In an industry where there are so many competing luxury fragrances, only one really stands out. Actually if you browse through TikTok, there is one bottle that makes an appearance in more videos than others. That bottle is Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540.
What makes this fragrance so special? Launched in 2014, initially as a limited run fragrance, it quickly became a cult-favorite and is now a permanent fixture. The perfume has only seven ingredients which has the perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness. It is not an overbearing smell and it is long-lasting. If I had to describe the smell, it smells like “old money”.
Despite the perfect balance of smells, this perfume is pricey. And by pricey, I am talking $325 for a 2.4-ounce bottle. This opens up the market to Baccarat Rouge dupes. These dupes smell similar to the real thing, if not very close for a fraction of the price.

The perfume boasts the perfect balance of notes of jasmine, freshly cut cedar and saffron. In short, it is a religious experience for the senses. It has a floral and earthy mix that is inviting.
It is long-lasting, so a little goes a long way. Unfortunately, it is extremely expensive and it retails up to $625 for a 6.8 oz bottle!
Besides the gorgeous packaging, the Orientica Amber Rouge is a smooth and sweet smell.
It is on the sweeter side, if you that is your preference, and it is long lasting. It rings in under $65.
The woody and floral notes of the All Saints perfume are similar to Baccarat Rouge.
It is a soft, sweet fragrance that has distinct similarities. The key note in this eau de parfum is pink pepper, which offers a floral and rose scent.
I saw this viral dupe on Tiktok. It has similar top notes of saffron and cedar. The perfume has more of a masculine smell, rather than a sweet smell.
The smell is very similar to the Baccarat Rouge, however it is not as long-lasting. Reviewers talk about constant application, but for $19, it is worth a try!
This one, according to users, is one of the most similar, if not identical scents to Baccarat.
It has the same notes of saffron, amber and jasmine. It provides the same balance of sweetness and muskiness that the Baccarat has. Reviewers say that people think they are wearing Baccarat, and for 49$ it is a good buy.
If you are looking for another very similar, almost identical smell to the Baccarat, Ariana Grade Cloud is a great option.
It is a slightly sweeter, lighter fragrance than Baccarat, but for $25 it is close enough!
This fruity scent has distinctive notes of Brazilian jasmine and vanilla. The vanilla isn’t overpowering; it takes a backseat to the amber and plum in the perfume that is really beautiful.
Needless to say, this mist is sweeter and more floral. It has an inviting smell and the price is even better. The mist is under $35.
Pacifica’s Dream Moon Spray Perfume contains notes of pink rose, sandalwood, and patchouli. The patchouli is a note, but not overwhelming.
It has a smell that is both sweet and earthy, which is why it’s commonly referred to as a dupe for Baccarat Rouge.
Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge is a great sweet-gourmand oud that has a warm, heavenly cloud of resinous oud wood and is long-lasting.
It has notes of saffron and jasmine. It is a unisex smell, and has more of an earthly smell.
I first heard about Zara Red Temptation on Instagram. It shares the same top note like Baccarat: saffron. It finishes with notes of orange, which is the same as the Baccarat Rouge.
The reviews are mixed. A majority of people love this perfume, but others say that it has a strong medicinal smell. Once the smell dies down, it also has an addictive smell.
