Rouge

Rouge goes straight for the signature that's made Baccarat Rouge 540 the most-copied release of the decade - a saffron and jasmine opening that quickly gives way to the glowing amberwood-ambergris heart everyone recognises from across a room. The cedarwood and fir resin base keeps it clean and radiant rather than heavy, echoing the original's famously minimal, almost synthetic-clean sweetness. Because Aromara builds this at 35% Extrait instead of the 20-30% most dupes use, the amberwood accord actually holds through a full evening instead of fading within the hour, which is where most Baccarat Rouge dupes fall down. It won't fool a nose that knows the original intimately at close range, but the room-filling sweetness that made this scent famous is very much intact.
