“It's a mix of Zara's Red Temptation and Rose Gourmand, so it's a dupe of a Baccarat Rouge 540 and Mancera Roses Vanille hybrid.”

“I got the Zara dupe for BR 540 (Red Temptation) and it smells close enough to my untrained nose.”

“BR540 smells like extremely chemically used tampons to me, same for all of its dupes and copycats (cloud, red temptation etc) A woman at work wears it and brags about it the whole time and I can barely keep my face neutral and not screw up my nose in disgust ”
