In my opinion it’s cheaper to buy the OG instead of chasing for it. I love it for what it is. One of my favorites. You are right, EDP is longer lasting.
Just saw your video and I loved it, but my question to you is I have the al haramain oud rouge but I would like to pull the trigger on the dozzier version or luxodor what do you think?
Loved all the info, as I am obsessed w/BR540! The closest dupes IMO are Al Harr- Amber Oud Rouge,& Frederica Mahora-PureRoyal 910.. nothing compares to the OG’s tho! I just got the Ana Abiyedh-Rouge, & it’s a spot on dupe- but it’s a bit sharp,& masculine leaning, compared to the airy,& unisex original.
You're right, arianna grande cloud has moderate lasting power and silliage so it doesn't hold a candle to br540. But as a scent by itself it is a great crowd pleaser and so yummy. Will probably use as a spray for errands and quick visits. I bought amber oud a while ago for better performance, can't wait to compare the two. Thanks for the video!
Great list, my Wife has the EDP whereas I own the Extrait!! I bought her the Al Haramain’s Amber Oud Rouge and she burned through that thing in less than 6 months!! I have Instant Crush and Sensual Instinct which is its own animal in my humble opinion!!
Thank you so much for this video!! I really appreciate it and love hearing of dupes. Anything to save me money considering I buy several perfumes every month.
Lol 😂 that’s a funny title Greta “BR and 15 sisters” 👍 I’ve tried Cloud, Instant crash & whispers of truth, but I just stay with the original 😊 Anyways, you look beautiful in red !! ☺️
Great video! You are so pretty!! 😭🥰 So I didn’t have any way to smell BR 540 so my first “dupe” I tried was Cloud because everyone was talking about it. I really loved it! I thought if BR is even better it’s got to be the best scent in the world! So I got the fragrance oil and I ordered samples from the MFK website. Unfortunately I cannot smell it! It smells kind of dirty and disappears on me instantly. I kind of smell the sweetness at first so that’s where I’m assuming the cloud comparison comes in. It bums me out sooo bad I can’t smell it!
Try it again. That happens to me at times with fragrances I’ve worn a ton. I’m no sure why. Perhaps a bad combination with something else on my skin. 😘
Very cute top! Love the collar! And the color! And your lip color!! You are quite beautiful! Excellent review and info and I always enjoy your thoughts!! 🙏🏻❤️💕🌹
i owned Cloud and Burberry Her... not really dupes, but they give off the same feel in the drydown... but not close.... before i even started collecting perfumes, i have already been obsessed with In the Stars.... so no wonder i am so inlove with that kind of scent profile... the two that are so similar are Amber Oud Rouge and Ajmal Aristocrat :) i also don't get why people hate on Dossier and other "clone" houses, then they are okay with perfumes that are also clones/dupes but aren´t advertised as such.....
Great video Greta and great job in compiling such a comprehensive list 👌👌. I have Tinhare by Le Couvent De Minimes and it's good but lacks staying power.
This was a helpful video I shared it with my cousin, she lives in nyc and just bought BR540 and recently asked me what are good alternatives to it so she doesn’t have to wear the real thing every day to save it for occasional wear and I had no idea lol so this was the perfect video to send
So excited for this! I got samples of BR540 EDP and Extrait and they are so addicting but I don't know, I don't think they are worth the price. Well I'm trying to find a dupe hopefully. I dont like the strawberry scent in Burberry Her and the lactonic smell of Cloud. I Love In the Stars (lotion). Let me continue watching your video. I am def excited to try out 1 or 2 of your suggestions. Thanks! **I think I'll test out Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge.
