What People Say
Alexandria Fragrances Brasilia
One wearer praises the pineapple and smoky-woods character.
Another wearer finds it fruit-forward and pleasant, but that emphasis isn't their preference.
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.
The Verdict
Choose Brasilia if fruity woods and a smoky element appeal to you. Choose Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP for jasmine and saffron with ambergris and dry woody facets. Alexandria names Aventus as Brasilia's inspiration, so these are different scent choices. If you want a BR540 interpretation, investigate Dossier Ambery Saffron or ALT Crystal instead.
