WOW you broke this down so eloquently & didn’t leave a SINGLE stone unturned regarding the comparison of Rogue and the Ruby edition. Funny enough, I tried getting the Ruby edition some months back (just because it was “newer”) and mistakenly purchased Rogue & I have zero regrets whatsoever especially after watching this video. Thank you Glam for always being honest. There’s a lot of other fragrance reviewers but no one does it like you ❤️.
i got this in today, i also had bought the real extrait as a gift for someone. i remembered the extrait being more feminine but i still liked it, but when i smelled ruby i thought it was fairly masculine. then i smelled the actual extrait and thought the same, more masculine then i remembered. to me the clone is dead on.
We picked up on the same differences! They are definitely different! I made the mistake of getting Ruby after hearing that it smells the exact same. Someone told me Ruby smelled like embalming fluid when I wore it 😂😩. That was not their reaction when I wore Rouge🫣.
Rouge Edition and Red Temptation from Zara are two of the best clone BR540 to me. I heard Franck Olivier Addiction did it better but I’ve never smelled that one.
Purchased the ruby a few days ago and it smells like rubber glove. I’m told it needs to macerate for at least 1 month and it will go away?Do you know anything about this? BTW I also have a sample 540 Extrait which I’m using to compare and I doesnt have that rubber note at all and it smells amazing. Did I spoil myself by wearing the real thing lol? Will the ruby eventually smell like this or do I need to just give in a purchase the real thing lol?
@@antari27Mine still smells about the same. I have sprayed it at least 20 times and let it sit. At this point I’ve written it off as a loss. I’ve come to the conclusion there is no substitute for the real thing.
Hello. Have you ever tried the Orientica Amber Rouge before? I want to hear your opinion of that one, compare to the Al Haramain Rouge or Rouge Ruby edition. Thank you.
I've got one last black Friday, blind buying followed glorifying reviews wanking over it, how great it is 😂. It's my second blind buy none of them impressed me at all. Ruby is okay, but absolutely No WoW factor! £100 for 100ml its the price mark we'd expect a bit more fun 🙄😁 Thanks for your honest review ❤👍🏻
I have rouge already and didn't see the point in getting this one as everyone said they are so close. Another weird choice they made is they have gold edition and a new gold edition extreme, which people are saying is very similar to gold. I have no idea why they would make super similar fragrances?
Everyone always tells me I smell amazing, like cotton candy, when I wear Rouge...which seems weird to me because I don't find it quite that sweet. I'll be so mad if they discontinue Rouge!
I think it’s ambroxin and not ambergris because real ambergris is super expensive and usually only in high end designer houses. Creed Erolfa is a good example of a super Ambergris forward fragrance.
@@GlamFinds Yeah I was thinking about getting it but I have the regular BR540 and the Armaf clone and I only use them for layering because to my nose it’s feminine. I layer it with Aventus or one of the four dupes I have of Aventus that are better than Aventus lol.
@@GlamFinds yeah it’s spot on in the air. If you smell your skin up close you can tell the difference. I just recently got Tomcat in from Alexandria fragrances, and it’s a great clone of YSL Babycat which is impossible to find, I bought a 15ml decant of it. Also Jean Lowe Immortal which is a great clone of Louis Vuitton L’Immensite, and Secret Lagoon by Oakcha, a beast mode 1:1 clone of weak ass new batches of Creed Virgin Island Water. All three of those combined were under $100, and I have decants of the real ones and they are either better or just as good. I would have never wasted money on BR540 if that Armaf clone dropped a few years ago before I bought BR540. Hey by the way MFK is raising their prices on August 1, so if you want on grab it soon. Thanks for responding you’re a great reviewer.
Thank you, Sarah. Great work as always! I'm 99% certain I'm not the kind of guy who can pull off the BR540 vibe... But DO know now that Ruby over Rouge is the one to go for if I get brave enough to give it a shot. 👍👍
i actually ordered this today, i usually wear literally 80s stuff half the time lol. but theres just something i dig about the br540 extrait and it gets a ton of attention. doesnt hurt to at least have one just for compliments in the collection haha. i also have a bottle of eau sauvage parfum coming 🤷♂
