If you’ve been searching for a scent comparable to Baccarat Rouge 540 that doesn't irritate your sensitive skin, let me introduce you to Dime Dans Les Bois. This eau de toilette is formulated with organic cane sugar alcohol instead of alcohol SD 40, a common perfume additive that can trigger irritation. Plus, it’s also Leaping Bunny-certified, vegan, and cruelty-free.
As for the smell, it’s almost identical to its much more expensive counterpart. The red saffron note comes on strong after the initial spritz, but soon after it mellows as fir balsam, jasmine, and sweet amber make an appearance (and stay around for like four hours). I love that even though it’s under $50, the bottle still looks and feels incredibly luxe—like, it totally deserves a front and center spot on your vanity.
- Key notes: Red saffron, almond, fir balsam, jasmine, sweet amber, ambrox, cedarwood, ambergris, moss
- Size: 1.7 oz
Glowing customer review: “Why is no one mentioning that this smells similar to BR 540?? The saffron, ambergris and jasmine really come together to smell like a dupe for me.. it lasts about 10 hours on my skin and it's intoxicating. From the first spray to dry down. My husband is also a huge fan, which is a plus. I also love the fir balsam, crisp scent. Just so good!”
