Random Question! When given a compliment on your fragrance do you tell people what you’re wearing?🤔
Hey Melissa the link doesn’t take us to the actual product. Just the Maxaroma site.
I appreciate what you said about how in the real world everyone isn’t wearing this all the time. I live in a smaller town and had never smelled anyone wearing it and now that I have it when I wear it out and about I get countless compliments. Is it overhyped? Maybe to some, but I love it and I wear my fragrances to make ME happy.
That is just the thing. I live in a relatively bigger town in Germany and even stuff like Sauvage I hardly smell. Pretty much only at the gym. So even if it's a fragrance that 95% of 'fragrance people' own and use, nevertheless that means that you belong to like 1% of the population that smells like this 😂 We all love individuality when it comes to our perfumes, but don't stress is. No matter what it is, most people will smell it the first time on YOU
@@starboyxxo9867 you explain that so much better than I did. You’re right-fragrance smells very different on everyone. We should all embrace wearing fragrances that make us feel good. Other people liking how we smell is just an added bonus
Agreed~
Interesting that she said the uniqueness of this perfume has somewhat diminished in an older short, but she's sort of right in both
I call this “The scent of the Archangels” as it is heavenly. Top 10 for life!
It’s so memorable
Smells like a child piss
lol do you go nose blind to it?
I personally do not care who is wearing something I like because I uniquely carry that fragrance when it is on me. People have to stop caring so much what others do and live their life.
I definitely agree that the Extrait is the superior version. It’s got that something extra.
🙌🏽
Extrait only lasted for like 2 hours on me
@@dlrsnate5100you went noseblind dude, that's not how it works. People can still very much smell you.
@@WildWildWeasel promise you it ain’t there
i agree with ya cuz everyone in the fragrance community talks about how EVERYONE wears BR540 but in my world no one rocks this one so when i wear it it's still unique
Right? I honestly don't smell BR540 on that many people. I vividly remember smelling (and being borderline suffocated by) Viva La Juicy literally everywhere in the 2010s though. BR540 is nowhere near that level of popularity based on my experience. Heck, I smell Black Opium a lot more often when I go out in public.
Love that
i live in LA and smell it ALL the time at restaurants and clubs,
even at the gym! tho, its arianas cloud i smell at the gym..
When I lived in Miami I smelled it all the time… like every single day. I still love it though
Totally Reformulated and week just disappointing to me .
I love báccarat rouge 540! I bought it from your recommendation and I couldn’t be happier! ♥️♥️♥️
Love that!
Classic Baccarat rouge 540 is a legend ❤
Also, I bought a sample of this and fell in love with it. I went on to buy three dupes and like you said none of the truly compared though the Orientica dupe was super close to it. My only regret was buying all of those dupes rather than just buying the real thing
Correctly said, i tried all dupes but no match to original. Im gonna buy original this Christmas
Have you tried Crystal No. 23 by ALT.? If you have, how does it compare?
Yeay finally bought the 200ml BR540
@@ThugNasty_6969it smells synthetic and honestly cheap and NOwhere near silmilar to Baccarat Rogue 540. I accidentally bought 3 and now I’m stuck with them. I use them as room/bathroom freshner. 🥴😅
I just found out about BR540 within this past 2 months thanks to an oil company that has a fragrance inspired by BR540 called “Sweet Luxury”, . I was intrigued by the smell of it and wanted to know how close it was to the original. I then ordered a sample of it online and….didn’t fall in love at first spray. But then something hit me! I kept wanting to smell it! Now I’m in love! I have 2 of the 11ml travel sizes on the way and plan on ordering the 2.4oz bottle for Christmas!
But was the dupe spot on?
@@joniwestbrook7962 Sorry, I should’ve said “inspired by”. And It doesn’t really smell like 540 to me. It had a sweet aspect to it tho and intriguing enough for me to go after the real thing.
I have to disagree with the initial statement. I do not know where Melissa lives, but here in Europe everyone wear a fragrance. Could be cheap or expensive, but everyone does!
I agree with you. I live in France, Paris, and most people wear a fragrance, from the wealthiest to the average/broke. Even a fragrance that you picked in the market or Carrefour.
So refreshing hearing you speak about fragrances. Some people are in a perpetual state of being online even fragrances like Creed Aventus most people think it’s too expensive for what it is or don’t even know what it is (and I live in London where people have high incomes). Yet, people online will say everyone smells like Creed Aventus. No one knows about the clones / similar fragrances like CDNIM, Nishane Hacivat, Cedrat Boise or Afnan NOI etc unless you’re really into fragrances. Most people genuinely don’t care about fragrances but wear them because they get them as Christmas or birthday presents.