@@BeluArredondo no , it's called Untold . Reddish / yellow bottle. It's the hype now . Everybody swears by it. I guess it's for real though . I'm gonna find out in a few days .
I'm loving Prada sport with a spray of Cosmair Polo green. The compliments are strong with this combo. The way the polo brings out the juniper berries with that vanilla/tonka vibe smooths out the classic scent of original polo and is actually addictive. Watching your Perri ellis unpredictable extreme vid made me try the sport cuz I already loved Carbon. 😍
@@GlamFinds I Bought one off mercari. 5.1 oz 85% full that dates to the launch. For 85 bucks. Great price for it I thought and now I'm trying to find a 3.4 oz to actually use. 😆 I don't want to use the whole bottle on the 5.1 oz original batch.
Bought it, tried it. Smells exactly like BR 540 Extrait. 4 sprays and no joke: it lasted on my skin for 36 hours. I tried washing it off my wrists and even showered and it only went away when it decided to. It became cloying, really loud and a bit too much for my senses. It made me sad to return but I had to. I just couldn’t wear it. Btw, it also smells like Mancera Instant Crush
@@musicjunkie5501 This thing lasted 36 hours on my skin and lasted for days in my bedroom. It was projecting off my skin about maybe 12 hours (maybe more…I lost track) but it stayed on it for the whole 36. Maybe you went nose blind to it. I speak from my experience and it did what I said it did.
Happy new year 🥳🎉🎈. Also happy new year to your friends & family & 🐕 dog. May 2023 bring us (new & older) great new fragrances. Continue crushing it 🤘👌👍✌️💯😉.
I ended up purchasing a bottle of Armaf Untold and a bottle of Imperiale after watching your videos on those😂. Hoping Untold can be my new go to in place of Rouge🤞🏻
@tracisetter2164 I'm downsizing my collection drastically and Untold and what's left of Rouge are both keepers for me. Ruby is fine but it didn't make the cut.
I originally bought this in the 3.3 size for my someone in Colombia but it smelled so good that may have worn it more than she did ha ha. I got back home about three days and I found the 4.0 tester for $44 I grabbed. Now I am wondering do I still want the Armaf Untold when it gets back in stock. Any thoughts
@@GlamFinds what about untold or lataffa ana abiyedh rouge? you’re the only youtuber I’ve seen to review all of them and wanted to hear your opinion before buying.
Great comparison review. At least now I know which way I need to go for the purchase, with Ruby being cheaper, stronger and more masculine. Always appreciate glamfinds content! ✌🏾
I just got mines in thAT shit is AMAZING ida never thought id lOve b540 this blows my mind i cant stop smelling my arms it goes with my skin sO good i could bath in rhis shit bro matter of fact im bouta order that 6.8 oz for a backup cuz i done burnt my shit pass the 1st line right close to the top of the bottle im ashamed & a little bit disgusted that i used that much already .... 😒😆🔺️🔻🥰🤩
I’m trying to figure out if this is unisex and smells feminine enough? I’m a floral and fruity scent lover. I was wondering if it actually had any oud notes in it too?
Hello Sarah, how are you? Great job as usual. Blow the nose hairs out of their nose 🤣🤣🤣. I would love to see your review Armaf CDNIM UNTOLD. I want a new clone of BR 540. Stay safe sweetie BTW LAWD HAVE MERCY! YOU ARE SO PRETTY!
amber oud ruby so far far away from OG baccarat ext, I am very confused why Joy Amin and others at Fragrantica say they are similar, this is only 60-70% similar, the amber oud ruby smells not luxurious, it smells cheap. I didn't feel confident wearing it, I bought the 100ml version and gave it to a friend for free, better bussma by arabian oud so far2 away.
I love the rouge one (3 bottles) so I ordered the ruby when I found it. I thought it was the same but nope. The ruby is less sweet and the saffron is so strong on me. I feel sad cause i purchased two bottles ugh
Sarah, I’m going to Mexico next week. I’ve decided to take 4 scents. Let me know your thoughts. Aqua Di Parma Colonia, Bvlgari Aqua Atlantique, Bentley Azure, Ferrari Bright Neroli and possibly Armani Code Colonia ( one of my faves)
@Glam Finds I HAVE THEM BOTH AND RUBY CLEARLY HAS THE ALMOND NOTE AND ROUGE DOES NOT...I MEAN THE BOTH HAVE THE BR 540 DNA TO MY NOSE THERE'S A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE
Totally disagree. Blow ones nose bla bla bla. Maybe it's something in her skin, many are still gonna complain they don't get much out of two three sprays. I love it but need a good bunch post shower, and pick me ups. Nothing that potent about it

