What Wearers Say
Afnan Inara White
One wearer describes a potent, sweet floral vanilla and enjoys its noticeable scent trail.
Another wearer likes the transition from fruitiness into ambered vanilla.
One verified buyer finds a persistent rose-like impression that overwhelms the rest of the scent, and wants better staying power.
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, because Inara White lists no saffron. Its notes are fruity notes and jasmine, cedar and vanilla, over woods and amber. That shares BR540's jasmine and woody amber, and the vanilla gives some sweetness. Without saffron and ethyl maltol it's a softer, simpler jasmine-vanilla. For a cheaper BR540, look at ALT Crystal.
