@@ms.c76 I though they were identical until I owned both. The Orientica one is woodier in my opinion. I prefer the Al Haramain as it is closer to BR Extrait. They are both super close though.
1- van cleef and arpels moonlight patchouli in place of Gris Dior 2- van cleef and arpels bois d'iris instead of Dior bois d'argent 3- Chopard nuit des rois (which can be found online for much less than in stores) instead of Mizensir perfect oud 4- Natural by the woods collection - Dusk instead of PDM Layton.

Cloud--You can remove the bottle from the tacky cloud and it’s a 100% improvement! The bottle once removed looks pretty good. Cloud is strong -beast mode- and lasts easily 10-12 hours on my skin.
I hadn’t heard Joop! since the 90s. I was immediately flooded with memories of oddball boyfriends, parties with techno music, writing letters, and babydoll dresses
In Canada, Yves Rocher is having a 50% off sale right now and I was in store yesterday and got Plein Soleil from this line. 🥰 They are fantastic! Very affordable options for sure.
I bought Le Bain aftervwatching this review 🙂. I got it online for 12€. I bought Cuir de Nuit as soon as you uploaded the video about that perfume. Thank you ❤ Better dupe for Baccarat Rouge is Lattafa "Ana Abiyedh Rouge" compared to Cloud, imo.
Best alternatives: 2. For Lancome Oud - Shagaf Oud. On me the performance is outrageous far more than Cloud. 6. For Baccarat Rouge - Sensual Instinct by Montale as well as Amber Oud Rouge by Al Haramain (even better). 8. Portrait of a Lady - Porpora by Tiziana Terenzi.
For BR540 try Red Temptation from Zara, and Rose Gourmand from Zara as a dupe for Montale - Intense Cafe / Mancera - Roses Vanille (to me it smells more like Roses Vanille) :) and they're like 20$ each for 80 ml
Sensual instinct smells nothing like Baccarat but I agree with the Al Haramain. They also have a sweeter/fruitier version of Baccarat, Manege Rouge - doesn’t smell overly sweet and cheap like cloud
Yeah! Joop! Le Bain. What a wonderful soapy vanilla. So elegant and so affordable. I payed 18 Euro's for a 75 ml bottle. Another alternative for Guerlain Spiriteuse Double Vanille is Eau de Missions. I actually think that one is a smokey boozy vanilla masterpiece. It's discontinued but still available for around 25 Euro's for 100 ml. Greetz from Holland 🌷!
Are you saying that Joop! Le Bain is an alternative to Guerlain Spiriteuse Double Vanille? I have always wanted to try the Guerlain fragrance and have Joop! Le Bain already. Would you say they compare? I have heard that Vanille 28 is somewhat similar too.
There is a new perfume house called "Maison Alhambra" that sale a dupe of the original Perfume De Marly "Delina" called "Delilah". It's a cheapy at around $38‐$40 . The name, fragrance, and packaging is eerily similar to Delina, no joke. I've just ordered it and I have the original "Delina" myself. If this is a spot on dupe for what I have then I will only bring out my Delina on special occasions. UPDATE: I've received the dupe called "Delilah" by Maison Alhambra whom created the exact replica of Perfume De Marly "Delina" it is spot on 98% the same, I can't hardly tell the difference. I let my husband smelled it and he said it smells exactly the same but Delina is much louder than Delilah lol. I told him that I only sprayed a tiny bit because I didn't know what the potency of Delilah so she didn't get a fair shot. So I sprayed Delilah fully and gave her another try and my husband said, Delina is definitely in Delilah, but Delina carries a bit more creamier smell. So my husband gave "Delilah " 97% (A) on her smell. I will have to test the longevity out on Delilah tonight to let you all know if she can outlast my Delina for 12 hours or not on my skin and clothes. I will report back to you all on my findings.
@@ms.c76 You are very welcome. It's always best to save your most expensive perfumes or colognes on special occasions. Especially when it's very expensive and there are other dupes out there for the perfumes/colognes that we wear.
