Expensive Hair Care
When you have the perfume, you definitely don't need it, I think. Purely for a hair perfume, I find it too expensive; I'd rather spend a little more money and get the perfume. On the website, there is now the small bottle. That way, you get more use out of it, and it feels somehow more high-quality, so the price-performance ratio is better. If the perfume is too much for you, you should look for something completely different.
It's not bad. If you like that sort of thing, it's okay, the scent is similar or the same, just very subtle. For me, such things just end up going bad in the cupboard before I use them up... I got this as a sample from my friend. There were no testers for the body oil anywhere...
Unfortunately, I bought it. I was too curious. Not for me either. Too complicated, why the same bottle? It irritates me. Despite the spray, I don't find it practical... I'm too lazy. And the bathroom smells weird after a few days since it doesn't look as nice on the surfaces anymore...
I think the EDP is great. I may not like the hype, but I couldn't do without it... until I find something better and just as extraordinary, it stays with me...

Love at First Scent


Today I received....and I'm in love at first scent. I had read and seen a lot about this fragrance (on YouTube) and was very curious. Even without a lockdown, there would have been no opportunity to smell this fragrance in my area. I'm generally not averse to blind buys and do this quite often, but the price had held me back, so I ordered the hair perfume instead.

What can I say: I expected a lot....and was not disappointed......

Sugary, sweet but in an "adult way." Opulent, but not "screechy."

And it lasts a very long time for a hair perfume (I sprayed it on my hair and arms this morning) and I can still smell it very well after hours. I could still smell the fragrance in my hair the next morning.

At the next opportunity, I will test the other variants and then compare them for myself, as I can only speak for the hair perfume here.

Yes, if you like the DNA, it's nice. But unfortunately, it lacks punch. Not just Lira, other hair perfumes pack more of a punch.

A great alternative for those who find the EdP or Extrait too expensive. Smells like Baccarat but not quite as intense.

Absolutely BR DNA but soooo beautifully subtle. Everything that is too much and too loud in the edP fits here! Whether in the hair or on the skin...

Since a blind buy is too expensive for me, I opted for the hair mist. What a lovely, pleasant, sweet-smoky scent!

Artificial - citrusy and sweet, almost piercing! Unfortunately, it clings too much, for me it bears little resemblance to the perfume... Longevity is sadly weak.

Beautiful light hair perfume, a bit milder than EDP of course, I like it!

If you like BR540, you'll love the hair perfume too. It's a toned-down version of the EdP, so H/S accordingly. Still a great scent.

Baccarat Rouge 540 EdP-DNA is lovely for the hair, but the performance is a bit weaker. I expected a longer aura...
