I love Armaf, they produce one of my favourite and most used scents of all time.
However this just doesn't do it for me...

'Untold' is undeniably masculine, actually it's the quintessential 21st century men's cologne. It's not thick or heavy, instead quite fresh and long lasting. The bottle is amazing as well! But the positives for me end there...

Untold has a very cheap quality to it, I feel like I can find this for $10-$15 at any drugstore, It also has a vinegar-esque dry down on the skin.
Not a banger in my books. Armaf has superior products to this, spend your hard earned coin elsewhere.

I have Le Labo’s Another 13, and this smells exactly like it. Armaf’s Untold has little to no difference in both the opening and the dry-down. However, with Another 13, the opening smells fresh and a bit alcoholic for some reason, but its dry-down is exactly like Armaf Untold. I’ve been looking for a dupe of Le Labo’s Another 13 for years, but most options on the market have a more prominent alcohol scent rather than the skin-like scent that Another 13 gives. If you’re looking for an alternative to Le Labo’s Another 13, hands down, this is the perfect one.

This surprised me more than I thought it would. I tried it on a 2 ml decant and used it for 2 days back to back, and this is very good. Like very good. The first day I wore it, it shocked me because every time i smelled it on me, i was like, damm, this is nice, whore it to do some stuff around the house. The second day i whore it to work and received 3 compliments, even though i had low expectations, one of them telling me, that this scent profile goes ideal with my personality. And that it leaves a nice scent trail everywhere i pass. Got a 10 ml decant to do more testing. Unless i find a really good deal on a full bottle, i won't buy it for now. I'm not like crazy in love with this DNA. Even though when ladies do like it. But dont get me wrong, this is good.

Wowowowowowowyyyy!!!

Okay so this is not Baccarat Rouge 540. BUT... it’s actually really nice. Like, surprisingly good. Good job, Armaf. :)))

I’m a big fan of BR540 because it glows, it sparkles, it has that quiet magic. You catch whiffs of it hours later and think “damn, that’s nice.” It’s classy without trying too hard.

Untold doesn’t play that game tho. This one goes off the second you spray it. No subtle shimmer cuz it’s like a perfume grenade. You spray it and boom, you know you sprayed Untold!! Then after a few minutes, you go a bit noseblind to it, which is kinda funny.

My batch opens with this slightly metallic edge (DONT KNOW IF YALL HAVE THAT TOO THO!) but deffy not in a bad way tho!! It actually gives it a more "masculine" vibe, almost like if MFK made a "Baccarat Rouge 540 Pour Homme" thingy. Then the drydown kicks in and it starts to feel way more like the BR540 I know and love: sweet, ambery, a little airy. Super pleasant.

Longevity? Really solid. On skin it lasts well, and on clothes? Wild. I walked past a jacket in my hallway like three days later and it was still going strong. There I was reminded that yeah, it does smell very nice.

All in all, no, it’s not a perfect BR540 dupe for those who search it, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a loud, fun, well-done take on the idea. And for the price? Kinda hard to beat.

I'm super suprised by just how great this smells, well done man fr!!

I have Baccarat Rouge 540 and Untold.

Untold is very similar to BR540 but it’s not quite the same experience (it also isn’t the same price!). I notice the most difference in Untold’s lack of “top end airy sparkling lightness” but it nails the smell and DNA. This is comparatively a touch more dense. It’s unapologetically and deeply sweet - like cotton candy and honey - which leans modern, youthful and very unisex (maybe even more feminine). I’ve seen guys pull this off well, (some layer it with a more masculine frag with good effects).

Another inexpensive BR540 dupe is Ariana Grande Cloud. My daughter has it and it’s the same DNA but even more feminine, youthful, maybe even sweeter.

