‘Excellent Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe,’ shopper says of a $29 perfume that smells like a luxe $325 buy with a cult fandom
MANY can’t splurge hundreds of dollars on high-end perfume like Baccarat Rouge 540, but now you don’t have to with a similar buy.
There’s a much cheaper dupe on the market that smells almost identical with a luxurious appeal.
Released in 2015, Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is popular among both men and women.
The unisex perfume “lays on the skin like an amber, floral, and woody breeze,” according to the description.
It’s a popular choice among many celebrities, including Olivia Rodrigo.
The singer revealed in a 2021 Vogue interview that it is her go-to fragrance.
“I like perfumes that have a natural musk,” she said.
Celebrities aren’t the only people raving about the high-end perfume.
If you search it on TikTok, it’s a hot topic among millions.
The “luxurious and sophisticated” beauty buy contains notes of jasmine, cedar wood, ambergris, and saffron, which is a selling point for many.
For a 2.4-ounce bottle, the retail price is $325, but not everyone can afford the cost of luxury.
Although it’s not a direct copy of the real thing, there is a cheaper alternative that comes close.
For less than $30 on Amazon, you can envelope yourself in comforting scents that rival the expensive brand.
The Tabbeau Cherry Saffron Eau De Parfum, $29, is also floral and fruity with musky undertones, which makes it a good gender-neutral choice.
According to the product description, it “explores the smell of ripened cherries with almonds notes combined.”
An Amazon shopper rated it five stars and called it an “excellent Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe.”
“So many dupes skimp on the saffron note, which I think is the mark of a good Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe,” they said.
“To me, it smells warm and clean, and it agrees so well with my sweat. This has that and the sweetness and I’m used to. Will keep an eye on this dupe house.”
A 10-millimeter travel-sized container of Cherry Saffron contains enough fragrance to last you a while.
Another buyer gushed about how “it stays fragrant all day” and they “absolutely love this fragrance.
“The Cherry Saffron is a high quality, unusually appealing, aromatic fragrance,” they said.
They added that they plan on making it their “signature parfum.”
The fragrance is handmade by a small business that is growing in popularity.
