Violet Bouquet

Violet Bouquet by Afnan is a bold, intensely projecting amber-spice dupe that closely resembles Baccarat Rouge 540. It opens with a sharp, slightly rubbery, synthetic note that dominates the initial spray, creating a powerful and sometimes overwhelming presence. Over time, this note settles into a rich, syrupy amber and musk base layered with sweet floral and herbal nuances, evoking the luxurious depth of the original. The fragrance delivers extraordinary longevity and diffusion, with some users noting it lasts 8–10 hours on skin and up to a day on fabric. Its performance is particularly strong in colder weather. The scent is highly polarizing: some find it flawless and elegantly opulent, while others perceive its synthetic edge and aggressive sillage as irritating or medicinal. Despite this, it remains one of the most faithful and powerful BR540-inspired perfumes available.