OMG so many dupes. I have tried only 3 of them , the similarities are definitely there, although those have subtle differences 🙂 Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
I just bought a bottle of Mizenser For Your Love, if you haven’t tried it you should! To me it is a better version of br540 but with a bit of raspberry in there as well. Great stuff. I decluttered cloud a long time ago when I got br540 and then I decluttered it then got sensual instinct then decluttered it LOL and now I have For Your Love. I don’t like to have many of this particular type of scent profile because I get bored of it easily or rather it just looses its luster so I keep decluttering to find the perfect one or two and that keeps changing for me apparently 😂
I love these scent profiles! Im just scared to try the actual BR 540 because chances are im gunna love it. I just picked up instant crush and rouge smoking and love them! Cloud reminds me of that sterile metallic operating room smell. I will say instant crush smells like greenwich village to me. I did a side by side comparison and theyre definitely similar!
Thank you Greta, i love hearing your view about various notes. I own MFK the Eau de Parfum and before then i sampled different dupes and i must say the best of then is AURORA from Julianas perfume. oh my! its beautiful and veryyy close to Bacarrat, i tell you! i smell it on my clothes 2 days after! if i didn't really want the MFK honestly i would not bother cos its the best dupe i have seen.
Great video - as always, top notch! Question - do you prefer Bond 9 Tribeca or HOS Whispers of Truth (not as a unintentional dupe in comparison to BR540, but just pound for pound as their own fragrance)?
here because of Archie Luxury ... love to see you on one of his daily streams, keep the good work up, and would like to see some men's fragrance content.
Another Great video Greta 💜 have you tried the other 2 that you spoke about at the end ? I’m interested in your opinion if they are better then the al haramain
I have "aurora" the dupe from Juliana's perfumes and the oil roll on version dupe from Generic Perfumes and I love them both! PS: Just now realized you live in "America's finest" (SD). Used to live there years ago, amazing city. Miss those SD "winters." Really enjoying your content.
Tiziana terenzi spirito fiorentino not a dupe but has some of that vibe with a strong leather note. It's beautiful though! Best clone or dupe I have found is the parfumes vintage sunset in heaven. It's so close to the original BR540 edp. Just slightly less sweet and has a mild orange top note, I find it more wearable in the warm weathe and I go less nose blind to it, but 95%-98% the same. I was extremely impressed!!!
That’s sounds like a slightly better version 😃🙌🏻 I find SF masculine leaning with the way the leather presents itself on my skin. I see why you like that option 👌🏻
@@GretaBeth definitely find spirito fiorentino masculine and only wearable in the really cold weather. It definitely is a far cry from br540, in my opinion. But so many people say it's like br540.
I didn’t realise that there were so many BR540 dupes out there💨💨💨. The most popular one here🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦is Barrakat, I swear everyone has it. I have Cloud and I don’t think it’s a dupe at all🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️. I like the unintended dupes, very clever of you to put it like that🤩🤩🤩👌👌👌. I’m planning to buy BR540 some time next year but I will start with the Body Oil. Great comparisons🙏🙏🙏. Stay fabulous😘😘😘.
I tried Ajmal Aristocrat last week, and it definitely was a dupe for 540 I love BR540, it’s my first love and a modern icon. I just have been keeping her on the back burner for a while now due to her popularity😉
I have sensual instinct and instant crush, the best by far is dua casino Royal nights (extrait) oud pour noble by khadlaj and beast performer more than bk540 but has a citrus opening is thomas kosmala apres l'amour no 4.
Hmm, when you said vibrant pineapple, I was just thinking that maybe I should mix my Lamar with BR540 to kill that drydown I don't like in Lamar. Worth a shot!
I’m not sure if Zara releases these in the US but they currently have a perfume called “red temptation”. It’s a spot on dupe for the extrait version and costs 15,95€ for 80ml. A dupe company that I find also does a great one is Divain. I own their extrait version and it’s very similar! And lastly I have a small bottle of Tinharé by les couvent des minimes (nog as cheap though). Great dupe for the edp! (Bit sweeter than the others).
