Pure Addiction
by Franck Olivier
Pure Addiction offers a convincing and affordable alternative to Baccarat Rouge 540, with its sweet orange opening and warm woody amber base creating a profile that feels natural and well-blended. Though not as bold or projecting as the original, it lingers on the skin for a moderate duration and delivers a subtle, intimate sillage—particularly noticeable in cooler weather. Many users describe it as indistinguishable from the original in scent DNA, especially for those who value the signature bouquet of rich praline, saffron, and white cedar without the premium price tag.
Pros
- +One of the most authentic and affordable alternatives to Baccarat Rouge 540
- +Naturally blended scent with a sweet orange opening and warm, woody depth

Cons
- −Longevity is moderate and not impressive, especially for those seeking lasting power