Thank you Glam for always being honest. There’s a lot of other fragrance reviewers but no one does it like you ❤️.
I truly appreciate that!
Hey Sarah, I was under the impression that Ruby was the extrait & Rouge was the og formula, that why Ruby had the bitter almond added to it!!
Hey Sarah what's your favorite fragrance?
They both clone Extrait but Rouge is a little smoother to me
Yes I have the Rouge, I was almost gonna pull the trigger on Ruby. I like the Rouge get a compliment on it!!
That’s exactly what I was told
i got this in today, i also had bought the real extrait as a gift for someone. i remembered the extrait being more feminine but i still liked it, but when i smelled ruby i thought it was fairly masculine. then i smelled the actual extrait and thought the same, more masculine then i remembered. to me the clone is dead on.
How is Ruby vs Armaf Untold? For man.

🤣🤣🤣
😅😅😅😅
Owch.
So happy I live where they're both 45 dollars 😊
Happy new year 🎉
I'm digging ruby little more.
Yeah i could totally see men preferring ruby honestly
The queen of fragrance reviews!🥰🙏
Rouge Edition and Red Temptation from Zara are two of the best clone BR540 to me. I heard Franck Olivier Addiction did it better but I’ve never smelled that one.
Would you not like rouge if you dislike Red Temptation but you love Maison Francis Kirkdjian Baccarat 540?
I'm so confused bc I remember so many channels saying the Ruby one WAS the extrait version. Maybe bc it was so strong like the extrait ?
Rouge and Ruby are the extrait, Rouge is just better honestly but discontinued (of course)
I buy last week but ruby is just not projecting and after 3 hours it’s gone and I was very excited so I bought 200ml
I love and your reviews the most. So glad I found u again
Thank you!
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day
Thanks Michael!
You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏

@Versaceboy54 Rouge is better imo but yes, Al Haramain needs to have the atomizer cleaned or to smell right. 10 sprays and let it sit.
hey, it's been about a month. I was wondering what your thoughts are on it now? is it something you'd recommend?
@@antari27Mine still smells about the same. I have sprayed it at least 20 times and let it sit.
At this point I’ve written it off as a loss. I’ve come to the conclusion there is no substitute for the real thing.
@@Versaceboy54it’s a mental thing or you could’ve gotten a bad batch. It’s a copy and paste. You might need the rouge version tho
Hello.
Have you ever tried the Orientica Amber Rouge before?
I want to hear your opinion of that one, compare to the Al Haramain Rouge or Rouge Ruby edition.
Thank you.
I haven't tried Orientica yet but I plan to hopefully soon
@@GlamFinds Will be waiting for your review.
@@Metha.K. It's really popular that whoever tried the orientica rouge is very impressed. I guess it's the amber oud rouge just repacked.
I've got one last black Friday, blind buying followed glorifying reviews wanking over it, how great it is 😂.

£100 for 100ml its the price mark we'd expect a bit more fun 🙄😁
Thanks for your honest review ❤👍🏻
I honestly prefer Rouge. To date, my favorite from the Amber Oud collection is Carbon.
am i the only person who got this and it smelled like pure alcohol?
It's loaded with ambroxan so I'm not surprised. Rouge was done better
I just got the rouge today and pure alcohol! It does calm down though. I was thinking maybe an old bottle since it was discontinued? Idk
@@kayleethebabedoes it still smell like it, and where did you purchase
It's doesn't smell like Baccarat
I hate you mcnasty 😡🤬😠
I have rouge already and didn't see the point in getting this one as everyone said they are so close. Another weird choice they made is they have gold edition and a new gold edition extreme, which people are saying is very similar to gold. I have no idea why they would make super similar fragrances?
Yeah especially when Gold did NOT need an extreme
Yea, you're accurate. This is fire 🔥 maceration process was 2 months for me. Last all day. 1 spray😂
I’m crying laughing at getting called out at work 😭😂😂😂 same, twin. same 😂
@OhSoLucius man it's rough out there lol
I really love this Ruby edition. Goes well with me.
I want to get both but I wonder if they are different enough ?
Yes but imo Rouge is the one to get if you can
Yr spot On...my FAVORITE IS "UNTOLD"
Absolutely same here!
Everyone always tells me I smell amazing, like cotton candy, when I wear Rouge...which seems weird to me because I don't find it quite that sweet. I'll be so mad if they discontinue Rouge!
I know you can still purchase Rouge, but I thought it had been discontinued?
I think it’s ambroxin and not ambergris because real ambergris is super expensive and usually only in high end designer houses. Creed Erolfa is a good example of a super Ambergris forward fragrance.
Right, real ambergris, but I'm talking about the ambergris note (it's a substitute but I don't think it's ambroxan, only because of how it comes off)
@@GlamFinds Yeah I was thinking about getting it but I have the regular BR540 and the Armaf clone and I only use them for layering because to my nose it’s feminine. I layer it with Aventus or one of the four dupes I have of Aventus that are better than Aventus lol.

