Tinharé is a warm, gourmand fragrance with a subtle woody and vanilla core, accented by bright citrus and jasmine notes. It evokes a soft, creamy sweetness with a hint of bitterness from citrus peel, creating a surprisingly sophisticated and unisex scent that leans slightly feminine. The projection is moderate to intimate, with a linear scent profile that remains close to the skin, making it ideal for daily wear in spring and autumn. It is often described as a gentler alternative to Baccarat Rouge 540, lacking the sharp medicinal or sugary notes of the original — instead offering a more rounded, velvety vanilla-dominant drydown with a delicate floral touch. It performs best on clothing, where longevity extends beyond 8 hours, and it tends to blend well with body creams and other fragrances. While many appreciate its cozy, comforting warmth and minimalistic elegance, others find it dissolves quickly on the skin and lacks the bold presence of the original BR540. Some even detect off-notes like dryness or a strange musky bitterness, making it highly dependent on body chemistry.
