The review
Strong contender. That is where Gharaam lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Baccarat Rouge 540.
Swiss Arabian 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.
It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $129 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Baccarat Rouge 540 — the 32nd cheapest of 34 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 Swiss Arabian 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
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
- 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.
