Long-running budget Baccarat Rouge 540 alternative. Owners say the opening is very similar to BR540; the drydown diverges (a cherry-cough-drop sweetness) and it lacks the original's depth and longevity, but it's a strong value.
“it smelled very very similar to Baccarat Rouge 540. The dry down smells like cherry Vicks though!”

N°4 Après l'Amour
Widely cited as a BR540 dupe at roughly half the price. Shares the synthetic amberwood + musk DNA but reframes it: lemon zest and bitter orange blossom replace BR540's saffron-cotton-candy opening, and the dry-down skews more masculine and less floral. Reviewers describe it as 'BR540 on steroids' for longevity and projection.