I've never tried Guerlain "Spiriteuse Double Vanille" but I've heard that Mercedes-Benz "Club Black" is similar to it. I own M.-B. "Club Black" and I like it. M.-B. has other inexpensive alternatives to other fragrances, e.g. M.-B. "Intense for Men" is an alternative to Dior's "Fahrenheit". I own and enjoy Rochas "Moustache EDP" which is considered as an alternative to YSL "Tuxedo".
I have both Guerlain and Mercedes. They do have a familiar feel, but Guerlain is quite a bit more smoky and has a stronger vanilla smell. Club Black smells a little sweeter and smells lighter with some cinnamon. So, you could substitute, but they are different. The Guerlain definitely smells richer to me, but both are awesome.
I have recently given a chance to Fragonard's perfumes while visiting Grasse. I used to not really care for their stuffs while living in Paris in the past. I was really happily surprised by a few of them especially the Perfume concentration alternative vs the EDP. For exemple "Heliotrope Gingembre" reminds me a lot of "Remember me" from Jovoy, (maybe less complex but it definitely has this ginger bread quality.) I also loved "Mon lys" and "Mon Immortelle" very French niche IMO.
HAHAAA!! I've been informed lately that my just bought perfume, Phlur's Somebody Wood (which you have recently reviewed), smells similar to Baccarat Rouge, and I was intrigued. I was about to order a sample but then you recommended Ariana Grande's Cloud, and I laughed! I thought the bottle was cute! Now I gotta try it out for myself, and I will display her fragrance -in the bathroom! 😆☁
Le Labo Bergamote 22 is my go to summer fragrance and yes, it is quite pricey. I find Nishane Colognise to be very similar to B22 that's about 1/3 of the price. I'd be interested to see if others feel the same way as I do. Great video, Sebastian!
I am the same, I don't really purchase celebrity fragrances, but one that I have (Jennifer Lopez - Deseo) is amazing - but found out it was discontinued...wish I had bought 2 bottles!
There is shops of "L'Erbolario" around Italy so you can probably easily find them in their shops. They are not focused on fragrances but its more of an herboristery(idk how to say it in english) so they sell many plants and herb based things too. The central shop is in Lodi (like 30 minutes away feom Milano) but u can easily find shops in Milano too. Speaking about perfumes you can find in Firenze...you should check out the "Farmacia del cinghiale" they have few fragrances with a very retrò packaging and some are said to be quite nice (the price is very low too.]
Can't belive you filmed this video, but thank you it's very helpful. I accually buy cheaper alternatives to test if buying more expensive parfume would be worth it for me. I know you can buy like 2 ml testers of expensive parfumes but I hate those small overpriced plasticy bottles.
I got my daughter Cloud as she liked BR540 in the store and I chuckled when she pouted that I wasn’t getting it for her. Now I sneak into her room while she sleeps to spritz myself before work. 🤷🏻♀️ And I totally agree with Cloud being the ugliest bottle, kid themed and cumbersome one I’ve ever seen!
Woody Intense by Arabian Oud smells VERY similar to Portrait of a Lady to me , it's a Taif Rose scent predominantly, little less spicy and complex though
Amber Star by Xerjoff (50ml lol!!) is only available in a bundle for over 600€. A much cheaper and better alternative is AMBERLIEVABLE by Astrophil & Stella / 50ml extrait for 135€. I know a few people who prefer Amberlievable to Amber Star :)
i really have both, and i wouldnt say, that they are very similiar. Amberlievable is more like a lighter version of grand soir of MFK, but definitly not a dupe for Amber Star.
Givenchy PI edt is a pretty bang on alternative to PDM Pegasus, Encre Noir is a cheaper alternative to Roja Vetiver, ELDO You or Someone Like You is a slightly cheaper alternative to Veronique Gabai's Vert Desir.
We have so many Yves Rocher stores here in Morocco and all of them still carry cuir de nuit and they're having a 50% off sale right now so I'm definitey getting it asap!
Hi Sebastian! I just received my Yves Rocher order of Cuir de Nuit and it is fantastic!!!! Never smelled the Guerlain SDV but it's ok as I am already so pleased with the CdN and am saving so much $$$$ (for other future fragrance buys lol). I am aware of the brand now because of you and already have / enjoy Nouveau Genre, Tropical Tentacion and Voile d'Ocre. I caught the 50% sale off the YR US website and bought all of them at such a steep discount. Awesome scents, great value!!! Thank you so much as always! :) (oh, i also enjoyed your guest appearance on one of my fave Japanese frag youtuber's vid when she and her husband met you while you were selling Amouage recently at Neiman's! What a fun surprise!)
