The review
On paper, South Shore is a strong bet if you want Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 87% less than Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum — the 3rd cheapest of 5 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 South Shore is working from.
Top
- saffron
- jasmine
Heart
- amberwood
- ambergris
Base
- fir resin
- cedar
The cult crystal amber pushed deeper — jammy saffron, glowing amberwood and resinous smoke.
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 6 twins of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum we can price, South Shore is number 3 on price per 100ml.