It smells like a burnt strawberry jam! I love it so much i even spray it on me when going to to discount store 😂
Eventho I can hardly smell it after five min I LOVE it so much. I love both versions😩
@PiggyLovesOllie yes, but i have this issue with almost all perfumes these days
hard flex at the dollar store 😉
@@PiggyLovesOllie do you go nose blind to it ?
@@badbella1785 yes sadly
Everybody not paying 300 to 400 for smell good.
Got the extrait however it’s definitely more feminine. If your a guy there’s better choices. On a woman it’s killer.
I just appreciate how she breaks down her topics
I would say it’s not because Thomas Kosmala Apres L’amour exists! Similar scent and half the price of BR540. Always will have the extrait tho
Thomas Kosmala makes HEAVENLY colognes. I got the Frenesie No. 5 and Sport No.4 and they are both fascinating.
Im trying to get my hands on "Soul of the Sun"
Just bought the the Extrait for over 60% off from Amazon, $177AUD for 70ml.
Great review. I been wanting this forever. Finally bought it today. I bought Amyris homme first to be different lol. But regardless this one always draws you back. Even though I absolutely love amyris homme I still had to go buy Bacarrat 😂
Absolutely love your mindset towards fragrance. Will be subscribing
Your logic is very on point. I got samples of a few scents straight from MFK website including BR540 EDP and Extrait. Great prices and comfort that it’s official. Tried the EDP for the second time today just one spray lasted all day and it was beast mode on me surprisingly. I’m a guy and with my chemistry the EDP was both very woody and sweet. Addictive. I placed an order for a travel 10ml today. My collection is getting deeper so often times I opt for samples or travel sizes and I get a whole lot of wears from them. I also like the small bottles because I can take them out with me and respray! Imagine having niche weapons at your disposal right in your pocket! Travel size is the way.
This is way to expensive for me but I would love to know If you don’t mind me asking … which in your opinion is the best dupe?
Oakcha is an "inspired by" house that has the absolute best dupe of it I've ever smelled. It's called Sweven. Oakcha is actually a fantastic house all around.
I own both and when I wear Sweven absolutely everyone thinks I'm wearing BR540. The longevity and projection are also amazing.
Baccarat Rouge Extrait will forever be within my top 3. What I love about it is that even if you ran into someone else wearing it - it will smell different on your skin than it will theirs.
Does this smell like a man’s cologne? I heard it’s unisex which sounds like a men’s cologne as well. I bought Mac Turquatic as a blind buy. I heard so much good about it and at first spray it smelled like a strong man’s cologne. Didn’t like it at all. Just want to make sure this is a woman’s smell. It’s a lot of money.
I feel like not enough people use decants, theyre so clutch in making heavy decisions
Decants come in clutch for the niche game especially
What site has trustworthy decants?
to me it smells like very expansive deodorant...thank you for saying the truth. p.s. you paid for this!!!😱
My most complimented MFK from both sides is Grand Soir
NO! The reformulation is 👎🏻👎🏻 more Alcohol and medical Like.
Just got the 1.2 oz bottle, just so I could try it, I wanted to know what it smelt like, because I work in retail and wondered if I’ve smelt it before, maybe; but not so often. It is a lot for what I make, but also wanted to just know. Super curious person by nature.
But it’s the kinda cologne I’d wear at work for a good day, or a wedding or something.
It’s definitely a work of art with all the pre-tones and post tones senses it’s a nice one.
I wear alot of cologne i go by cologne that says men i didnt know its cologne that can be worn by men and women
Your my go to fragrance/jewelry TH-camr . Thank you for putting me in to 540 extrait and precious liquids scents ⚡️
Thanks for the love! I appreciate you
People complaining about a product made to perfection and looking for an excuse to hate on it because they can’t afford it 😂
Not everyone has BR540 😂😂😂. Heck most people don’t even wear fragrances like that.
It’s more popular and everyone seems to have it on TH-cam than IRL 😂
Totally agree, i found very few people i meet in life wearing baccarat rouge compared to any other fragrances. I always wonder why it was said many people wearing it which i don't see it
FACTS
I love how she started out letting know it was a fake bottle 🤣🤣🤣
The real ones and the duplicates smell a little similar forsure
Can someone describe this scent
This is a gorgeous study of saffron. Saffron bomb!
Totally worth it! However, Grand Soir is my fave MFK.
The Extrait > EdP. Didn’t like the price tag but I will buy it again when I run out.
I agree the Extrait is superior for this dna
I’m a male btw.
I’ll have BR540 for Life ❤
Thank you for the great review! I’m like this scent a lot but think if I’m going to bite bullet in the budget, I will go all out for the extrait!
Love that!
