Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Creative Eau de Parfum
This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it a delightful, budget-friendly dupe that needs to macerate to truly shine, others are left underwhelmed by its fleeting nature and ambiguous scent profile. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with performance being a common sticking point.
Statement
Our Verdict - Monte Carlo Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 (2015) - saffron, amberwood and fir resin translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its mild projection and soft character make it excellent for office and casual wear, where it won't overpower. The poor longevity reported by many users means it's generally unsuitable for formal events or sports where you need a lasting impression.
