Maison Alhambra Barakkat Rouge 54 | Eau de Parfum 1ml | By Fragrance World, 1

Product Information

Oh, and Burberry Her in comparison? Nope, my sister wears that one and Cloud as well, and I can tell them apart when I smell her. Burberry Her is a lot fruitier than both BR540 and Cloud. Still similar, but not as much as the other two. The stunning bottle of Barakkat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is dressed in a brilliant red robe reminiscent of the colour of Bared. The bottle’s aesthetic design plays with light, adding to the intensity of the perfume. In terms of performance, it doesn't disappoint. Some people label it as weak, but don't be mistaken. This is not a heavy oud fragrance, this is airy and light while keeping its depth. This fragrance is loud even when you forget it's there. I was in a friend's kitchen when her roommate came in and exclaimed "Baccarat Rouge?!". That was at least 5-6h after applying, and at that point I went noseblind to it, but it easily filled up the whole kitchen while I was there for 15 minutes. This has happened on multiple occasions, so for me, these experiences speak for themselves. It’s heavy, sweet, and synthetic, but masterfully executed. It leans feminine, but is unisex enough for a man to enjoy. This does smell dated to me… but hear me out. I imagine people stopping whoever is wearing it to ask what you're wearing in an event because of how unique it is. The saffron note in the opening notes is my absolute favorite!

The extrait has better longevity. The ambergris note in the dry down is stronger in the extrait. I’m not a big fan of ambergris. So both will be a pass for me. But after I used soap and water to wash them off, I could still smell both of them on my arms. I then washed my wrists for the second time and sprayed another different perfume on my wrists. Even after the new perfume completed faded, I could still smell 540, especially the extrait. It’s crazily strong. The EDP was also noticeable, but not as strong as the extrait. Until this chemical weapon in a pretty bottle, my reaction to other bad frags was something like "meh, not for me" - I enjoy almost every frag at least a little bit, but my eyes are now open. As there is a higher oil content to make them last longer, with ALL perfumes, not just The Essence Vaults's perfumes, we do recommend that you take care when applying on clothes, and of course you do so at your own risk.I get an alcohol opening but it goes away within a few minutes of spraying & I know you'll wonder but I own an authentic bottle, but that opening doesn't make it less of what it is. I honestly don't know where to start. I still absolutely ADORE this fragrance. Over the course of a year I have tested a lot of fragrances, all the time, and have added about 30-35 new gems to my collection that I love and am obsessed with. However, nothing comes even close to this one. This was, is and will be for a long time my signature scent. I've been wearing it the most, everywhere I go, that even my friends happened to say "I know this smell...it smells like you!".

Uniqueness: 10.0 (I cannot think of any other to compare it besides the EDP version. As far as clones are concerned there is currently a myriad of them) Barakkat Rouge 540 100ml Extrait de Parfum by Fragrance World (Inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum) It can be regarded as a sweet fragrance, half intimate, half mild, half animalistic, very sensual and almost edible. The evoked scents pass through bitter almond candy, Alicante clod, milk caramels and pineapple barbecue, such is the richness of the sweet aromas aroused.From tomorrow, I will be selling all of my clones to buy a 15 ml decant of this, which will be enough for me for months.
