What Wearers Say
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
One longtime wearer enjoys the airy jasmine, saffron and sugary character that settles into warm amber.
One EDP sampler found a dominant hospital-like smell that remained unpleasant on skin.
Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Sublime
One wearer loves the fresh apple-shampoo character for summer. A decant wearer also describes a clean apple-shampoo opening.
The decant wearer finds the sweet mossy drydown overbearing, with weaker staying power and sillage than they wanted.
The Verdict
Sublime isn't a BR540 alternative. It's juicy fruit, apple, lychee and rose, then plum and jasmine over vanilla, moss and patchouli, and despite the family name it doesn't list oud. BR540 is saffron, jasmine and dry woods with ethyl maltol's candyfloss sweetness. BR540 is our pick if that's the scent you're after. Choose Sublime for a sweet, fruity everyday perfume.
