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 Oud Mood
Some wearers love the scent and describe a strong, noticeable presence.
One wearer finds the rose too prominent and the overall style too feminine for their taste. Another enthusiast recalls that a heavy application was too much.
The Verdict
BR540 is our pick. Both have saffron and sweetness, but Oud Mood is a rose-oud with caramel: rose, saffron and allspice, oud and caramel with patchouli, over amber, resins and incense. It's heavier and more Middle Eastern, an evening scent. Some wearers love how much it projects; one finds the rose too much. BR540 is lighter, with jasmine and dry woods. Choose Oud Mood if rose and incense appeal.