My bottle of Untold did change during a maceration process. Mine mellowed, rounded and muted through the course of about 6 months. I actually liked the airy punch it had when I first opened it but it had a corresponding synthetic screechy-ness. It’s now lost that top end airy punch and the screech. It’s probably a good trade overall and makes this more wearable. If it was able to keep the good part of that airy punch (sillage) while presenting the more balanced composition it would be… BR540. :)

As a married dad of 3 in my fourties’ this isn’t my cup of tea for an everyday wear, but when things are casual, I like this as a change pace. It’s different from anything else I wear.

Overall, if you are a fan of this DNA you will like this. It’s a great clone. Buy it without hesitation.

For me, I don’t know if I’ll ever finish the bottle, but I respect what they’ve done here: 7/10.

Note: Tacky but quality presentation (imho). Heavy glass bottle. Above average atomizer.

This smell is otherworldly.

The opening is a beautiful, addictive, red sour patch kid but In scent form, then quickly eases into more of an airy burnt sugar / cotton candy warm Amber magical smell.

It’s also very powerful.. projected a couple metres for over 24 hours on my jacket!

People around love it too yesterday a woman said.. “you smell absolutely wonderful” from metres away, she followed with I “hope I didn’t sound like a perv” haha.

I prefer Untold to Baccarat, call me crazy but I think Untold smells sweeter and warmer, it’s honestly an angels scent.

My honest recommendation is - buy a decant of this before you buy the whole bottle. I blind buy it and omg worst decision. What you need to know is that even with maceration, once you spray this, it is just synthetic and nasty; however, after a while, within 30 seconds on your skin, it smells better. I still think that this is missing some notes and would be maybe 60-70% some resemblance. Not recommended and again, this is a taste thing, I didn't like it and my wife hated it.

Loved this one from the get go. I've never smelled BR540 but shout out to it for inspiring this wonderful scent! It starts off fresh and fairly sweet but with a prominent saffron note that never goes away. The dry down brings out the amber and rich wood notes, which combined with saffron and lingering gentle sweetness creates a warm creamy savory sweet wooden accord that is absolutely wonderful. Interestingly, I don't get the nose blindness that many others describe: I can smell this one for hours and hours and I love it. I get at least 12 hours of longevity from it and solid projection, so the performance is excellent. It leans a little masculine to me but not massively, and I'll wear this one all year except on the hottest of days. Couldn't be happier with this one.

As with anything that remotely resembles BR540, beware of nose blindness!!! It's very tough to rate this one when I can't smell it after the first initial whiff, if even that. When I do smell it though, it smells exactly like BR540, I'd say very close to a perfect 1:1 clone. While I do find the scent to be quite nice, and I've gotten a few compliments wearing this too, I barely ever use it due to the unfortunate fact of it not being very enjoyable to wear. Though I don't think everyone's completely nose blind to it like me, buy it with caution and I highly recommend to sample first.

I really enjoy this fragrance! I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it as a blind buy, since it has a distinctive character that might not appeal to everyone, but personally, I find it absolutely delightful. It’s one of the closest clones to Baccarat Rouge 540 that I’ve come across. The performance is impressive, especially considering the price point of around $30-$40. I received compliments even 5 hours after application, and the scent was still noticeable from a distance. As for longevity, it easily lasted over 12 hours on my skin. A fantastic option for those looking to experience the BR540 DNA without breaking the bank.

I never smell the OG BR540. This Untold need to macerate for 2 to 3 months. People may dislike what I say but my exp with the initial spray was very weak, synthetic, anosmic in 2 seconds and very awful. All I can smell is is the synthetic ambergris, fir resin and woods note.

I abandon it for like 2.5 to 3 months in my closet and spray it today and it smells great. I literally can smell the sweetness earthisness of saffron, jasmine and cedar which I cant get any before. This scent profile is very difficult for me to enjoy bc all I like is either fresh fruity citrusy limey or orangey type. But it grew on me within time.

The silllage is above average. But you do get a whiff sometimes when you move because this perfume's body has kinda airy fluffy and cloudy feeling to it. Its thin and subtle but its always there smudging your nose with its smell. The longevity is like 24hours stick on my cloth, very powerful.

