Murky-two-378 shared her favorite store to buy perfume.

“Many of them outperform the originals.”
The mother said she was a big fan of Baccarat Rouge 540 from Maison Francis Kurkdjianwhich retails for $665 for a 6.8 fluid ounce bottle.
She even shared the bottle with her family.
“Unfortunately, my husband and I are both blind to it,” she said.
Murky-two-378 found an alternative way to re-ignite the scent for much less money.
“Dossier’s version of Baccarat Rouge, called Ambery Saffron, smells identical on the skin in a multi-arm test,” she said.
“But it seems closer and we are not blindly looking at it.”
Ambery Saffron from Dossier costs $49 for 3.4 fluid ounces.
“We each have a bottle of Ambery Saffron, which we reach for even though there is still a good 30ml left in the bottle of Baccarat Rouge,” she said.
“We prefer the Dossier version.
“My daughter told me today that she prefers Dossier’s version of J’Adore because it smells better and lasts longer.”
Murky-two-378 added that she plans to continue shopping for her perfumes through Dossier.
“I could go on and on about Dossier fragrances,” she said. “We love them and will continue to buy them.”
