I first got 2 bottles and it went way out of stock! It just came back in stock on Zara in the Netherlands and i bought 6 bottles!!! I love it!! It saves me from buying a €300 fragrance 😅
I just got mine and all I can tell you is please buy it, you won’t regret it, smells amazing, I waited for so long because Zara didn’t have it, but now they have this one and Rose gourmand, both perfume are amazing, I’m just 🥰
I ordered one when they restocked recently. But I can smell something that’s not very pleasing to me. Something I’d compare to the smell a gas leak. I’m not sure if that’s a note in the scent, but I find it annoying imo.
@@cheeseyka19 You should return it because I do not think it is good, I have already bought this perfume for days and whenever I use it I receive compliments, and I’m very picky with perfumes, you should return it
Red Temptation, Rose Gourmand and True Leather were all from the same Zara line and said to be their best in a long time with great performance. So what does Zara do? They sell out around the world and don't restock it!
I just bought it and it smells horrible on me. I don't know which note smells so sharp and strong and mettalic but it's not good on me. I will try to sell it. I am dissapointed.
I bought the perfume included. The packaging is beautiful the perfume doesn’t last longer than 4hrs. If you’re more active it’ll stay on for 2hrs maybe.
I have a sample bottle of BR 540. Honestly, the first time I wore it, all my family said “wow what are you wearing. It smells so good.” I’d love to have a bottle but it’s cost so much $$$.
@@jdun7167 --- it's been a while since you posted the question so I hope you see it....You can buy samples directly from the Francis Kurkdjian website. They come in packs of 4 and they send them directly from Paris (no shipping cost). They also send you a coupon to use on your full-size bottle and the coupon is good for 1yr. I bought some samples from them in December, BC540 included.
Thank you for the review. I tried this one and I was overwhelmed. I also own fleurs sublime and it is really nice but not as spectacular as the rose gourmand is. BTW, the end if the video is such nice...was this a squirrel?😘😘😘👍👍👍
I heard mimosa cloud from Zara is a dupe of Ariana cloud which is a dupe of 540, have you tried mimosa? Also have you tried Zara’s santal glow? I heard it is a dupe of byredo
omg mimosa cloud smells way better than cloud. it smells SOOOO good if you like sweet scents mimosa cloud is easily zaras best sweet scent. and mimosa cloud/ariana cloud smell nothing like 540. if u want a real real dupe zara has pour night homme v its even better than red temptation. it has the unisex burnt sugar dna that 540 has
@@xoxjelloxox nope pour night homme v is sold out. try mimosa cloud honestly it just smells like candy it smells like something i never smelled before theirs pistachos in it. its better than cloud
I was finally able to get it today I’m kinda disappointed . when u first spray it smells like alcohol then after u smell it kinda light. I also have it in the dossier brand called ambery saffron and that one is so much better
Red temptation also smells like thomas kosmala no 4 i had the thomas kosmala one before red temptaion and it smelt so good but i ran out and couldn’t find the perfume anywhere but the red temptation smells the exact same it’s crazy but i loveee it
I was literally typing do yiu think Instant Crush smell like 540😂😂 when you mentioned it. Do you like the Christian Siriano fragrance that is said to be a dupe? It’s called Ohh Lala.
I love Les Couvents Des Minimes Tinhare - personally even more than BR540, something about TH is just lovely - & I read that one person on Fragrantica said this is super similar - can you tell me if it is - bc Tinhare is not exactly cheap in the UK - Fragrantica girl said its so similar she couldn't believe it(!)🙏💜
I sampled Instant Crush and I've got to say I was disappointed and let down by it. I really can't understand what the hype is about. The best way to describe it is exactly like "Candy Floss" Or "Burnt Sugar" But not as good as Cotton Candy in the amusement park. Cotton Candy smells intoxicating. Instant Crush smells close to burn sugar than cotn cndy. It's too sweet for a man. And it's non-wearable in the Summer for a man. A skinny male teenager might be able to pull it off at parties. Definitely not for me as I can't understand the appeal. A 2 ml will be good if you want something different on rare occasions but to me the rest is all just hype & marketing from a male perspective. P. S.: have not tried 540 yet.
@@pinklishdot cloud doesnt smell like 540 anyways. only the spray thats all. its a kiddy like marshmallow scent. red temptation is citrusy masculine and a bit sweet

It smells like a doctor's office, I don't want to smell like that as a woman
Is MFK540 the most duped perfume ever? It feels like it.
Lol I guess it's competing with Aventus for that spot 😬
@@DeliciousDelights ahhh yes so true. Lol
That's interesting that Zara has a range that imitates Montale.