I found a sample of Ajmal Aristocrat 🤩 yesterday and love it 👍 It's a dupe to Amber Fever from Mancera 🥰 but more refined, not that powerful, more elegant.😊
Can you do orientica amber rouge video pls ? And guve in depth review ? Many thanks 🙏 also can you pls mention if it’s the kind of perfume that one can smell on herself or is just the kind only others can and it goes no blind on you ? Many thanks as I like to smell my perfumes also can you mention if the perfume comes and goes ? Thanks 😊
I don't have any of the Orientica perfume. I do know they are owned by Swiss Arabian, the dupe house in UAE. I do mention in my reviews if fragrance goes anosmic to the wearer. Usually high quality naturals do that, which Orientica definitely is not. I hope that helps.
I just decluttered BR540 Extrait. Theres so many incredible dupes out there so there's no point in spending $435 on a 50ml bottle, IMO. I own Cloud and Amber Oud Rouge as well as Aurora from Julianna's Perfumes. I really enjoy mixing Cloud and Amber Oud Rogue. But Julianna's Perfumes dupe for BR540 is terrible. It has a minty quality to it that is not anywhere in BR540. Really disappointed in that one but I would say it is 75% the same. To me, that's not enough to be a true dupe but when I would get whiffs of it in the air, it smelled very similar. Smelling my wrist was where I got the main difference.
In my opinion, the best "dupe" for Baccarat rouge 540 edp is Manege Rouge by Al Haramain. It's a gorgeous scent on its own, but to be honest it's very very veryyyyyy similar to br 540 (99% close to the original imo).
Great recommendations Greta. For me, if I sniff the original, I won’t get any satisfaction from a dupe, it’s just psychological for me. I do think that Ariana Cloud does come super close to MFK 540, and also Whispers of Truth, while Rouge Malachite comes super to close to the original Alien.
I wouldn't call tribeca even remotely similar to br540. Tribeca smells like synthetic pineapple. Br540 is just way super sweet sugar. I love the extrait, hate the EDP. The extrait has the burnt sugar smell but it's not as sickly sweet. I ordered the al harmain dupe so. Looking forward to that. Sensual instinct isn't a dupe either, it's just a fake rose way sweet perfume. But generally I don't like Montale or mancera because they smell very synthetic.
Oh god. I have to watch you ASSIDUOUSLY from now on to show some support here and to 'apologize' for Cabramatta car salesmen... LOL This is how 'it always begins' with them: 'I gotta be honest with ya...' (You did a great job jousting with the ridiculous, if also slightly incomparable 'AL III' there, Greta Beth, on 'Mr S.'s' livestream). ...Was a 'living, dynamic, real (as real as things ought to ever get without having to call the fire trucks or the cops - or an exorcist priest or a nun or something)' video discussion there. And hell, just when we all thought the days of 'typical male behavior' was a thing of the past too. You did a great job 'meeting the challenge.'
😂😂😂😂Thank you John! I always enjoy your comments. I had a lot of fun on Mr S’s live stream. Laughter is good for the soul 😄 Bantering with Archie is entertaining (even though he thinks I’m super expensive but worthy of a $15 perfume 😂🤣). I’m glad you found it entertaining as well.
@@GretaBeth Take his compliments, and keep him strictly in the 'friends(!) zone.' Maybe even, just the on-line friends zone at that!! LOL. ...I HAVE to push this out there to teach Archie a big lesson (which will be totally AND DELIBERATELY lost on him) - the hottest guy in Oz right now is Adam Goodes. And he's the most intellectual as well (apart from moi... small 'lolz' there).
Cloud is a sweeter more tropical version of BR540 but they smell very very similar to my nose. BR540 is more spicy. People get them confused all the time when they smell them. Burberry Her is absolutely not a dupe of BR540, IMO. It smells NOTHING like it!!