@@SaccharineCHNOS Hi! If you are in the US, the US website still has the sale going on but I think a lot of products / sizes are sold out. But still some great deals - including some of the fragrances Sebastian has recommended in other videos! You get to choose some free gifts / samples too!
thanks for the vid Sebastian! some twins i've discovered so far are L’Ombre Dans L’Eau Diptyque (around 120$) vs Synthetic Jungle Frederic Malle (230$ for 100ml in europe), and also Bois d'Inoki Masaki Matsushima (50$) vs jo malone Fig & Lotus Flower (125$) - despite a slightly different start, in less than 10mins they smell dangerously alike. also kinda same vibe is shared in memo paris tiger's nest (210$) vs mancera sand aoud (60$), altho memo feels much more complicated
Hi Sebastian..great reviews! Regarding L erbolario, the brand can be found on drugstores mainly, especially here in Greece, perfumes cost about 20 to 25 euros..and if I recall correctly most drugstores in Greece send in USA in case of interest.
Hi sebastian since i am living in germany i was intrigued by trying out rosenrot by rammstein(pronounced rammstine). Thx so much for sharing this Tip because honestly it is one of the best and less expensive roseperfumes!!!also i am shocked because i dont like their music since it is heavy metal but the perfume couldnt be more far away from the expectations that you have from a heavymetallband.
Zara red temptation is exact dupe of bacarat rouge. Red temptation lasts 8hrs plus on me so the longevity is impressive as well as the scent. It’s £19.99 in UK.
I have an alternative for Tiziana Terenzi 's Kir'ke. Catherine Malandrino Luxe de Venise eau de Parfum. $90.0 for 100ml. This scent has a very impressive note structure list. It seemed as if they did want to put their best foot forward, and create a really lovely fragrance.
Thank you for the tip! As it turns out, in Canada, Yves Rocher has a ton of sales online. I’ve bought the Cuir De Nuit based on your recommendation for $42 CAD ($30 USD) I cannot wait to try it!!
I've never smelled Cloud, but I do have Tinhare by Le Couvent and BR540 and they are quite similar. I got compliments with both of them. Also, to me the drydown of Amber fever by Mancera has something similar to Baccarat Rouge.
guys, for Killian - try combining Gimauve with Marshmallow Rose Candy from Zara`s kids department for 15 $ !!! a true Masterpiece comes out 💝.... Zara is a killer by it`s own... I`d pay 200 $ stead of 15$ for it hahaha
Yes L’erbolario has perfume called Fiore dell’onda which is alternative to Rem by house Reminescence which is also alternative of more expensive Aqua Motu by Comptoir sud Pacifique. But all 3 of those fragrances are aquatic which is not into your vibes. Another alternative to Baccarat is Sunset Riot by All Saints which is way better of AG cloud and their bottle is chic
L’erbolario is great! You can find some L’Erbolario shops in big cities and all shops called ERBORISTERIA (shops selling natural products) sell it… they’re everywhere and this brand is super cheap in Italy
In the north of Italy l’Erbolario is sold in stores called Erboristeria and in places like Biosapori which is like Whole Food Market, selling organic foods and natural products.
I am using Goldfield and Banks Australia Desert Rosewood to replace Frederic Mall Musc Ravageur. And Amouage Epic Woman is replacing Portrait of a Lady.
According to my research you can find lorbolario fragrances from drug stores in Italy and also in pharmacy that's what I read from one Italian reviewer on fragrantica If am not mistaken also they have their own shops, I got mine online from their online shop directly
@@ms.c76 it doesn’t smell sweet on me. It’s not as good as BR540. Nothing is as good as it is. But red temptation is kinda similar and good for casual every day alternative
It's really really hard to make 100% unique original fragrances so inevitably there will be slightly different takes on what's obviously the same general idea
Nice list! Another option for this list: Tiziana Terenzi Ursa for Kilian Straight to Heaven. Now about the L’Erbolario shops. Last year I went to Firenze (Florence) for a vacation. There is a L’Erbolario shop in het centre of the city. Right in between the cathedral and basilica. The address is: Via del Corso 23r. Beautiful city en place for a holiday. Have fun!