*Arrgh…* I’m here to save your coins.
Not sure if these are bots commenting but as someone who owns baccarat and has tried every dupe out there possible I can tell you this smells more like Red Temptation elixir from Zara and not Baccarat.MFK’s is airy magical sweet and salty combo✨. Armaf Untold is suuuuuuper spicy 👹 Middle Eastern type of scent not even close.
Now, I can tell you no dupe comes close to the original (I know my bank acc doesn’t like it too) it’s the truth.

The first time I wore this, I got a compliment from a stranger in the frozen food aisle. She asked what I was wearing and then immediately asked if I had a girlfriend. I lied. I said yes. I panicked. That’s the power this scent has—it creates stories you weren’t emotionally prepared for.

The opening hits fast—saffron and jasmine rush in like someone just handed you the keys to a car you can’t afford. It’s smooth, loud, and slightly inappropriate, like wearing a silk shirt to a court date. For a few seconds, I felt like I owed child support in Monaco.

And then the projection kicks in. God help us all. This thing is nuclear. Two sprays and you’re the main character. Three sprays and you’re a war crime. You will go nose blind to it after twenty minutes, but don’t be fooled—that doesn’t mean it’s gone. You just can’t smell it because your olfactory system has waved the white flag. Everyone else around you? They’re in a hostage situation. One guy at work said it gave him a migraine, which I think is a compliment.

Eventually, the amberwood and ambergris show up—warm, sweet, and just refined enough to make people wonder what your net worth is. The drydown leans woodsy with fir resin and cedar, like you hiked a mountain in loafers and didn’t break a sweat. There’s confidence in this scent. Possibly delusion. But sometimes that’s what you need. FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT BABY!!!!

I received my bottle of CDN Untold a few days ago, and boy! what a fragrance. The difference between this and the famous BR-540 is so negligible. I used the 540 as recently as 2023, so I know what I'm talking about. I seriously doubt if there can possibly be a better dupe of BR-540 than this in terms of scent profile, sillage, projection, longevity and more strikingly PRICE. Please let me know if there's any, and I'll certainly try it out.

House of Armaf deserve their flowers for the great clones they're rolling out:
CDNIM for Creed Aventus
CDN Untold for BR-540
There could even be more dupes from that great house that I may not be privy to yet.

Edit (05/25/2025): I let this sit for about 2 months (only because I needed to use some of my Bleu de Chanel) and I'm completely blown away. For those criticizing this fragrance, it's either you have an awful sense of olfactory judgement or you got a bad batch. If you want to enjoy this better, let it macerate. PERIOD!

@babybrb my comment is not relative to this particular fragrance on the thread but you said you want a good saffron fragrance so I can recommend strong saffron by way of two that I have in my inventory. There are a couple that are saffron heavy and not sweet.... Golden Saffron by Myperfumes is 100% the spice you're mentioning squeezed into a bottle and the other is Amber Saffron, recently released by French Avenue, and this one does what it says on the tin, just the two main accords. Very strong saffron with a bit of calming amber and not for everyone but it hit the spot without maceration.

I have never smelled BCR540 but this and the Amber Rouge are close enough by the millions of reviews by people with way more refined noses than me.

I get the green scent in the opening but it’s pretty - the saffron is probably giving it a pretty smell. However, it’s definitely unisex leaning feminine, which I was surprised by (I would’ve thought this was going to be feminine only).

You can smell the ambergris because it’s got that depth to it. Anything ambergris/ambroxan and I am into it - it just works really well on my skin and ends up projecting and lasting for ages too. Never fecal, always warm.

I love this perfume. I didn’t get it for so long after smelling dupes on people and them smelling burnt tyres, but it’s lovely (no tyres) and I don’t care that I’ll smell like everyone else or that I’m late to the party. It’s going in my top perfumes.

It’s just warm enough and just clean enough for me to wear all day every day, all seasons, day or night.