I don't know what's wrong with me but I just can't buy a dupe (non an unintentional dupe). I know that it is probably a waste of money to always buy the original, but I feel like I can't be logical and accept that a dupe might contain the same quality of ingredients as the original. By the way, this is no slight at you. You have the best of the best of the best. Buying 9 or 10 top end Rojas at once direct from the brand is something that I have never seen another perfume enthusiast do on TH-cam. That's one of the reasons that I liked you right away. You are a true connoisseur and you are not in it to pinch pennies (smart shopping--YES!). But you are not skirting around the subject just reviewing samples and decants as a lot of TH-camrs do
Thank you Sarah! Yes I like owning the originals as well. But I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the abundance of dupes out there, and whether they even are a dupe or not. 💗😘☀️
@@GretaBeth for sure. And you are seeking to educate people who are hungry for this knowledge. That is one of your specializations--providing product knowledge that no other TH-cam fragrance experts are able to provide because they do not actually have the products, don't know where to get them, or want to have a channel without investing enough to acquire the physical product to be able to provide content that subscribers can't come to their own conclusions about. People are resourceful and can easily do their own research. They aren't going to watch videos of information that they could do a better job of themselves. I have often thought that my ideas and knowledge are better than what some TH-camrs offer. Certain TH-camrs are enjoying the luxury of a subscriber base accumulated on account of the fact that they were quick at the draw to start their channel three years ago. They have a cool set-up and intro, but not much more. Content creators such as yourself will pass these established names when they choose to rest on their base and lose perspective on the importance of providing insights.
@@GretaBeth you are super. I think you are a treasure for all the perfume lovers out there. On appearance, you are gorgeous and refined with a bright beauty from inside that dazzles when you speak. You are both feminine and strong. As an aside, I like that you are kind in the way that you have your Mom and your dogs live in all of the space they want to move in within your home. But irrespective of those things, at the core of what you present to the world on your channel, you are advanced on the subject of fragrance compositon and comprehension, coupled with possessing a natural nose/palate to interpret and translate scent nuances and communicate that information to people effectively. We get access to your acumen for free. Pretty great deal for us. I appreciate your work very much and look forward to enjoying what you decide to show us in the next video. I hope that you are finding that creating on your channel is worth it. I know that it is a lot of work and surely takes many hours of your time each week. So thank you!⚘📚💡👏
Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge SKIP IT ...I have an old bottle which was an EXACT CLONE from top to base 95 % or better ...then now it is REFORMULATED no burnt sugar saffron but mostly alcohol and a wiff of jasmine very very disappointing..Gyrfalcon is overpriced for what it is ..it 22 dollars overseas ..here it is 70 and is not even on par with AG Cloud which begrudgingly is the best in my opinion
Wow, you must have had a bad fake. Amber Oud Rouge definitely has the burnt sugar smell. Also, Gyrfalcon was only $21 for me. I don’t know where you bought yours.
@@GretaBeth AOR 4 bottles from two diff vendors reputable dealers returned first two without a problem..as for Gyrfalcon Theoudstore they are the only authorized seller per their website
@@GretaBeth yep same one...anyway enjoyed your thorough video a lot..my aim was to let people know you may show something but it may not be the same thing you reviewed thru no fault of yours..as i said the AOR of old is nearly indistinguishable
Thanks lady! There are a lot of dupes for BR 540 it’s hard to choose but you have given me the best ones to try. You deserve a lot more likes.
I’m so glad it helped!
In my opinion it’s cheaper to buy the OG instead of chasing for it. I love it for what it is. One of my favorites. You are right, EDP is longer lasting.
Definitely a lot of new ones that I’ve never heard of as a dub for baccarat, Great video love 🥰
Thank you sweetie!
Just saw your video and I loved it, but my question to you is I have the al haramain oud rouge but I would like to pull the trigger on the dozzier version or luxodor what do you think?
Rouge Malachite reminds me of a more refined Alien by Mugler.
Yeah I don’t get the BR540 reference
Loved all the info, as I am obsessed w/BR540! The closest dupes IMO are Al Harr- Amber Oud Rouge,& Frederica Mahora-PureRoyal 910.. nothing compares to the OG’s tho! I just got the Ana Abiyedh-Rouge, & it’s a spot on dupe- but it’s a bit sharp,& masculine leaning, compared to the airy,& unisex original.
First comment from your biggest fan ever ! DAMN,SPEECHLESS.You look absolutely stunning 😍 Lots of love and support from San Francisco.
Thank you Ayush!! I appreciate it!