No.. parfums de Marley and house of creed are the only popular scents worth the 400+
Thank you for this review! Your authenticity is on point and appreciated.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a bad batch/reformulated version of the Baccarat Rouge. A lot of us in Australia who have bought BR from Mecca (Sephora equivalent), experienced a bad alcohol like smell, with no staying power whatsoever. I personally own the older version (bought in 2021), and the smell was so different from the new one. The old batch smells divine and last pretty long, with good projection.
Apparently so many people have returned the perfume back to the store and get refunded. So I’m not sure whether this problem only happens in Australia or worldwide ☹️
i recently bought BR540 but in Poland. cant smell it at all, its a new batch
@@swiry99tak, wiele osób mówi o alkoholowym otwarciu i braku zapachu
Tried both concentrations and scrubbed both. I like it off my gf in the air where I do pick up that medicinal latex smell as much
I mean, I've already got Aventus...so I may as well go for BR540 😅
BR540 clear is Sexy on a Woman !
I wear the BR540 red & the woman tell me I smell delicious…
The dupes arent as good !!!
It’s fire
Tissues and perfume %
For everyone who say that is common I wear it as a man and I definitely never smell something like that in the street
Thomas Kosmala No.4 smells very similar to it and cheaper
I love the way you present. You really get your point across so that I can feel and understand. Thank you.....
Before sampling the real deal I bought Lattafa - Ana Abiyedh Rouge, but I sold it after a month of wearing it. Then later I got samples of these so called inspirations - Cloud, Instant Crush, Sensual Instinct, Apres L’amour. Cloud seemed pushing more feminine. Istant Crush is so strong like a hair spray to my nose and Apres L’amour even crazier. Sensual Instinct smelled for just a second like BR540 and then like sour wine. And then I got samples of the real BR540 and also the extrait. It is funny how I just ordered Ana Abiyedh Rouge again to compare it to the original. I feel like it is a process to go through to understand what is worth for me - the original, the inspiration, the clone or just let others use it . 😂😂
10000% worth it
I always get samples of fragrances that are like beast mode. So I can keep it longer and really see if I truly want it. My sample of Grand Noir is on the way 😊
Where do you get the samples from ?
@@seunogunbiyi9443Maxaroma
ppl always talk about how many clones there are but i’ve never smelled a clone of it that’s actually the same 😭
I agree
You’ve won a new subscriber. This is such a well considered perspective. I’m new to the frag game, and hesitated trying BR because it was said to be “played out”, and because it leaned feminine. I got a decant yesterday and I. LOVE. THIS. Never smelled anything like it. I can and must rock this one for a while.
I love baccarat and I’m glad the hype is finally going down I hate when people find out about colognes and we just all smell the same
That part I remember getting Dior sauvage when it first came out no one was wearing it or I didn’t smell it and I only got it because I saw a Johnny Depp commercial and that’s one of favorite actors also got the Very cool spray they Dont probably make anymore and it probably smells like those new Dior sauvage flankers that are out now
😂 The funniest comment yet. You must hang around a very special group of people because no one in my circle wears Baccarat. And I've seldom ever smelled it out and about, and I live in Vegas. In other words, I'm not sure where all these people are that "smell" like you are located.
@@DrRDW I live in Philly and 4 out of 10 of us were wearing baccarat at the same time when we were out just chillen together no where special at that and same thing happened with Aventus I smelled like 5 people in one day at the mall that smelled like me when the hype of Aventus started touching the world 😂
@@jamillie87 they went crazy with sauvage when it came out that’s the only downside to the cologne community is once they talk about a fragrance people go crazy
@believedahype9453 Whoa. That's definitely the exception, lol.
Madam terror scent😂
tldr: Baccarat Rouge 540 is "THAT BITCH" 😆
Ever since I started reading and watching videos about fragrances couple months ago, obviously Baccarat Rouge 540 has come up a lot, finally got to sample it last week (1-2 sprays on MFK paper tester) and OMG it projects so much and lasts so long!!
I put the paper tester in one corner of my room, and I can smell it at least half way across the room DAYS later. It was put next to my wallet in my bag, just on my way home, and I could catch the scent on my wallet DAYS after as well.
I usually don't really like sweet, candy-like scents, (some descriptions of BR540 don't include sweet, but like it's said here, there's a major cotton candy/toffee note) but it did grow on me, and there's a somewhat addicting quality to it, and very memorable.
Now, I'm not considering buying it, cuz I feel it's too expensive (esp now that it's a normal product, and not a commemorative exclusive release) and it's not really my style, but I totally get the hype after experiencing its performance. Though I do think it should be applied with caution, since it's so projecting and strong, and I've heard it described as "migraine inducing" 😅
Need to test the extrait next time!
