addictive af. Reminds me of opening a fresh plastic toy as a child.

Me too, but it’s probably because baccarat rouge is not a gourmand at all. It’s just a nice airy fresh woody, but yet sweet fragrance with a mysterious vibe to it. If you look at the notes there is really no gourmand note, the sweetness of baccarat rouge comes mainly from the saffron flower
Absolutely true..its a friggin MASTERPIECE in every way!
I love this scent so much but the price is craygee!! I just can’t bring myself to buy it in this economy. I need the money to buy eggs and gf bread which are now luxury items 🤣

For a total of $27, I ordered samples from the Francis Kurkdjian site.
The extrait version smells different on everyone. That’s the beauty of it. Replicas are not gonna smell the same.
Both this and extrait are worth all other fragrances in my collection and their weight in gold.
Haven’t smelled the extrait but the original is simple and simply niiiiiiiice
For Guys, Layer BR540 with Afnan 9PM. Job Done. You can also get BR540 Clone from Fragrance World for £15 in the UK
I like the extrait a little more than the original. Definitely agree, the uniqueness has been taken away.
Get the extrait I purchased the 6.8 oz and cause I’m in love with the scent.

People will hate on a fragrance because they can’t afford it or consider it too expensive. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s overrated. I agree with your point too that there are cheaper fragrances that give you the same or similar smell

I went to get a facial once and I recognized the scent on the girl as Cloud by Ariana Grande so I asked her if that’s what she was wearing. She said no, she was wearing BR540 and she wasn’t aware Cloud was so similar and she couldn’t believe she spent all that money on something that is no longer unique.

It’s worth the money, but it’s something I wouldn’t wear casually- for those special occasions. For casual wear, I go with Hugo Boss, or Nicole Miller.. a little less than casual, but more than special occasions, I have Givenchy.
Not worth the money both...one smells like medicine and the other makes me stink reminded me of that nursing home odor.

Nope I went to Nieman’s and smelled the original, and the next one in the red bottle. I wasn’t impressed.

I read on a fragrantica comment that too much of the ambroxian that’s in BR540 will overload your scent receptors and make you anosmic (nose blind) to it. They suggested to TAKE A BREAK from wearing the scent (like a month), and when you go back to it, spray less so it doesn’t overload your scent receptors

But yeah, it’s not just you. The first time I “smelled” it, my cousin put her wrist right up to my nose and I couldn’t even smell anything. There are two types of fragheads: A. Those who wear perfume for others (don’t mind going nose blind as long as others think they smell good) B. Those who wear perfume for themselves (loves to keep smelling their own perfume throughout the day) BR540 is not for group B!!

I love extrait. I'd got a sample of extrait. Basically, used the whole 5ml and it was long lasting. I didnt put any on the next day because i figured it still smells. I was right, my uncle came to the post office while i was working for my boss. He said, "juh, i like your pimp juice. It made the whole post office smell good. That's good pimp juice." 😂

I love perfume and this is one of the most horrific scents I've ever smelled. I don't get even a hint of sweetness. Just bug spray, or dentist office meets cheap disinfectant.
The unisex or female version of Creed Aventus for men. The hype is on that level. I won't be surprised if MFK has a anniversary edition of Baccarat Rouge 540 in the future just like Creed Aventus.

I really love it on its own, but honestly, I find it too common because of all the replicas. What I do now is add a spray in a Strawberry Pound Cake by Bath and Body and that works perfectly for me and my body chemistry. It keeps the sweetness of the Sugar from BR540 + the sweetness of the B&BW but the dry down of saffron and ambergris is still awesome❤️. PS, longevity: extreme. I can still smell BR540 on my clothes the next day. I tried doing Tom Ford: Lost Cherry with it but 540 killed the cherry. 🙊 Just didn't work for me.