You're right, arianna grande cloud has moderate lasting power and silliage so it doesn't hold a candle to br540. But as a scent by itself it is a great crowd pleaser and so yummy. Will probably use as a spray for errands and quick visits. I bought amber oud a while ago for better performance, can't wait to compare the two. Thanks for the video!
Rouge amber oud is great!
I honestly think that BR540 will stand the test of time like Chanel No. 5 💕💕💕
100 years as the best seller is big shoes to fill. BR540 has only been out for six years, so far. I agree it will be a long run though ❤️
Oooh this looks like a good one! Don't think I've seen this one so watching now!❤
Great list, my Wife has the EDP whereas I own the Extrait!! I bought her the Al Haramain’s Amber Oud Rouge and she burned through that thing in less than 6 months!! I have Instant Crush and Sensual Instinct which is its own animal in my humble opinion!!
Great collection! ❤️🙌🏻
Thank you so much for this video!! I really appreciate it and love hearing of dupes. Anything to save me money considering I buy several perfumes every month.
Amen! 😘💕
Lol 😂 that’s a funny title Greta “BR and 15 sisters” 👍 I’ve tried Cloud, Instant crash & whispers of truth, but I just stay with the original 😊
Anyways, you look beautiful in red !! ☺️
🤷♀️I own the OG EDP and X as well! Nothing wrong with that 😀 they are all good 😌
I’m so glad you’re doing this! Baccarat 540 is literally in my cart. I just haven’t pulled that trigger 😅
There are so many great options these days!
A modern classic which I actually really like despite it not being my normal thing. Thanks for a beautifully presented overview Greta.
Thank you, Dan. I’m surprised! You usually go for more vintage classics and fougeres.
What about Afnan Club de Nuit Untold for BR540 ? Even Orientica Amber Rouge is a good dupe

I know a bunch of fragranceheads, who areanosmic to Baccarat. They CANT smell it at all. This is weird. They CAN smell the Baccarat extrait though
Crazy!
@@sidselalbertsen898 that'll be the ambroxan 😕
Hello Greta Happy Saturday Thank You For Sharing This Video With All of Us. Stay Safe
You too!
I think Banana Republic Rosewood Amor is a good dupe. I've seen it in my local TJ Maxx for around $20.
I hadn't heard that. Good to know! ❤️

I have Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Rouge - is very similar to Baccarat Rouge!
I will need to try it. I’m sure it’s at the middle eastern shop down here.
@@GretaBeth Ana abyideh rouge is addictive, very beautiful. Please update if you tried it
i owned Cloud and Burberry Her... not really dupes, but they give off the same feel in the drydown... but not close....

Thank you, Paola!! 🙌🏻💗💕 Yes!
I hear Cloud gives off a BR540 vibe sillage on some people, but I’ve never personally smelled that similarity on anyone.
I love Sensual Instinct! Can’t wait to start wearing it again in cooler weather! Great lineup! ❤️😍🥰
I’m sure there are lots more 😂
Great video Greta and great job in compiling such a comprehensive list 👌👌. I have Tinhare by Le Couvent De Minimes and it's good but lacks staying power.
Thank you Kathy!
Awesome review Greta!! I’m wearing GryFalcon and loving it! Now I wanna grab the body lotion from Bath & Body! Thank you for sharing ♥️♥️♥️

Great video - as always, top notch! Question - do you prefer Bond 9 Tribeca or HOS Whispers of Truth (not as a unintentional dupe in comparison to BR540, but just pound for pound as their own fragrance)?
That’s a great question, as they do share a lot of similarities. I’d have to say HOS, because I love their dna and it just feels more luxe.

What do you think of Ariana Grandes Cloud 2.0 as a dupe? I think it's a little closer maybe??
Another Great video Greta 💜 have you tried the other 2 that you spoke about at the end ? I’m interested in your opinion if they are better then the al haramain
I haven’t! I tend to find middle eastern dupes a bit sharp for my nose. But many many people love them 😀

Bond No. 9 Greenwich Village is a BR540 "sister/dupe". Have you smelled it before? Great video.
