by Al Haramain Perfumes
Manège Rouge Al Haramain presents a soft, gourmand interpretation of Baccarat Rouge 540, offering a sweeter, more approachable profile that leans heavily into cotton candy and caramel accords. It opens with a bright citrus and saffron lift, marked by a green, mossy depth, and evolves into a creamy, slightly sticky sweetness that feels both elegant and indulgent. The drydown reveals a warm amber and saffron base, creating a feminine, opulent aura that captures the essence of the original without its sharp medicinal or plasticky facets. The scent performs moderately, with a noticeable sillage in the moderate to strong range, best experienced during autumn or winter evenings. It stands out as one of the most reliable and enjoyable dupe alternatives, particularly for those who find the original too intense or chemical in its initial phase.
