ALT. FRAGRANCES Crystal No. 23 – Inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540, Unisex Perfume, Extrait de Parfum, Long Lasting Perfume for Men & Women with Jasmine, Amberwood & Cedar Notes, 100ml

Let me start by saying that ALT nails the scents and they truly do last all day! If your wife pulls you into the perfume section in every department store you need to make sure you check out ALT! The Mrs kept smelling the brand name of both of these scents everytime we went to a big store so I decided to see if ALT had their version of the scents. The first one I got was ALT’s version of born in Roma. It was a total hit as you can see the bottle is almost empty! So when the Mrs started smelling the baccarat rouge I knew exactly where to go and of course the 2ml bottle of Crystal was again an absolute hit now she can’t decide which one to wear! Needless to say ALT is a fantastic option for affordable and quality perfumes and colognes! We’re hooked and will continue to be regular customers!

I decided to buy this perfume because I wanted something with the style of Baccarat Rouge 540 but without spending so much, and the truth is that I was quite surprised. The aroma is sweet but not cloying, with that elegant and modern touch that feels "expensice". After a few minutes it changes a little and becomes warmer, like amber and soft on the skin, which I really liked because it is not a flat smell. The duration is good, in my case it lasts several hours and in the clothes even longer. It is not exaggeratedly strong, but it does leave a pleasant tail that is noticeable without being invasive. Something important is that it is really unisex, it does not feel very feminine or very masculine, so anyone can use it without problem. In addition, I have received positive comments when I use it, especially in outings or meetings. Obviously it is not identical to the original, but it is quite close and for the price it is totally worth it. This type of inspired perfumes exist because the original can cost more than $200, so it is a very accessible alternative

Arrived quickly. When you initially spray it, you smell alcohol. That eventually dissipates and overall a nice smell. I was complimented within a hour of wearing it. Not sure how it compares to the inspired by perfume. Overall happy with the purchase.

I’m genuinely impressed with ALT. Fragrances Crystal No. 23. The scent smells luxurious, warm, and slightly sweet without being overpowering. It has that high-end “you smell amazing” vibe that lasts all day on my skin and even longer on clothes. I’ve gotten multiple compliments wearing it, and people constantly ask what perfume I’m using. What surprised me most was how close it smells to Baccarat Rouge 540 for a fraction of the price. The packaging is sleek, the atomizer sprays evenly, and a little goes a long way since it’s an extrait de parfum concentration.

This perfume exceeded my expectations. The opening is bright with jasmine, and it settles into a warm amberwood and cedar base that feels elegant and addictive. The projection is strong enough to be noticed but still soft and wearable for any occasion. It lasts for hours on my skin and even longer on clothes. I appreciate that it works perfectly for both men and women. If you’re looking for a long‑lasting, high‑quality fragrance without the luxury price tag, Crystal No. 23 is a fantastic choice.

This stuff is incredible and smells SUPER sweet. I was worried when reading other reviews about how long it lasts or how it smells of alcohol. The alcohol scent fades in just A FEW MINUTES but I would recommend the normal on skin sprays then one spray on clothing which will help it stick around all day. The scent is almost candy like with a fruity citrus undertone. The bottle size is perfect for me as I like to keep a variety of colognes. I have never smelled Baccarat 540 so I cannot speak on how it compares but I can definitely vouch that this is probably the best smelling cologne I have ever owned. Perfect for a date night, not so much for everyday use! Hope this helps

As most, I’m a HUGE fan of “Baccarat Rouge 540” but don’t like frivolous spending on pricey perfumes, so after seeing videos & reviews on Tik Tok, FB etc I decided to it try for myself. I sprayed it in the air at first. The alcohol level was intense, then I smelled the fragrance. I then, sprayed it on my wrist & let it air dry. Same thing. It was a great amount of alcohol, then after settling for about 10-15 minutes or so, I began to smell the fragrance. It was soft, watered down, and a bit sweet but the alcohol overpowered the scent & nothing like Baccarat like the dramatic folks stated. Very overrated! I ordered the 3 oz size so it was a loss of fifty bucks. Pertaining to the other reviews in this group, I had no issues with packaging, the timing that it arrived was great. I will say this, the longevity of the smell was spot on as my husband and came home & still smelled it on me. He didn’t like the overly alcohol scent, but he did notice the fragrance so that’s why I gave it 3 stars.

I've been wearing this for roughly 2 weeks now and I'll keep my review short and sweet, just like this Baccarat dupe. I'll start by saying I own a bottle of the real MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum and I also have a sample size vital of the EDP of 540. The Alt version smells very close to the real deal, but it's an absolute waste of money sadly. The Alt version has a strong presence of alcohol upon initial application. Once the alcohol dissipates, it smells close to 540, HOWEVER, there is absolutely no longevity, sillage, or projection. In other words, absolutely nobody will even notice you're wearing this, which defeats the purpose. You can smell it on your skin if you hold your skin directly to your nose (a skin scent) but that is it. I've basically resorted to absolutely dousing myself in this stuff and I get the same result. After 10-15 minutes you are left with nothing but a skin scent. It's a shame really. I would have loved to save some money on a fragrance similar to 540 even if it didn't smell exactly spot on. But I can't even smell it on myself without taking a deep inhale directly on my wrists like a weirdo, so this is a miss for me. I know there are loads of ads endorsing this stuff floating around right now, but it's absolutely not worth the money. Save up for the real deal or just buy another fragrance you enjoy that might be a bit more reasonably priced than MFK

Totalmente descontenta, huele a alcohol, no tiene aroma nada parecido a lo que dice ser, es un robo!!