Yes I’ve heard that! I haven’t tried it yet. Thank you for mentioning.
@@GretaBeth I have a sample of it if you ever feel the need for yet another BR540 sibling. I hope the LHV sample arrived safely.
I just got it! Yes!! I will put it in an upcoming video 😃
I could seriously do a whole series on all her sisters 😂🤣 Should I keep going? Why not?
@@GretaBeth Instant Crush and Greenwich are my favorite sisters. I might like Instant better than BR540
Forget about saving money ! Do you want a better version of the extrait BR 540 ? I use Anfas Isqh.
One more question please, how do you maserate a fragrance correctly if you can explain
Great question I am often asked. I will go over this in a future video.
I didn’t realise that there were so many BR540 dupes out there💨💨💨. The most popular one here🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦is Barrakat, I swear everyone has it. I have Cloud and I don’t think it’s a dupe at all🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️.

Hey boo! You look stunning! 😍❤️
Hey Darlin! 😘💕
I tried Ajmal Aristocrat last week, and it definitely was a dupe for 540
I love BR540, it’s my first love and a modern icon. I just have been keeping her on the back burner for a while now due to her popularity😉
Hey Kelly! Modern Icon is accurate!
So I’ve smelled so many dupes, to me the best BR540 edp dupe is Afnan Violet Bouquet hands down. The best extrait dupe is Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge
Came here for the review
Stayed for the 2020s Stifler's Mom
Oakcha is another house that has excellent dupes of BR540
I burst out laughing!! 😂🤣 You get the comment 🏆
Yea I'm with you 100%, ariana grande cloud does not smell anything like BR540....I love AG Cloud btw, but it's not 540 at all
Will you review royal crown sultan ?
I'm not the biggest fan of it, so not likely
@@GretaBeth thank you so much for the reply ❤️
Love you
You look great in red! 🥰
Thank you so much Gorgeous!
Great topic
Thank you! There’s certainly no shortage of material for this one 😆
I have sensual instinct and instant crush, the best by far is dua casino Royal nights (extrait) oud pour noble by khadlaj and beast performer more than bk540 but has a citrus opening is thomas kosmala apres l'amour no 4.
I don’t know the Khadijah. I need to try the Casino Royale.
@@GretaBeth they do a dark casino royale nights with all notes amplified too ie the almond in the extrait 🤗x
Ooh I think I like the extrait just the way it is. I don’t like almond too amplified. But I do need to try their version.
@@GretaBeth i think troy247mall and cubaknow do a comparison 😉
Greta when you say you have that blend of Aventus and BR540, is it Aventus for Her or the original Aventus marketed to men?
The men’s OG Aventus. It adds a vibrant pineapple citrus opening.
@@GretaBeth thank you
Hmm, when you said vibrant pineapple, I was just thinking that maybe I should mix my Lamar with BR540 to kill that drydown I don't like in Lamar. Worth a shot!
Lattafa Ana abyad Rouge is good dupe but the longivity is not good, but try zara red Temptation is a spot on dupe with a good longivity
I have never tried any Zara. Crazy, I know.
@@GretaBeth I only tried them this year and some are really good
I’m not sure if Zara releases these in the US but they currently have a perfume called “red temptation”. It’s a spot on dupe for the extrait version and costs 15,95€ for 80ml.

If only someone could find a good dupe/ inspired by for Soliel Blanc ??
Dossier has one! Code GRETA10 gives you another 10% off too 😘
I found a sample of Ajmal Aristocrat 🤩 yesterday and love it 👍 It's a dupe to Amber Fever from Mancera 🥰 but more refined, not that powerful, more elegant.😊
The purple Aristocrat For Her, is the BR540 dupe. There are two.
Can you do orientica amber rouge video pls ? And guve in depth review ? Many thanks 🙏 also can you pls mention if it’s the kind of perfume that one can smell on herself or is just the kind only others can and it goes no blind on you ? Many thanks as I like to smell my perfumes also can you mention if the perfume comes and goes ? Thanks 😊
I don't have any of the Orientica perfume. I do know they are owned by Swiss Arabian, the dupe house in UAE.
