Notes & Nuances
Ana Abiyedh Rouge swings for the Baccarat Rouge 540 experience. The initial burst of saffron and jasmine aims for that airy sweetness, but lands a touch more synthetic – a sharper, almost metallic glint. The heart, where amberwood and ambergris should create a warm hug, feels a little thinner here. Less plush cashmere, more like a brushed cotton blend. The drydown, built on fir resin, cedar, and musk, does manage a pleasant, grounding warmth, yet it lacks the refined elegance of the original. It's about 89% there, but the missing 89% is where the magic hides.
Wear time & Sillage
It's a performer. Lasts a solid 6-7 hours on skin. Projection is moderate for the first couple of hours, leaving a noticeable trail. It settles closer to the skin after that, offering a personal bubble of sweet, woody warmth. Not beast mode, but definitely present.
Is it Worth It?
If you crave the Baccarat Rouge vibe without the Baccarat Rouge price tag, Ana Abiyedh Rouge is a viable option. It’s not a perfect replica, possessing a rougher texture, particularly at first spray. It’s a great entry point. For someone curious about the DNA, it’s a safe blind buy. For ultimate refinement and nuanced depth, maybe. But for everyday wear and a similar atmospheric effect? This clone gets the job done .
