Ambroxan with a hint of red apple. If you love Bakkarat Rouge 540, you’ll surely enjoy this one. It has great projection and longevity, plus it’s much cheaper than the original.
The red bottle is simply gorgeous, like a sophisticated diamond. Not only is the packaging divine, but the scent is too. Experts compare it to the famous Baccarat Rouge 540; it’s not a copy, but Mauboussin is a warm, cosy fragrance that invites passion. On my skin, I detect juicy apple with peach, peony and rose. The dry-down is very woody, and luckily I don’t sense that cloying praline sweetness. I don’t like sweet, cloying perfumes, and this isn’t one. Longevity and projection are excellent. I wear it in winter, but I’d also use it in spring, summer or autumn. Updated my comment today, 6 July 2024: I now own Baccarat Rouge 540 and can confirm it does resemble it, especially in the dry-down.
It would be like the ODP of Nina Ricci Rouge, but sweeter, more intense and with more sillage; they follow the same path.
I bought it blind because I was recommended La Folie Rosé, and since this was cheap, I grabbed it. What does it remind me of? To my nose, it’s very similar to the red apple in Nina Ricci and Nina Rouge… I also bought those blind before. How do they differ? This one loses the freshness of Nina; it’s very sweet, whereas the other is more wearable. I’d define it in three notes: at first, I sense sweet red apple, then fresh, newly opened roses with something caramelised. In the dry-down, there are roses, apples and red fruits like strawberries, very sweet. It’s a sweet red scent, nothing citrusy. It’s not unbearable, but it’s worth noting it’s more of a winter fragrance. It’s nothing new, not a difficult perfume, I don’t detect strong woody notes or anything anyone who likes strawberry scents wouldn’t wear. How about longevity? I’m not entirely clear yet; when I use it more, I’ll come back to update.