Hi! I'm from Croatia and here we have L'erbolario's parfums and stuff in farmacy and DM's stores. So,you can try to find it there while you're in Italy
I think the amazing alternative to Ganymede is Bois Imperial Essential perfumes, I believe they’re both from the same perfumer. But BI is slightly softer than Ganymede, really nice alternative & longevity is great!
I would most definately disagree with this statement. Porpora smells obnoxiously loud and synthetic. It lacks depth and refinement. To my nose it smells nothing like POAL and the price is on a similar level. Just go with POAL.
I love Ariana Grande Cloud, but the lasting power is weak. Layered's Beauty and the Beach has what I like about Cloud, but stronger and lasts longer. More affordable too. They also make a convincing Lost Cherry by Tom Ford, called Cherry Delight.
There is an Arabic independent brand from UAE its name is HR perfumes,, I want you to check this brand bcs its nishe brand and a very luxurious,, 👌 I think they have branch in UK and USA
Great video and I enjoyed it and my wife like CH very good girl and I like PDM CARLISLE and Mancera Red Tobacco and we are going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Rammstein Rosenrot in the Rossmann online stores here in Germany goes for only €29.99. Tomorrow I'll check if their physical stores also have that same price, might get one.
@@ThePerfumeGuy There is also a Rosenrot Intense EDP version of the fragrance (also €29.99), but couldn't smell it, they had no tester, only got the normal Rosenrot EDP for now. Great rose scent indeed! And saying that not being a fan of rose in general. As always, thanks a lot for the recommendation!!
I am currently obsessed with Cambodian Oudh from Ormonde Jayne. It is probably the most expensive perfume they got and I am looking for an affordable alternative.

Love these less expensive videos, its great for us who cant ONLY buy expensive ones all the time 👍
Glad you like them!
May I say, Zara’s Red Temptation is a better alternative to the 540. Cloud tends to settle into a vanilla.
Agreed!
Thanks for the tip!
Agreed
there is one more alternative to BACCARA - ANNA SUI - FANTASIA MERMAID, rediculousely cheap (at Kruidvat (shop chain) in Belgium - 10.99 for 75 ML) it is long lasting and noticible .
I have to agree. My fiancé bought the Zara version and both of us are extremely impressed by how close it is to the original.

Quick note about Shaghaf Oud -- Jomashop has the 3-pack in full sizes (gold, black and clear) for $39 as a gift set
That's an amazing deal!
Ive owned BR540 and after trying Amber Oud Rouge by Al Haramain, I won't go back. Not a fan of "clones" but the value is unmatched.
I do owned too but l save it for special occasions. I am between the Al Haramain and Orientica Amber Rouge… did you try the last one?
@@ms.c76 I though they were identical until I owned both. The Orientica one is woodier in my opinion. I prefer the Al Haramain as it is closer to BR Extrait. They are both super close though.
Thanks for the tip!
1- van cleef and arpels moonlight patchouli in place of Gris Dior
2- van cleef and arpels bois d'iris instead of Dior bois d'argent
3- Chopard nuit des rois (which can be found online for much less than in stores) instead of Mizensir perfect oud
4- Natural by the woods collection - Dusk instead of PDM Layton.
I also heard that Al Haramain released a perfume that was extremely close to MFK BR540 that they got sued and had to withdraw it off the market.
Thanks for this
Bois d’Iris is softer and more feminine than Bois d’Argent, but the same DNA, yes.
You mean amber oud rouge edition? It is very similar to BR540 and also Manège Rouge
Al Haramain-Amber Oud gold=Xerjoff Erba Pura. Amber oud =TF tobacco vanille
@@williamsrus06 What's the difference between Al Haramain's Amber Oud and Amber Oud Tobacco Edition?
4711 Acqua Colonia Blood Orange & Basil is a reasonably close dupe for Guerlain's Mandarin Basilic, but the 4711 version tends to run between $30 and $40. I own both and enjoy both. 🦋🧡🦋
Cloud--You can remove the bottle from the tacky cloud and it’s a 100% improvement! The bottle once removed looks pretty good. Cloud is strong -beast mode- and lasts easily 10-12 hours on my skin.
aw! I like the tacky clouds!