I do mention in my reviews if fragrance goes anosmic to the wearer. Usually high quality naturals do that, which Orientica definitely is not. I hope that helps.
@@GretaBeth thank you so much 😊
I just decluttered BR540 Extrait. Theres so many incredible dupes out there so there's no point in spending $435 on a 50ml bottle, IMO. I own Cloud and Amber Oud Rouge as well as Aurora from Julianna's Perfumes.
I really enjoy mixing Cloud and Amber Oud Rogue. But Julianna's Perfumes dupe for BR540 is terrible. It has a minty quality to it that is not anywhere in BR540. Really disappointed in that one but I would say it is 75% the same. To me, that's not enough to be a true dupe but when I would get whiffs of it in the air, it smelled very similar. Smelling my wrist was where I got the main difference.
So true
In my opinion, the best "dupe" for Baccarat rouge 540 edp is Manege Rouge by Al Haramain. It's a gorgeous scent on its own, but to be honest it's very very veryyyyyy similar to br 540 (99% close to the original imo).
Al Haramain is a great dupe house!
Great recommendations Greta. For me, if I sniff the original, I won’t get any satisfaction from a dupe, it’s just psychological for me. I do think that Ariana Cloud does come super close to MFK 540, and also Whispers of Truth, while Rouge Malachite comes super to close to the original Alien.
There is nothing wrong with that! I own both originals too. Many people like to know viable options.
@@GretaBeth absolutely. 😊. I own a couple dupes and it's just interesting how I still desire the originals 😂.
clueless how cloud compares
I wouldn't call tribeca even remotely similar to br540. Tribeca smells like synthetic pineapple. Br540 is just way super sweet sugar. I love the extrait, hate the EDP. The extrait has the burnt sugar smell but it's not as sickly sweet. I ordered the al harmain dupe so. Looking forward to that. Sensual instinct isn't a dupe either, it's just a fake rose way sweet perfume. But generally I don't like Montale or mancera because they smell very synthetic.
Can’t argue with any of this! 😃💙☀️
I do believe Bond #9 Tribeca does have similarities too Baccarat Rogue
Oh god. I have to watch you ASSIDUOUSLY from now on to show some support here and to 'apologize' for Cabramatta car salesmen... LOL This is how 'it always begins' with them: 'I gotta be honest with ya...' (You did a great job jousting with the ridiculous, if also slightly incomparable 'AL III' there, Greta Beth, on 'Mr S.'s' livestream). ...Was a 'living, dynamic, real (as real as things ought to ever get without having to call the fire trucks or the cops - or an exorcist priest or a nun or something)' video discussion there. And hell, just when we all thought the days of 'typical male behavior' was a thing of the past too. You did a great job 'meeting the challenge.'
😂😂😂😂Thank you John! I always enjoy your comments. I had a lot of fun on Mr S’s live stream. Laughter is good for the soul 😄 Bantering with Archie is entertaining (even though he thinks I’m super expensive but worthy of a $15 perfume 😂🤣). I’m glad you found it entertaining as well.
@@GretaBeth But... ...it WAS the only one of his '$15 perfumes' that he had left. LOLOL.
Probably not the best choice if hypothetically his objective is to get laid, though 😂🤣😂🤣
@@GretaBeth Take his compliments, and keep him strictly in the 'friends(!) zone.' Maybe even, just the on-line friends zone at that!! LOL. ...I HAVE to push this out there to teach Archie a big lesson (which will be totally AND DELIBERATELY lost on him) - the hottest guy in Oz right now is Adam Goodes. And he's the most intellectual as well (apart from moi... small 'lolz' there).
You look fantastic in red! 👌😎💃
Thank you Monica! 😘❤️
I like the title of your video
(15 sisters and counting)…!!!! 😂😂
Right?! 😂😂
I just think there is no dupe for baccarat Rouge 540 personal opinion
Cloud is a sweeter more tropical version of BR540 but they smell very very similar to my nose. BR540 is more spicy. People get them confused all the time when they smell them.
