Good Unisex Alternative to BR500, but it's a standalone scent
I bought Elegant Woman yesterday at the drugstore because I liked the DNA of Belle Icône so much that I also treated myself to the famous original Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum in 35ml.
Since I plan to use BR500 sparingly due to the price & it won't be oversprayed daily, I am happy about alternative fragrances that I can spray generously.
I don't just use fragrances for myself, but I also like to spray them on pillows or curtains.
About the scent
The fragrance cost me €6.95 at Dm for 100ml, the bottle somewhat resembles the original and is quite simple & straightforward.
After spraying, the DNA of Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum is clearly recognizable, yet something is missing and something has been added, making it not a copy but rather a related scent.
Of course, we don't have the intensity of Baccarat here; saffron dominates with jasmine undertones and has a nice fir resin touch in the dry down along with slightly woody notes.
The scent has a sweet and noble character with rich cotton candy undertones.
It doesn't smell cheap, which is the most important thing for me.
Compared to "Belle Icône | Câline," I prefer Belle Icône a bit more because of the candied strawberries. Thus, Elegant Woman & Belle Icône are related but different; I am glad to have both alongside the originals in my collection. I plan to spray them generously and will repurchase both drugstore fragrances because I like the DNA so much.
Both drugstore fragrances are unisex and can be sprayed by both genders, so please don't be misled by the name Elegant Woman.
Anyone who loves the Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum DNA and enjoys the scent will find Elegant Woman to be a standalone fragrance with a relation to the original.