I've been on a hunt for a good saffron scent. My favorite is the Crystal Saffron by Matiere Premiere due to its straightforwardly simple, clean saffron scent. But the price tag holds me back a bit.

I don't own BR540, thus I can't compare to it but man oh man, this fragrance is comparable to the Crystal Saffron but more complex. The dry down is nearly identical to Crystal Saffron.

I blind bought this out of curiosity because I've been hearing about Armaf quite frequently. This fragrance doesn't disappoint. I had one spray before I hit the gym to test its longevity. I sweated a lot during my training. Came home and still smelled it on my wrist when I was typing on my laptop.

Good value, well blended scent profile. Definitely recommend!

This perfume is liquid gold, I tell you. The opening is a blast in your face not all will like it but only lasts like a few seconds but thereafter Wow....it's overly syrup sweet but in a good way, it's musky and woody quite linear but that's how you want that BR540 DNA cotton candy sweet aroma all around you. I get a pineapple smell, probably the sweetness combined with the musk. This perfume is very strong and projects a lot. This is one of my favorites. This won't come off from skin easily.

If you would go to someone that isn’t familiar with br540 and let him smell them side by side he would probably say that the armaf is the original one.
It’s 1/1 br540 but much more rich and has way more projection.

It is less airy the br540 but overall it is a really good smell that in my opinion is even better then the original.

Longevity is also a big aspect with the br540 Both me and my girlfriend barely get any (it literally disappears from her after 1h)
But with the armaf we both get 24h+ as a skin scent and at least 6-8 of a good projection

Amazing price altho it does feel wrong that it’s so cheap and smells expensive :)

Smell 10/10
Projection 9/10
Longevity 10/10
Value for money 10/10

The smell is the same profile as BR 540 but there a big difference’s as well. Where BR is airy, and light but with huge throw this one is the BR DNA with combat boots on. It is much, much more wood focused and dark whereas BR is far more oak moss and saffron forward. There is also that musk found in Middle Eastern fragrances ever present here while absent in the OG. It’s sweet in that burnt sugar feeling but that get a little stomped on by all that smoky wood. The projection is nuclear. Even though it’s much more woody and strong it’s really quite nice.

Update: After wearing this more I’ve found that the chemical musk smell dies away very fast on the skin and becomes more sweet but still very woody. I’ve layered this with Girl of Now a very almond, sweet fragrance and makes this fragrance so much more feminine. I actually like this combination as much as Baccarat.

The hype is real.
Just got my bottle, first it's absolutely luxurious packaging, love the rhinestone details even on the box its in. The bottle itself is stunning, it changes colours depending on the light, with same rhinestone details on it. The magnetic cap is sturdy and secure, and the bottle is thick heavy glass.
A lot of reviews say it needs time to macerate but upon even the first spray it smells amazing, sugary sweet cotton candy. Im not getting any woodyness and i was afraid of the jasmine note because i don't love it and it can be overpowering but here, i can detect it but it adds a nice foil to the sugar. There is also a peppery note i sometimes catch whiffs of isolated from the sugar, like a green pepper or jalapeño. It’s very interesting and addictive, and catches me by surprise.

It is an almost identical BR540 dupe but more feminine, less dense. Its airy, bright crystal sugar. I smelled it side by side w my Baccarat and i actually prefer Club De Nuit more? If you like the complexity of BR and that slight dentist office bubble gum latex gloves smell then youd be able to tell the difference. But if you just want the sweetness of cotton candy, spun sugar bubble around you then CDNU is AMAZING!
And for the best part, the rumours are true, this thing is nuclear! The projection is enough to fill an entire house and it's here to stay, it's been 2 days and 1 shower and my house still smells like BR just from 3 sprays in the air, and i still catch whiffs of it on myself. And you get all that just for $35.
As much as i love and cherish my tiny bottle of BR540 i got for $200 I see no need for it anymore. Club De Nuit Untold is even better for the fraction of the price. Im definitely looking forward to how it evolves overtime, but even at first spray this has been the best blind buy purchase im so impressed.