Burberry Her is absolutely not a dupe of BR540, IMO. It smells NOTHING like it!!
I've gotten a lot of feedback that some people get a BR540 sillage from Cloud. but yes, more tropical for sure!
I don't know what's wrong with me but I just can't buy a dupe (non an unintentional dupe). I know that it is probably a waste of money to always buy the original, but I feel like I can't be logical and accept that a dupe might contain the same quality of ingredients as the original. By the way, this is no slight at you. You have the best of the best of the best. Buying 9 or 10 top end Rojas at once direct from the brand is something that I have never seen another perfume enthusiast do on TH-cam. That's one of the reasons that I liked you right away. You are a true connoisseur and you are not in it to pinch pennies (smart shopping--YES!). But you are not skirting around the subject just reviewing samples and decants as a lot of TH-camrs do
Thank you Sarah! Yes I like owning the originals as well. But I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the abundance of dupes out there, and whether they even are a dupe or not. 💗😘☀️
@@GretaBeth for sure. And you are seeking to educate people who are hungry for this knowledge. That is one of your specializations--providing product knowledge that no other TH-cam fragrance experts are able to provide because they do not actually have the products, don't know where to get them, or want to have a channel without investing enough to acquire the physical product to be able to provide content that subscribers can't come to their own conclusions about. People are resourceful and can easily do their own research. They aren't going to watch videos of information that they could do a better job of themselves. I have often thought that my ideas and knowledge are better than what some TH-camrs offer. Certain TH-camrs are enjoying the luxury of a subscriber base accumulated on account of the fact that they were quick at the draw to start their channel three years ago. They have a cool set-up and intro, but not much more. Content creators such as yourself will pass these established names when they choose to rest on their base and lose perspective on the importance of providing insights.
Bless you, Sarah!! That’s is the nicest comment I’ve ever received! I appreciate that acknowledgement so much more than you realize! 💕💗🤗
@@GretaBeth you are super. I think you are a treasure for all the perfume lovers out there. On appearance, you are gorgeous and refined with a bright beauty from inside that dazzles when you speak. You are both feminine and strong. As an aside, I like that you are kind in the way that you have your Mom and your dogs live in all of the space they want to move in within your home. But irrespective of those things, at the core of what you present to the world on your channel, you are advanced on the subject of fragrance compositon and comprehension, coupled with possessing a natural nose/palate to interpret and translate scent nuances and communicate that information to people effectively. We get access to your acumen for free. Pretty great deal for us. I appreciate your work very much and look forward to enjoying what you decide to show us in the next video. I hope that you are finding that creating on your channel is worth it. I know that it is a lot of work and surely takes many hours of your time each week. So thank you!⚘📚💡👏
Dossier ambery saffron
Yes agreed. I think I mentioned that one 😀
Cloud on clothing smells like bkr
Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge SKIP IT ...I have an old bottle which was an EXACT CLONE from top to base 95 % or better ...then now it is REFORMULATED no burnt sugar saffron but mostly alcohol and a wiff of jasmine very very disappointing..Gyrfalcon is overpriced for what it is ..it 22 dollars overseas ..here it is 70 and is not even on par with AG Cloud which begrudgingly is the best in my opinion
Wow, you must have had a bad fake. Amber Oud Rouge definitely has the burnt sugar smell. Also, Gyrfalcon was only $21 for me. I don’t know where you bought yours.
@@GretaBeth AOR 4 bottles from two diff vendors reputable dealers returned first two without a problem..as for Gyrfalcon Theoudstore they are the only authorized seller per their website
I bought it at The Aoud Store! The store is here in San Diego.
@@GretaBeth yep same one...anyway enjoyed your thorough video a lot..my aim was to let people know you may show something but it may not be the same thing you reviewed thru no fault of yours..as i said the AOR of old is nearly indistinguishable
Really? I recently buy al haramain :( a
