Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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. Montagne Parfums set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

For the myth you leave behind. Saffron and jasmine hover over amberwood and cedar — an ethereal, jammy signature the whole room chases.