And the cloud smells horrible. Cheap plastic.

Better dupe for Baccarat Rouge is Lattafa "Ana Abiyedh Rouge" compared to Cloud, imo.

Yes L’erbolario has perfume called Fiore dell’onda which is alternative to Rem by house Reminescence which is also alternative of more expensive Aqua Motu by Comptoir sud Pacifique. But all 3 of those fragrances are aquatic which is not into your vibes. Another alternative to Baccarat is Sunset Riot by All Saints which is way better of AG cloud and their bottle is chic
Fleur Narcotique vibes definatly could be found in Anna Sui Mermaid, perfect for summer when FN can be a bit soffocative
L’erbolario is great! You can find some L’Erbolario shops in big cities and all shops called ERBORISTERIA (shops selling natural products) sell it… they’re everywhere and this brand is super cheap in Italy
In the north of Italy l’Erbolario is sold in stores called Erboristeria and in places like Biosapori which is like Whole Food Market, selling organic foods and natural products.
I am using Goldfield and Banks Australia Desert Rosewood to replace Frederic Mall Musc Ravageur. And Amouage Epic Woman is replacing Portrait of a Lady.
According to my research you can find lorbolario fragrances from drug stores in Italy and also in pharmacy that's what I read from one Italian reviewer on fragrantica
If am not mistaken also they have their own shops, I got mine online from their online shop directly
Your idea of "inexpensive" is vastly different from mine! 😂😂😂
I found L'Erbolario in a farmacy named Dr. Max. It is a farmacy that sells cool cosmetics.
OMG I liked this video very much 😍 thank you
Oh wow, I remember the band Rammstein. Not a big fan either, but since I love Le Labo Rose 31 this one intrigues!
Red Temptation by Zara is much better alternative for my favorite perfume BR540. I personally don’t like Cloud.
Agree! I don’t like cloud and l bought Red Temptation but even it has the Baccarat vibe is too sweet on me. I am looking for other alternatives…
@@ms.c76 it doesn’t smell sweet on me. It’s not as good as BR540. Nothing is as good as it is. But red temptation is kinda similar and good for casual every day alternative
Palo Santo also gives me the same vibe as Musc Ravageur. In addition, Herod smells a bit similar to Tobacco Vanille and it's way less expensive.
It's really really hard to make 100% unique original fragrances so inevitably there will be slightly different takes on what's obviously the same general idea
Sundazed - Byredo alternative is Amongst The Orange Groves - Provence (Marks & Spencer).
I actually prefer Shaghaf Oud it's more raw and I like that better. The performance is beastly on me and a great compliment getter.
I wish the Rammstein fragrances were more easily available in the US. 😔
I don’t
Tinharé by Le Couvent des Minimes is THE BEST alternative to BR 540 ever. I owned Cloud too, it didn't convince me... Greetings from Paris ❤
I'll have to check it out.
Nooooo, I can't believe you did that to BR540!!! You could have suggested Mancera's Instant Crush. Oh well, it was fun to watch lol.
I like BR540 but instant crush is absolutely vile.
Don’t forget Mancera IC is way more expensive than AG Cloud so I’m sure that’s why Cloud got featured
@@rambosausage8881 perhaps you need to get more olfactory experience before commenting
I smell Cloud on my 16 year old high school students, no thanks...
@@the-chameleon Considering I've owned both then perhaps not 🤔
Nice list! Another option for this list: Tiziana Terenzi Ursa for Kilian Straight to Heaven. Now about the L’Erbolario shops. Last year I went to Firenze (Florence) for a vacation. There is a L’Erbolario shop in het centre of the city. Right in between the cathedral and basilica. The address is: Via del Corso 23r. Beautiful city en place for a holiday. Have fun!
I would do what we do in Paris is secret because it is a fun fragrance and lasts on me, plus the price is right
Hi! I'm from Croatia and here we have L'erbolario's parfums and stuff in farmacy and DM's stores. So,you can try to find it there while you're in Italy
Twirl by Kate Spade is shockingly similar to L'Imperatrice by D&G. Rose Gourmand is very similar to Roses Vanille by Mancera.
