The review

Philos Rosso scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Baccarat Rouge 540.

Maison Alhambra 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.

At $20 it costs 94% less than Baccarat Rouge 540.

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 Maison Alhambra 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

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 is saffron and jasmine at first, amberwood and ambergris at its heart and fir resin and cedar at the end. Maison Alhambra set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
