Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, to say the least. While some find its woody amber profile intriguing, others are frankly repelled. Approach with caution, as this one is a love-it-or-hate-it affair where the haters are vocal.
This Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe is a proper nuclear bomb - either you'll absolutely love it or find it utterly revolting. It's not for the faint-hearted, so definitely try before you buy, unless you fancy risking a headache and the smell of 'crusty socks'.
