Red Temptation Elixir

How it Smells

Red Temptation Elixir doesn't beat around the bush. It jumps straight into that candied saffron and almond accord. It’s very clearly chasing Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait. Close? About 82% there. However, the almond here is noticeably sharper, more synthetic. The jasmine in the heart is dialed down, allowing a cedar note to peek through, giving it a slightly drier feel than the original. As it dries, that familiar ambergris warmth emerges, but it's underpinned by a more generic "woody notes" accord. Lacks the airy refinement of the MFK.

How Long Does it Last?

This stuff sticks around. You'll get a solid 6-7 hours on skin. Projection is moderate for the first 2 hours, leaving a noticeable scent trail without being obnoxious. It then settles closer to the skin, creating a personal bubble. Decent .

Is it Worth It?

If you crave the Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait vibe but can't justify the price, Red Temptation Elixir is a worthy substitute. Just know what you're getting. It's bolder, slightly rougher around the edges. Someone confident, maybe a little edgy, could pull this off. It's not trying to whisper elegance; it wants to make a statement. For most people? Probably not. This is a good entry point.