Just please 1 spray and walk through it otherwise you’ll be choking everyone including yourself out.

(Tune into Voir Dire Podcast if you’re into reality tv and pop culture)

A rich, deep blend of saffron, ambergris, and woody notes, with a warm, spicy undertone. It’s smooth, luxurious, and highly concentrated, making it perfect for evening wear and colder weather.

Dupe of: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 – shares the same sweet, airy, and slightly metallic amber-woody DNA.

Scent: Sweet, woody, amber-heavy, slightly spicy
Projection: Strong, with a long-lasting, diffusive trail
Longevity: 10–12 hours
Bottle: Sleek gold design with an opulent, high-end feel
Overall: 9/10 – A luxurious, long-lasting BR540 dupe at a fraction of the price

Disclaimer: My bottle of Club de Nuit Untold is from 2024. I have let it macerate for 3 months before this review. I personally do not own a bottle of Baccarat Rouge 540, but have smelt it from a friend on my own skin for comparison.

Opening:

Like most clone fragrances from the Middle Eastern brands, the opening is rather harsh and screechy - think of it like the opening gives your nose a little tingle. I understand that there is supposed to a metallic property to the original but when I tried BR540 the metallic feeling wasn't harsh and screechy like this. I also do feel that the saffron note in Untold is more prominent I would say overly dominant in the opening as compared to the original.

Drydown:

The drydown of Untold is closer to the original than the opening. The ambery desserty accord is pretty close when smelt in the air. You would have to be pretty familiar with Baccarat Rouge 540 to be able to tell the difference in the air. Now if you were to bring your nose up to your skin you would be able to tell the difference side by side for sure. I would say Untold is sweeter than BR540, and on an already sweet DNA it is quite overwhelming.

Performance:

As to performance, Untold is a room filler. I have been told by my girlfriend that she can smell me before she sees me. Because of this and combined with the scent profile I am a bit self conscious to wear this outside in public. But if that is what you're looking for then this may work to your advantage.

Conclusion:

Untold is about 1/10 the price of BR540. It smells harsher and less balanced than the original but the scent DNA is pretty on point in the air. The performance is very powerful so definitely keep that in mind on when and where you are wearing this and go easy on the sprays. If you are after the BR540 scent profile while on a budget this is a good alternative.

I have been exploring many takes on the BR 540 scent profile. I am really in love with this one. Though this one does also feature a saffron driven screechiness, it does settle down to a BR 540 quality. There is a pine like freshness to it, which actually does compliment this scent. This is also what I would consider a beast mode fragrance. I would almost call it eternal, but not quite.

In my opinion, it gives you good value for the money, and I can see men, or women pulling this off. I can in a way see this being similar to AG Cloud a few minutes after first application. After that, Cloud goes into a more of a marshmallow like scent while this one stays true to something similar to the first application of Cloud, but with an evergreen kick to it..

Do go easy on the trigger, especially during warmer months. This one will choke people out. Don't assume that just because you can't smell it, that it is no longer there. This one is easy to go nose blind to due to the ambroxan. You will catch strong whiffs of it throughout the day. Trust me when I tell you that reapplication is likely not needed due to this reason.

Smells incredibly similar to Amber Oud Gold Edition to me. Also, I sprayed this one time in the air upstairs and I could smell it all over the house for three days. I am not kidding when I say the best way to apply this is to spray it away from your body and walk through the mist. Literally any more than that and not even a hot shower will wash this off of you. I cannot understate the staying power and projection this gives. The only thing I have that’s equally powerful is the Amber Oud Gold Edition. That said, it does smell wonderful. Most scents tend to lay down spicy on my skin, so this is a really nice change of pace with the sweetness and fancy dessert-like quality it has. The floral and woody notes are there as well, though, so it isn’t like candy or sickly sweet. It’s just so powerful I haven’t worn it out of the house but a few times.

