Montale’s Daydream is a perfect dupe for Maison francis kurkdjian “gentle fluidity gold” - much pricer than Al Haramain, but still a great deal in comparison to MFK
I can’t find this at the Al Haramain stores in Dubai. I think it’s discontinued. Now the Ménage Rouge by Al Haramain is the new dupe. I sampled it yesterday and it’s yummy. Perfume in the Middle East is an essential item. They always go above and beyond on the packaging because it’s a beautiful presentation and probably very cultural.
Middle Eastern really take pride in their bottle designs, this is simple compared to the traditional fragrances u will.find in Dubai and other Middle Eastern countries tries
Get the Al Haramain Manege Rouge!! It’s amazing!! I got the Amber Oud Rouge from the U.S.A and the two are very similar. Manege being slightly more sweet? Maybe? Close enough that you don’t need both.
I’d definitely say that the BR540 alternatives in their many forms are a better buy than the OG. Unless you absolutely have to have the MFK for some reason, many other better bang for buck options out there.
The first time I wore this it was the middle of the day and I had just gotten it and was excited, so I put like 4 sprays on and went to home depot..... 3 dudes came up to me and asked me "bro what are you wearing it smells so good" not really the kind of attention I was hoping for but that's what I get walking into home Depot like that LOL
This is really new and now getting hard to find because more perfume channels have been featuring this. It is just too good and the packaging is really nice & luxurious. The Amber Oud Gold is also good dupe for xerjoff erba pura
@@ploveee9859 I did and it, not sure if it smells like the extrait, because it have the regular br540. It does smell very close to that thought. Very long lasting too.
I justo bought my al haramain amber oud rouge from amazon and the fragance doesnot last not even half an hour con muy skin ,how they compare this fragance with baccarat rouge 540
Love you for this video. Actually, love you in general. I adore your videos, your decor, your voice, the way you present your oppinions and how you consider others' suggestions. You are very very sweet! 🤗
Wow, what a coincidence! I was just looking at this fragrance. I still don’t know what to think of the of BR540 itself. Cotton candy woods and a lush forest. Such a strange fragrance yet oh so popular 🤔
Yeah... I think the Al Haramain Rouge might grow on me, I can still smell it on my sweater sleeve today from when I had sprayed it on my hand yesterday and I'm enjoying it.
I love this parfum a does smell like baccarat rouge 540 extrait. On Christmas I got baccarat rouge extrait and I realized that smell just like it, But I like amber rouge better. Because is a little more sweet
How does Amber Oud Rouge hold up through the day compared to the Baccart Rouge 540? I have the original Baccart Rouge 540. When I spray it on myself, the smell will last through the next day. I can also smell the perfume on my clothes for days.
you're right! At this time I had not smelled the extrait, I should really delete this video as I was very early in my perfume journey and I think my nose is a bit more experienced now :)
I actually smelled cosmopolitan pure sugar at ulta a few years ago and later that same day I smelled mfk 540. Thats another unassuming dupe and its ar walmart now!
Super random, but would you say Girl of Now Forever bears a resemblance to CH Good Girl? There's a few reviews on Fragrantica saying so and I was curious what you think!
I bought the AMBER OUD for my husband and we didn’t like it at first but we are starting to like it more !! I’m not sure how different the rouge is to that one !! Yes the packaging is well over the top and the bottle is really heavy !! Great review Hugs Frances 🥰🥰🥰
Someone told me that it smells better after is sits about a month. I think it's the oud that throws it off at first. When you smell it straight out of the bottle it's a little stinky, but sprayed on skin it transforms.
@@mpleading2588 None. I ended up buying Burberry Her which is different but in the same vibe...fruitier. I had a decant of BR540 and I didnt like the way others could smell it on me, but I couldnt. Apparently it does that sometimes. I would get a wiff here and there but it would evade my nose for too long which was frustrating to me. Maybe these dupes wont do that? but I honestly cant say since I didnt get any.

