I found a $2 Walmart dupe for the super-luxe $325 Baccarat Rouge 540 – I was astounded, it smells exactly the same
A FRAGRANCE aficionado discovered a budget-friendly imitation of a luxurious Baccarat perfume.
Rouge 540 sells for $325 at Bloomingdale’s, but there’s a dupe at Walmart that retails for $2 — and the expert can’t tell the difference.
TikToker Foolish Ghost Fragrance (@foolishghostfragrance) loves to post reviews online.
He was stunned when he came across Glow cube wax melts by Allswell.
“This wax from Walmart smells exactly like Baccarat Rouge,” he said.
“I was absolutely astounded when I smelled it,” the TikToker continued. “Smells so, so good.”
The wax melt “provides a fragrance with notes of warm vanilla and juicy pear blended with fresh creamy coconut,” Walmart’s website says.
It has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars, from 58 reviews.
People on TikTok agreed that Allswell’s Glow smelled similar to Baccarat’s Rouge 540.
“I agree bought the candle twice,” one person said.
“You are absolutely right. I went back and got the candle and room spray,” a second wrote.
“I can confirm it. It truly smells exactly like Baccarat,” a third posted.
Rouge 540, which was created in 2014 by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, has notes of jasmine, saffron, cedarwood, and ambergris.
It has become a “cult scent,” according to Wallpaper.com.
“It’s powerful without being heavy,” Kurkdjian told the outlet.
“It’s sweet, there is a yumminess, but it’s not sickening,” he added.