Where da heckus are all these people wearing BR540? People who say that only hang out with elites. I’m middle class and have this fragrance but I’m a fraghead. None of my contacts wear this b/c fragrance isn’t their priority. And who cares if everyone else wears same fragrances. Jeez, it’s not that serious. Not directed to Melissa b/c she humble but I’m talking about other scent snobs
I love the extrait version and would definitely buy that if price wasn’t an issue. I have seen the “fragrance wardrobe for her” 11ml and I think I might splurge on that so I can try a different variety of scents 😮
I must be the only person that does not like this. 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Nope lots of people don’t
@@melissanacional9662 my list is getting bigger because all your recommendations, but I love it. Keep up,the great work. 🥰🥰🥰
I could have got a 10ml decant of BR540 for $65AUD, but I bought a 105ml bottle of CDN Untold for $60… I’m so obsessed with this stuff I would have used my 10ml in the second week! Imagine being poor but able to use Baccarat DNA as room spray… it’s kinda dope!
Its incredibly memorable BUT it just doesn't last as long as I would love. So for the price, I dont think its worth it. But I love it so much and overspray lol so I buy it! 😂😂😂😂
I really like your honesty and explanationscin your videos and we really appreciate that, but honestly in your opinion if people cannot afford the og which dupe you came across that comes close to the og please
This is my favorite fragrance!! My first niche fragrance and will always be in my collection!! I love your point of view on this fragrance...you got it right!!
I love the scent but to me it’s just overprice. I own it but I also own a clone from a TH-camr in the community and honestly I got more compliments and performance off that one.
What was it?
@@MsTammi125 From “Makin Scents” website
Who’s the TH-camr?
@@SoWhatHo “Makin Scents”
@@OutsideTheRopes ok thanks. What’s the specific fragrance or will it say “inspired by br540”?
Not sure how to feel right now. She is so beautiful to me. But I’m East Coast. So she is an unconventional beauty. Shawty low key bad ASF!!! The cologne/perfume stuff was cool too.
One of my coworkers wears it in the office a couple times a week and it’s absolutely intoxicating.
Great! I love the realistic take in this video. :-) Evenif I DO wear scent all the time. ;-)
I was in New York in September and BR540 extrait de parfum live there 😂 day or night on girls 👌😌. I was wearing Dior Suvage Elixir and at night is magnetic and majestic on me.😌😌😌
It's common where I live,.but that should hardly ever be a deterrent
I agree you feel so great, pretty wearing BR520. I just hate it cant smell it on my self any more. Would layering with Molecule no1 help with that problem?
Im here because i need a real review. Im planning to buy one. I need some opinion.
One and only Baccarat rouge, it works too good with my skin and people seems become horny with me. I have tried over more than 100 famous fragrances but this is No.1 works for me
As a man, I get a ridiculous amount of compliments while wearing BR540. Getting the Extrait soon...
Did you get your bottle a long time ago ?
How many sprays of this and where to spray if I’m a man??
Subscribed! Youre so intelligent
Thomas Kosmala no 4 smells similar just more woody less sweet. Less than $100
it's so refreshing seeing a review not done by a bro dude who has nothing to say. super helpful video!
Baccarat Rouge 540 has insane longevity. And there is more to the scent than cotton candy (I dislike that part). It has this chemical aspect to it, which I think is awesome. A bit like Another 13.
Where did u buy it from?
This is an incredibly pleasant scent in the air to smell, but feminine leaning.... So I spray my room with it lol
A great review… thanks! could you do a review of Rebecca Minkoff perfume?
Put the $ voting poll and youll find .. if you know the dna ..
I received 3 bottles for Christmas lol
Have you tried armaf untold i wanna know the difference
Great review and prospective!
I want to buy creed aventus, best discounter in your opinion?
I Order Baccarat Extrait. Can anyone say if i Order on the official Website, have i the Chance to get a old batchcode??
Did you ever order a bottle? If so, how’s the performance?
I smell chance everywhere I go
Absolutely it is only problem too many people wearing it
How much for it?
I don't mind paying this is the only one I haven't tried yet
I blind bought it recently and cant smell it at all lol 2022 batch. smell is beautiful tho
Can people around you smell it ?
Love MFK 540❤
🙌🏽
Nice review love the video Melissa stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
Hated it
Love the honesty haha
Thanks lol! Love your videos!
Thank you for being so diect and detailed. I love your reviews. Keep them coming
Not only was this informational about the fragrance but you also were educational about many other things! For example people bringing down something just because it’s popular. Applies to many areas of life. I appreciated the life lessons you added. 😊 great video
"NOOOP"😏