I love seeing your comments all over YT under fragrance videos.
@@mattstolzman Thanks! What do you like about them?
@@shave-a-thon3415 I think we might have similar taste. What's your favourite right now?
For me this is the best dupe !
Hello Arlene, I bought this one and I seriously disliked it. It just smells mettalic to me. Wonderful review as always ❤️
Me to unfortunately.
It smells absolutely vile. My boyfriend told me that it smells like a mens perfume
@@barbie4170 funny enough, i gave it to my boyfriend as well and it smells incredible on him 🤷♀️
@@Auriel5 same! 😂😂😂. It suits him
I just bought it and it smells horrible on me. I don't know which note smells so sharp and strong and mettalic but it's not good on me. I will try to sell it. I am dissapointed.
it's true,
both versions Red Temptation
are exactly the same.
I have both (a few), because I don't want to miss them one day :D
Ahhh good to know ty! 😊
@@aliceyonnie3725 Oh no way, I'm sorry
@@aliceyonnie3725 it’s back online anyway
Red Temptation is actualy a dupe by Amber Fever by Mancera. To me, Red Temptation smells more like a dupe of the Baccarat the Extrait de Parfum.
The 540 is the best and ONLY!!! I do like Tom Ford as well but I will try the dupe Mrs Perfect hair lol 💋💖💋💖
I bought the perfume included. The packaging is beautiful the perfume doesn’t last longer than 4hrs. If you’re more active it’ll stay on for 2hrs maybe.
never heard of Zara until recently. Bought this, love it, so long lasting!!! now I want to try many more
And how is the projection so far?
I have a sample bottle of BR 540. Honestly, the first time I wore it, all my family said “wow what are you wearing. It smells so good.” I’d love to have a bottle but it’s cost so much $$$.
Where did you purchase sample bottle from please
@@jdun7167, I looked up places on line that sold samples. I’ll look to see if I can find the name of it for you
@@jdun7167, I think it was The Fragrance Sample Shop. Google it and it should come up.

No instant crush has way more vanilla and a slight bit of oud. I have both

Greenwich Village by Bond No.9 is very similar to BR 540
What is the other men’s dupe called from Zara?
I was finally able to get it today I’m kinda disappointed . when u first spray it smells like alcohol then after u smell it kinda light. I also have it in the dossier brand called ambery saffron and that one is so much better
You are getting anosmic to this frag. I don't smell it either, but people are asking what I'm wearing after 10 hours after applying
Just don’t get the hype about this fragrance?? I have a decant and smelled this at the counter and it doesn’t grab me at all on any notes!!
Red temptation also smells like thomas kosmala no 4 i had the thomas kosmala one before red temptaion and it smelt so good but i ran out and couldn’t find the perfume anywhere but the red temptation smells the exact same it’s crazy but i loveee it
Hiya thanks for your review. Just wonder if you still prefer the instant crush or the red temptations?
To me the bottle od Red Temptation looks quite similar to Instant Crush bottle with the heavy bottom and gold overspray.
I'm try to find this fragrance on Zara website USA, but it is not available 😕.
It's also sold out on the Dutch Zara website. Hopefully they restock soon!
It is available now!! I just bought a bottle

Would you say this smells really good on a male? Like would ladies fine this scent too feminine on a guy or would they most likely enjoy it?
It's unisex imo...for everyone to enjoy (hopefully) 😉

Hiii Arlene!! What about Zara's Mimosa Cloud? I've read it's also a Baccarat Rouge's dupe.
Cloud mimosa smells similar to ariana cloud. I have them both.
@@faizaabdulkadir839 thank you!
Have you found a dupe that smells really close to BR 540?
lataffa ana abideyhe smells just like it
Please review Al Haramain Amber rouge as a for for br540
Is instant crush from Zara?
Instant Crush is by Mancera :)
I live here in california but I couldn’t find it here.
It seems to have been sold out where I live for a few months now :(
What I’m more confused 😩
Its out of stock everywhere, so sad
It’s back in stock on their site
How does red temptation compare to cloud?
I find them to be very different :)
@@DeliciousDelights in what sense?
@@pinklishdot cloud doesnt smell like 540 anyways. only the spray thats all. its a kiddy like marshmallow scent. red temptation is citrusy masculine and a bit sweet
It literally smells like a bandage lol

No it’s the same lol
It's 26 dollars now 😑
Where at ?
@@sharnaymills5315 I'm referring to the Zara red temptation (it's sold out though)