Hey- you can pull anything off Russ! But... na, this doesn't strike me as your type lol

i had a 1oz bottle of the real deal br 540 ex i went through....but i cant bring myself to spend over 200 on it again lol
Can you make a playlist on your channel for women fragrances and men fragrances please would help alot looking for buying
I can do one for Men, women, and unisex. Give me a week and I'll try to get it done.
Now let’s see how this performs against the new Armaf 540 dupe. I have rouge and love it and my Armaf is on the way as well
Different scents but I'll bring it up when I shoot the review this weekend 😉
@@GlamFinds can you do a comparison vid as well?
What's the Armaf one? The white one?
@@BeluArredondo no , it's called Untold . Reddish / yellow bottle. It's the hype now . Everybody swears by it. I guess it's for real though . I'm gonna find out in a few days .
@@sanmarinojr Which is your favorite? I'm considering the Al Haramain or the Armaf
Good to know. I love Rouge and I’m holding on to it for dear life lol 😂. But Ruby might not be for me, I don’t like too much ambergris

Hey Sarah nice video !!, do you think tomas kosmala #4 is similar to this one ?
Haven't smelled it that I can remember... although I might have 😬
Is there a good dupe for Rouge now that it's $80 for a 2 oz bottle? I prefer the sweeter smell of Rouge over Ruby.
Rouge is honestly my favorite. I'm going to sell my Ruby.

Will Amber Oud Ruby still be available in like 2 years and will the price go up or down?
We won't know until it happens
I’m trying to figure out if this is unisex and smells feminine enough? I’m a floral and fruity scent lover. I was wondering if it actually had any oud notes in it too?
No oud, totally unisex, but I'd say Rouge is more femme then this
Do you go nose blind to either or both Amber Oud Rouge and Amber oud Ruby?
I mention that
@@GlamFinds yes sorry noticed it after I had my question typed out. Wanted to delete my comment but it was too late :) thanks for the review!

I’m going to buy rouge and ruby and I own mancera instant crush
Which of the 3 do you prefer the most?
Instant crush
As am waiting for Carbon Edition review
It's a great spring night, Fall/ winter cologne. Do not wear this to work. This is for going out to the club, Cigar lounge, Bar or a party.
Untold or instant crush?
Watch just 1 minute of my video on instant crush and you'll know the answer

Nice review
Pos close the background music
You so pretty 😍
Thank you!
Would this be more for a man then a woman?
Still unisex but I go into detail in the video
The ruby edition smells like pure alcohol according to my friend and family members
It's really easy to go noseblind to all of that ambroxan so I get that
My daughter hugged me and said did I just used alcohol and I said no I put on the Ruby edition only like 3 sprays, I felt awful
I'm known for smelling good
RUBY IS A CLONE OF BR 540 EXTRAIT AND ROUGE IS A CLONE OF BR 540
They're literally both cloning the extrait. They released Ruby after they discontinued Rouge.
@Glam Finds I HAVE THEM BOTH AND RUBY CLEARLY HAS THE ALMOND NOTE AND ROUGE DOES NOT...I MEAN THE BOTH HAVE THE BR 540 DNA TO MY NOSE THERE'S A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE
No
To be honest they don't smell anything like baccarat I actually own all of it no samples
This is the extrait
Ruby is waaayyy too synthetic. It’s like a watered down scent. Very disappointing
Yeah that's why I prefer Rouge, much less synthetic
❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Bought the ruby one hopefully I melt peoples noses off
Totally disagree. Blow ones nose bla bla bla. Maybe it's something in her skin, many are still gonna complain they don't get much out of two three sprays. I love it but need a good bunch post shower, and pick me ups. Nothing that potent about it
Ok
Untold or instant crush?
