Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Red Amber Elixir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Baccarat Rouge 540.

Mod Fragrances lists 3 of the 6 notes in Baccarat Rouge 540's pyramid — amberwood, ambergris and cedar. What it does not list: saffron, jasmine and fir resin.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $45 it costs 88% 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.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: saffron and jasmine up top, amberwood and ambergris in the middle, fir resin and cedar underneath — the shape of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540.

Top

  • saffron
  • jasmine

Heart

  • amberwood
  • ambergris

Base

  • fir resin

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.
