The review
On paper, Is Different is a strong bet if you want Baccarat Rouge 540 for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Baccarat Rouge 540's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Baccarat Rouge 540 — the 23rd cheapest of 34 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on saffron and jasmine, turns to amberwood and ambergris, and settles into fir resin and cedar. That is the brief Is Different is working from.
Top
- saffron
- jasmine
Heart
- amberwood
- ambergris
Base
- fir resin
- cedar
For the myth you leave behind. Saffron and jasmine hover over amberwood and cedar — an ethereal, jammy signature the whole room chases.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 49 twins of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 we can price, Is Different is number 23 on price per 100ml.
