LDBS, Baccarat 540, & TF Tobacco Vanielle Review
I bought the rollerball size dupes for Love Don’t Be Shy, Baccarat 540, and TF Tobacco Vanille, but there’s not a way to write separate reviews for them so I’ll review all three in one review.First up is LDBS. This dupe definitely did not disappoint. I no longer have the original but know the scent fairly well. I stopped into Sephora a few days ago and sprayed the tester on my pulse points. I was so tempted to purchase at full price but decided I’d wait for the CA dupe to arrive first. So glad I waited because the scents are incredibly similar from the first spray through the dry down.The scent does fade more quickly than I’d like, but that goes for the original and the dupe. It’s much easier to justify to reapply when the dupe is priced so well. I highly recommend this dupe to anyone who loves LDBS or is searching for a marshmallow, floral perfume that’s flirty, warm, sexy, and mysterious. It’s unapologetically feminine. I’ve heard Dossier makes a great dupe but it’s hardly ever available on Amazon. I’m so glad I gave this one a try. 10/10Now, onto the Baccarat 540 dupe. “WOW” is best word to describe it. Smells amazing from the second you put it on and the scent lingers for several hours. I’ve never splurged on the original but have used a friend’s before. It smells just like what I remember. Even if it smelled nothing like it, this would still be a scent I would adore. I’ll definitely be purchasing again and again. I have several fragrances that I love, but I have a feeling this will be my “go to” for a long time. 10/10As for the Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, I’ve never smelled the original fragrance so I’m not sure if it’s a good dupe or not. That said, I didn’t like this scent at all. I usually love a sweet tobacco smell. Back to Black by Killian is one of my favorite perfumes and I hoped it would be similar to that. I doubt I’ll ever wear this fragrance. 2/10 for me.For the price, I’m willing to risk that I might have a miss from this brand. I ordered the dupe for Love Don’t Be Shy and am hoping it’s a good match because I love the original scent, but can’t justify the cost right now.

It's the same as Carnal Flower, just buy it!
This review is for the body oil roll-on. I included my review of the same scent in the perfume spray below. As for the roll-on, it smells like a Carnal Flower only much less projection because the oil is intended to have the scent close on the skin - and also applied before before spaying on the perfume - layering - makes the scent last longer. It is a lovely scent and true to the original - I have the original hair and body oil of Carnal Flower and thus CA creation is the same! I also have the original perfume. The scent of this dupe is the same - and I have a sense of smell that is very sensitive - I should really have been what they call "a nose" in the perfume industry. Too bad I didn't know it was a real job!Here's my review of the spray:I bought this based off of user reviews. They all gave this 5 stars for the smelling just like the perfume it us intended to copy.They were right!!This smells exactly like Frederick Malle Carnal Flower at first spray and long after first spray! As it melts into the middle notes it stays true to the original and then actually smells a bit nicer as it gets to the bottom notes. Something sharp in the original is toned down here (thankfully) so I say this is a winner all around! If you love Carnal Flower - you will love this more. Lasts long - I could still smell it on my skin the next day (more than 24 hours later) and it is lovely! The projection is a tiny bit less than equal to the original but that is good because perfumes shouldn't scream your arrival BEFORE you walk into a room!They also gifted me a refillable purse sized spray container (and it's very pretty) to fill up and take along! Although, you would only need to take it along if you will be gone a few days because this perfume lasts!I am now willing to try other perfumes from this company because it seems they care about quality. The set came in a beautiful box and it all made a beautiful high-end presentation. I tried the perfume oil as well, also wonderfully for layering. Not as much projection as the spray but that is the way it should be!This dupe has no strange smelling fillers or alchohols that ruin so many other dupes. This one will not be in the markdown bin at the dollar store - this perfume is a keeper! At these prices, enjoy it every day and not just on special occasions!I live the original - it is a marvelous scent that I had to have once I tried a sample. Only it was pretty pricey - CA perfumes have taken care of that and really knocked this one out of the park!Stop reading reviews and just buy it already!

Strong fragrance
I rated this at 4 stars because I didnt like the scent profile. However, the projection and longevity are fairly solid even with a small amount. If you are looking for tobacco/spice with a hint of vanilla, this one may be for you.

I’m blown away!
I just purchased the CA Perfume Fragrance oil inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540, and I’m blown away! The scent is absolutely divine—luxurious, elegant, and identical to the iconic Baccarat Rouge, but with a mind blowing low price. It has that same perfect balance of sweetness and warmth that lingers beautifully on the skin all day long.The packaging is also stunning. It comes in a sleek box and a nice glass body roll-on bottle that makes it feel so much more expensive than it actually is. It’s perfect for gifting; anyone would be thrilled to receive such a high-quality fragrance. Now I can spend my perfume savings budget on anything I want, haha!If you love Baccarat Rouge 540 or are looking for a gorgeous good quality scent that everyone around you will love, this is it! I can't recommend it enough!

Baccarat 540 is lovely
I've been sampling oils and perfumes for a while and each time I have gotten closer to finding the right one. Fair warning, Baccarat 540 might go out of stock if I buy them all because this is exactly what I was hunting down ever since I smelled it in Manhattan on someone who passed by me in Westfield shops. It has taken me a year of samples to figure it out. It's not too sweet, it's sexier than most. It turns a bit cherry on me though, but not your average sugary fruit cherry. I like it.It's more of an alluring and seductive scent. Mature and mysterious.This one is gentle on the senses than some that I've tried...Migraine sufferer approved.You will get stopped and asked what you are wearing.Never stop making this.

Disgusting
The aroma of this product is disgusting. I was highly anticipating it after reading rave reviews online and smelling the original perfume a few years ago in France. Wow was I disappointed. I will not be recommending this to any friends or family and have thrown the product in the garbage having broken out in itchy hives within 30 minutes of applying the product. I tried contacting the seller but surprise surprise they did not respond. I have brought from this manufacturer before other dupes & have had great success. This however is a huge failure. I will not be buying from them again.
