What Wearers Say
Armaf Club de Nuit Milestone
A wearer enjoys the sweet, salty, watermelon-like impression and prefers it to Sillage.
The same wearer finds the scent becomes weaker sooner than they would like.
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.
The Verdict
BR540 is our pick: Milestone isn't a BR540 alternative. Armaf's list is bergamot, red fruits and a marine accord, then violet, sandalwood and white wood, over vetiver, musk and ambroxan. Ambroxan gives it a little of BR540's mineral glow, but there's no saffron and no candyfloss sweetness. Choose Milestone if you want fruit and sea air.
