A Beautiful Baccarat Rouge 540 Alternative
There are quite a few more affordable alternatives to "Baccarat Rouge 540 (Eau de Parfum) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian," and for me, the "Luxury Collection - Storia d'Amore | Richard Maison de Parfum / Christian Richard" is a very successful one. I was surprised by the brutal longevity on my skin of well over 24 hours with a successful sillage.

The top note starts sweet-fruity-citrusy with orange grapefruit sugar, lemon peels, and a slightly synthetic-medical touch thanks to a certain clinical aroma and the well-known saffron note. Additionally, I detect a fresh-menthol-like, green-spicy-herbaceous hint of peppermint and artemisia. The heart note follows the same vein and adds a certain creaminess to the fragrance. In the base, you can also discern some amber and moss.

In the end, I find the "Luxury Collection - Storia d'Amore | Richard Maison de Parfum / Christian Richard" very successful and I sincerely thank Sören for the sample.

Fruity and Fresh
In search of orange scents, I found this fragrance. I have long mourned a perfume that is at least 120 years old, which, like the manufacturer, no longer exists: Lavender-Oranges by Jünger & Gebhardt.

Hoping that an orange-moss combination could be just as harmonious, I immediately ordered an 8 ml sample and was wonderfully disappointed. These oranges have not only the bitter note but also a lasting fruity note, and I love it.

Of course, I also read the comparisons with BR 540 and got myself a sample of that as well. Sorry, Storia d'Amore is the clear winner. While BR 540 increasingly drifts into a sweetness that is unpleasant for me, Storia d'Amore remains fresh-spicy until the end. And it costs less than half!

Longevity and sillage are above average. I was still approached about it at the end of a whole day in the office. And it fits every season.

Clear recommendation from my side!

Lovely Orange
The Luxury Collection by Christian Richard is a line exclusively created by Distimex from France for the Cologne niche perfumery "Perfume History." If you haven't encountered it yet, you can look forward to it when the shops are allowed to reopen (hopefully soon). Here, a variety of niche fragrances are offered in a very decorative manner, inviting exploration. Alternatively, you can of course order online - but those unfamiliar with the creations might be encouraged by the descriptions.

The bottles not only look quite valuable, but they also feel substantial in the hand and impress with gently outwardly curved smooth surfaces and a solid cap. As far as the visual impressions go... olfactorily, "Storia d'Amore" with 35% fragrance concentration is an Eau de Parfum that focuses heavily on orange. Beautifully juicy, but by no means monotonous or ordinary. The hint of moss is probably less dominant, but the combination with amber creates an absolutely mysterious effect.

One might almost think that the orange has been slightly caramelized, so it’s not simply sweet, but rather endowed with a fine, lovely sophistication. And for the corresponding tree, I imagine the citrus fruit in a restrained manner with a bit of green in between. The ingredients seem relatively natural - by no means overdone, but I could imagine that there is a bit more in there than officially stated.

In the drydown, there is hardly any trace of the orange left, but there is much more of the sweet amber remaining. I wonder if perhaps a pinch of vanilla has crept in, as the scent becomes creamier towards the end.

I can remember that my mother would occasionally prepare a large bowl of fruit salad. As a counterpoint, she would whip cream with a bit of vanilla sugar - exactly this flavor combination comes to mind here.

So, for those who enjoy a special orange scent, not overly sweet and with a delicate creamy caramel to vanilla amber touch, this should be just to their taste.

Lightly caramelized orange with a hint of moss and lots of amber. Somehow a bit more refined than the well-known BR540 and absolutely worth trying.

Yes, BR similarity
But in a masculine spicy
Candied orange
Mossy soft in the dry down
Well done

Am I going crazy, or is this an absolute scent twin of "BR 540"? Strangely, I like "Storia d'Amore" much better!

Thought right away, you know this one?! Yes, BR540 vibe, but lighter. The moss stands out to me, sweet, and still not my thing.

Fruity-creamy-sweet. Great orange-amber combo. Similar to BR540, but this one is much better since it lacks the sticky sweetness.

Unfortunately, I don't smell orange at any time, for me it's a well-made light version of Bottega Veneta L'Absolu, H & S in the middle.

More citrus and metal than its "Red Brother," less sweet and medicinal, yet I still clearly smell a saffron note.

BR540 in the lighter version, beautiful candied orange as the opening. Good performance without being overwhelming... Really nice!