wow, i am very intrigued - i wonder how close this is to the BR540 extrait, as well? I prefer the extrait over the regular BR540, if it's a good dupe of that, they will have all my money :)
@@michelleclark8099 on my skin, the extrait has more depth to it, and smells a little bit more gourmand, if I may say, and it lasts so much more longer. The original plays ghost on me, sometimes I smell it and sometimes I don't. But I can smell the extrait on me until I scrub it off. I feel like I'm wrapped in a little cloud of a wonderful scent, the whole day. I really enjoy it much more 😊
@@thesimplechiclife whenever u have a chance to check out the extrait, pls let us know, ok. Looking forward to hear ur thoughts on Mancera Instand Crush and those fr the Oakcha line too 😊👍
I tried a few sprays of 540 today and on me it doesn't smell like cotton candy. I was afraid it would be a cloying scent and It's not that at all. It's a nuanced fragrance--not too sweet and not too musky. It's almost airy and open due to the ambergris which wears well on my skin. I'm strongly considering buying this dupe. If price wasn't a factor I would buy 540 on the spot. Hope this helps.
@@reeseb8520 thank you!!! I just ordered Banana Republic Rosewood Amor from @redolessence recommendation as the best dupe for BR540, I will let you know😊
@@reeseb8520 so I got the BR Rosewood Amor today and it smells really good! If you’ve smelled Arianna Grande Cloud it’s very similar but not as sweet! I have never smelled BR540 but if it’s better then this I really wish I could afford it 😆 and it’s not really staying around long on the skin but that might be the disappearing act it does that I’ve heard of. But I love it ❤️
The Simple Chic Life I agree. Please update ❤️ one day on the dupe and tell us about the longevity and drydown and which one your boyfriend likes better on a blind drydown test❗️. I love love the dupe bottle. Does your boyfriend find any of your other fragrances unisex enough for himself?
First Kiss from layered is close but not the same; I’d say it’s about 90% similar- it is more pungent and strong and can be headache inducing for some. I prefer the real Delina for sure:)
@@thesimplechiclife no possibilty to order it from Europe. Also Amber Oud Rouge is not available in my country. Amber Oud, Amber Oud Gold yes but this one no :((((

@@thesimplechiclife can you do a video where you test it on different people and ask them what they think? I only have the 540 but would definitely be curious to see if other people can notice the difference :) Love your videos!! :D
I prefer the Red carpet but that’s because I’m honestly tired of all the baccarat dupes and I have the real thing, the aurora is pretty close to it though like 97% similar, red carpet is about 95% similar to Angelique noir (Angelique noir is deeper and richer), but my personal preference is the red carpet. 💗
@@thesimplechiclife awesome thanks I have the real one as well, but I wanted to get a dupe for casual days at home or bedtime. Trying to conserve my good stuff 💖
Maybe you can't smell it on you but others can? You probably know but your nose can develop olfactory fatigue and you just stop being able to smell things - you become desensitized to the scent since you're wearing it yourself. This is why people with really bad BO can't tell they stink lol :)
Hey! How did you find manege in terms of performance compared to AOR? Did you prefer it overall to AOR? I had sunset riot a while back but it sat very close to the skin and wasn't great in terms of performance so I got rid of it. Thanks
The Simple Chic Life Thank you. 2 perfumes confuse me to blind buy during quarantine. Alien and B540. I just can’t understand what they smell like by description.
I love Alien!!! it is strong its powerful you know like a lady who prefers to smell like feminine floral but it's also bold and bossy opening notes are jasmine and dry down is beautiful ohhh soo gorgeous I adore Alien
Yes alien is alien 👾 because it smells like nothing else and it is a unique powerful polarizing scent. I never would have guessed that’s what it smells like based on the notes but wow - one of my faves
Doing the Lord's work for those of us that can't splurge on 540. Thank you
Indeed 😀😀😀
🤣🤣 love this
Do! Just do it! Worth every penny!!
This has me hollerin 😂😂😂😂😂 Ain’t God good
Not even can’t but wouldn’t.
It’s a little gaudy to spent $500-$4000 on some liquid.

Also for those who love Tom Ford tobacco vanille try alharamain amber oud tobacco edition you're welcome 😉
Thank you! :)

Does it have the almond note of the extrait?
@@savitajardine5868no but the ruby edition by Al haramain does that’s I think is a dupe for the br 540 extrait

I heard this a dupe for the extrait. I have the 6.8 of the BR540 and it’s halfway gone already, because I’m obsessed. Hopefully this works out!

Amber Oud Rouge, is even more similar to Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum, the Amber Oud Gold, is the one that dupes the EdP the most...;)
The notes according to fragrantica arabia are rosemary, cedar, lemon, bergamot, spicy notes, guaiac wood, resin, musk, amber
Are those notes for the Gold or Rouge edition?
Those are the notes for the Al Haramain Amber Oud - the Rouge is not yet posted on Fragrantica.
I just ordered mine. Thanks for the review. I love your channel too 😊
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Agree !!! This is 99% similar to MFK BC540, but for me Haramain has more rubber smell than BC540 in the openning.
i don't get rubber at all from any 540 idk what ppl are talking about
Thank you! I have samples of the 540 on the way. If I like it I’ll get this one!🤗

I think The extrait and the edp is the same i have The extrait the only difference in my nose is that Extrait Is More on woodier side
You should try Mancera Instant Crush. Would love to hear what you think in comparison
I actually smelled cosmopolitan pure sugar at ulta a few years ago and later that same day I smelled mfk 540. Thats another unassuming dupe and its ar walmart now!
Can you review Mancera Instant Crush, it is so close to 540 too.

I had sunset riot a while back but it sat very close to the skin and wasn't great in terms of performance so I got rid of it.

It’s unisex... not overly masculine or feminine, would be super hot on a guy but great for women as well.
