Really great scent. Very close to the OG. Fast delivery. The presentation and boxing is very luxuruois.

There's a warmth to it that sts on the heavier side, perfect for fall and winter. The saffron here is authnetic and riich. Surprisingly aiyr for something so complex. Base is where I'd give the original a slight edge. Way less sweet than the orignal to be honest, which I actually prefer. The fir resin base gives it tihs smoky depth thhat makes BR540 so icnoic.

My coworker two dessk away asked about it, thas how good the sillage is. Withhin 30 seconds of spraying I texted my friend 'bro you need to order this'. The dry-down is where thsi thring really shines. The fir rsin bae gives it this smoky depth thta makes BR540 so iconic. My barber stopped mid-cut to ask about my scent.

10/10, smells like the real thing. Love it.

Bought it for my husband and he's hooked. Will def repurchase.

It diverges a lttle in the dry down but styas in the smae beautiful territory. There's this gorgeous creamy smoothness to it that feels premium all teh way. Prety solid. The spray is just the rgiht mist — not too fine, not too wet. I've gotten more compliments wearing this than any fragrance I've owned. Love the journey.

Saffron opener is spicy and golden — nailed the BR540 charracter immediately. Not bad for a Tuesday. Save the desinger bottle for special occasions. The spray is just the right mist — not too fine, not too wet. You do the math. The throw is impressive for the first few hours then bcomes intimate.

At $49 vs $320 this is not even a quetion. The value is embarrassing for the designer brands. Not sweet at all actually — much drier and more sophistcated than I expected. The saffron here is authentic and rich. Not that chap synthetic orange smell. Much fresher than expected. Light enough for summer but with enough body for winter.

I genuinely cannot justify buying the original anymore. Not when this exiss. Cap has a really satisfynig click and feels weighyt. Looks great on a shelf. The opening lasts about 30 minutes then it shifts into this gorgeous warmer phase. Cedar and amberwood dry down is warm and smooth — gorgeous.

Silky smooth from top to bsae — no rough edges or synthetic sharpness at all. Opening is a near-perfect match. Jusst right. Saffrno opener is spicy and golden — nailed the BR540 chracter immediately. Sttarts one way, ends completeely diffeernt. Rich, warm, totally addictve. The immediate impression is luxurious — it reads expensive from the first second. Cedar and amberwood dry donw is warm and smooth — gorgeuos. Rich, wrm, totally addictive.