By the fireplace / ameer al oud intense Lattafa is better !!!!
OOh I'll check!!
Great video Sebastian thank you so much!!! Awesome recommendations 💙💙💙
I think the amazing alternative to Ganymede is Bois Imperial Essential perfumes, I believe they’re both from the same perfumer. But BI is slightly softer than Ganymede, really nice alternative & longevity is great!
Genre Parfums has a beautiful take on Ganymead called Seau Elektric.
Sebastian best alternative to FDM Portrait of a Lady is Porpora
I would most definately disagree with this statement. Porpora smells obnoxiously loud and synthetic. It lacks depth and refinement. To my nose it smells nothing like POAL and the price is on a similar level. Just go with POAL.
I love Ariana Grande Cloud, but the lasting power is weak. Layered's Beauty and the Beach has what I like about Cloud, but stronger and lasts longer. More affordable too. They also make a convincing Lost Cherry by Tom Ford, called Cherry Delight.
Subscribed! 💜
Try the cloud intense. I find it better. But still love the lightness of cloud EDP.
Great review and perfums greetings from the Netherlands
Burberry her has a way nicer bottle than cloud & smells like BR540 but with a berry note.
I agree. Cloud smells nothing to B540.
There is an Arabic independent brand from UAE its name is HR perfumes,, I want you to check this brand bcs its nishe brand and a very luxurious,, 👌
I think they have branch in UK and USA
Good longevity and sillage? Can't miss my chance to buy smth while I'm here.
Extremely longest lasting yeas👋
Malibu - Party in the Bay - is a much better alternative to Creeds VIW
In Italy you can look for L'Erbolario shops, there are many around especially in malls
Another pretty nice alternative is Lalique white in black which is similar to PDM Layton. 👍🏽
Maison Louis Marie No.4 for Le Labo Santal 33
Wait, so Rammstein, the German industrial metal band from the nineties makes fragrances...to include an cheaper alternative to Portrait of a Lady???
Does Meharees smells like Peau de Pierre? Thanks Sebastian for this video!!
Shaghaf Oud is a beast on me… I have to be careful not to over spray…
Anyone know which one is alternative for Tom Ford Jasmin Rouge?
Yes Cloud and Br540. I can’t really smell either very well. So I am
Assuming they are close.
Great video and I enjoyed it and my wife like CH very good girl and I like PDM CARLISLE and Mancera Red Tobacco and we are going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Rammstein Rosenrot in the Rossmann online stores here in Germany goes for only €29.99. Tomorrow I'll check if their physical stores also have that same price, might get one.
When I come back to Germany I will bring back 10 of their fragrances if I don’t already order them yet!!
@@TheEagleslover Yes I got mine today from a Rossmann physical store in Bonn, same price as online: €29.99.
@@ThePerfumeGuy There is also a Rosenrot Intense EDP version of the fragrance (also €29.99), but couldn't smell it, they had no tester, only got the normal Rosenrot EDP for now. Great rose scent indeed! And saying that not being a fan of rose in general. As always, thanks a lot for the recommendation!!
Wow, inflation is kicking! I wrote the comment above just three weeks ago. Today I went to the same Rossmann store, Rosenrot now costs €39.90
Okay, I know. Thank you.
You find Erbolario in Italian health shops ... think of shops like Holland and Barrett in the UK ...Try Erbolario Periplo ... , very vetiver ...
Just ordered cuir de nuit as blind buy. Wish me luck. Also bought Mon evidence to take advantage of discount currently going on.
I don't remember Mon Evidence but love Cuir De Nuit!! I hope you like it! :)
I am currently obsessed with Cambodian Oudh from Ormonde Jayne. It is probably the most expensive perfume they got and I am looking for an affordable alternative.
Recently I found an awesome alternative to Guerlain SDV - Vanilla Love by Jimmy Choo 🥰
Via del Corso, 23r, 50122 Firenze FI, this is erbolario s adress in florence
I would suggest trying pharmacies for L’Erbolario fragrances which tend to be of the apothecary’s type as the brands name suggests
Zara Red for Him, quite close to MFK BR540
Red Potion by Merchants of Venice is a great Baccarat Rouge 540 alternative
