What People Say

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540

One longtime wearer enjoys the airy jasmine, saffron and sugary character that settles into warm amber.

One EDP sampler found a dominant hospital-like smell that remained unpleasant on skin.

Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Sublime

One wearer loves the fresh apple-shampoo character for summer. A decant wearer also describes a clean apple-shampoo opening.

The decant wearer finds the sweet mossy drydown overbearing, with weaker staying power and sillage than they wanted.

The Verdict

Choose Sublime for juicy fruit and a sweet, mossy finish. Choose Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP for saffron, jasmine and dry woody amber. Sublime’s clean apple opening appeals to some wearers, while one decant wearer finds its mossy base overbearing. Smell the drydown if moss is the deciding factor.
