Best seller on Amazon
Ariana Grande Cloud Eau de Parfum
$71.99−84% per oz
Not a clone, but it has a similar sweet, airy, cozy feel.
What it does worse: Cloud leans creamier (coconut, praline) and lacks BR540's saffron and mineral edge. Lasts 5–7 hours versus all day.
Closest by Fragrantica votes
Armaf Club de Nuit Untold Eau de Parfum
$40.95−92% per oz
Armaf lists Baccarat Rouge 540's six notes and no others: saffron and jasmine, then amberwood and ambergris, then fir resin and cedar.
What it does worse: On Fragrantica 984 of 1,115 voters say it smells like Baccarat Rouge, more than for any other perfume on its page. It opens a little sharper and the burnt-sugar trail is less airy, and Amazon lists the bottle as a men's scent where Armaf and Fragrantica call it unisex.
Dossier Ambery Saffron Eau de Parfum
$39.20 $49−83% per oz
Dossier names Baccarat Rouge 540 as its model and keeps five of its six notes: saffron and jasmine, then cedar, amber and balsam fir.
What it does worse: On Fragrantica 90 of 93 voters say it smells like Baccarat Rouge 540, more than for any other perfume on its page. Orange blossom, plum and oakmoss are its own, and it has no ambergris, the note behind BR540's salty, mineral edge.

Al Haramain Amber Oud Rouge Eau de Parfum
$49.99−82% per oz
On Fragrantica 515 of 581 voters say it smells like Baccarat Rouge 540, more than for any other perfume on its page, and its notes are Baccarat Rouge's core: saffron on top, jasmine in the heart, ambergris and cedar at the base.
What it does worse: Kurkdjian's amberwood and fir resin are missing and Al Haramain adds musk, so the burnt-sugar trail is a little softer.
Alt. Fragrances Crystal Extrait de Parfum
$49−82% per oz
Alt names Baccarat Rouge 540 as its model and keeps the notes we list for it: saffron and jasmine, cedar and ambergris (amberwood on its Amazon listing).
What it does worse: BR540's fir resin isn't on Alt's list, and Alt's is an extrait de parfum, No. 23 in its numbering, where BR540 is an eau de parfum.
CLONE Rouge Veil No. 13 Extrait de Parfum
$39.99−83% per oz
CLONE names Baccarat Rouge 540 as its model and lists the same six notes: saffron and jasmine, amberwood and ambergris, fir resin and cedar.
What it does worse: No Fragrantica voters have compared it with Baccarat Rouge 540 yet, so the match rests on the note list alone. CLONE sells it only on its own site, with its own shipping and returns, and it is an extrait de parfum where this Baccarat Rouge 540 is the eau de parfum.
