The review

On paper, Card Red is a strong bet if you want Baccarat Rouge 540 for less.

Perfume Parlour 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.

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

At $122 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Baccarat Rouge 540 — the 31st cheapest of 34 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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 Card Red 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.