Never smelled rouge 540 but I've heard this is similar. I like it, but don't love it. It's one of my lighter scents so it's good here and there. Others love it though. I get complimented every time I wear it.

Scent profile: like I said, it's lighter. No musk, tobacco, leather, or any other of those heavy masculine notes. Don't let the application fool you, it'll smell good at dry down. Lots of jasmine initially, which is what makes it kinda sweet, and it doesn't really die off like top notes usually do. After 2 hours, it'll be balanced enough to pick up the resins and cedar quite well.

Performance: probably my best performing fragrance. (I have 21 in my collection) 4 sprays lasts 10hr before becoming a skin scent. My body is warm so people can smell this from 10ft away.

All in all, great option for anyone, man or woman. If you have sensitive skin like I do, it'll burn a little on your neck. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WEAR THIS TO THE GYM! YOU WILL FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON FIRE!

This is an AWSOME dupe. One of the best out there imo. I think it outperforms and is more balanced than the original for only 35$

Its Baccarat Rouge but a little sweeter on the floral slide. But you still get that woody/earthy and floral mix with saffron that just smells so good. Its super unique and different compared to many designer fragrances

Smells like a rainbow 🌈. Sweet at the top but as you descend and it dries it gets more earthy and woody

Great unisex scent. If you like floral and earthy. Or if you like how saffron smells or amber scents i highly recommend 👌

No, this is not exactly BR540. The sweetness here is more flat as opposed to airy and refined like with BR540. While the longer this is on you the more you’re going to get that pine-y aspect really coming through. Once again, that’s not the case with BR540 or even with most of its dupes. However, the DNA’s are very similar, similar enough to be a passable “dupe” without seeming to be aiming for identical. The performance is also solid, staying on your skin for quite a while but the projection becomes meh after around a half hour.

I might disappoint someone when I say this is slightly close to BR540, yes. However, this perfume definitely has more depth, more sillage, lasts waaayyy longer, and it's waaayy cheaper. This is it's OWN name and I stopped comparing it to BR540 as time went by. This is a holy grail! For something that projects so well, with v amazing mixes of notes, this can definitely be your next signature scent. I stand on it!!! I love love loveeee Untold! 9.2/10!

Yes its a dupe to BR-540.
Let me clarify I love this fragrance. I must say this frag is more popular than BR540 and formed its own identity, considering someone stopped me and said they own the same scent and named asked if im wearing Club de Nuit Untold. The performance is worth it, although initially I get an alcohol scent on first spray and it mellows out to amber, metallic, with the sweet cotton candy fragrance we all enjoy. Club de Nuit wins because it turns up the performance higher than the branded fragrances. Still needed around 8 sprays to smell it for a 10-hour work shift. Overall 9.5/10.

Love this fragrance, I also have Zara Red for Him, and bought this one because I thought they will be the same, they are not! I had compliments from people around me. People not even close to me can smell this fragrance even after commuting for almost 2 hours and became nose blind to it. One piece of advice is to not overspray, it smells good for sure, but it will choke the people around you if you spray too much. One of my strongest fragrances and longevity is easily 8-10 hours on skin and around 3 hours of projection.

A most strange perfume as in for me I easily get noseblind. I can though smell it faintly from time to time but it is a low key smell of saffron, woods, slight touch of sugary pineapple, cotton candy esque light and airy and very intoxicating and attractive like some kind of afrodisiac juice. It's pretty linear although it is hard to notice all the facets due to just going noseblind extremely fast if mentally searching for the smell. I think this is a perfume you can use around the year if the temperature is 20 or less celsius and the heat in control due to the airiness and "lightness".

The sprayer is alright although I noticed ARMAF Club de Nuit sprayers are a hit or miss. My CDNIM from 2020-2021 has what seems a pressured sprayer and no leak. This one is decent and no leak on first spray, my Iconic sprayer has small leak with first spray like it tries to build upp pressure before second spray and same with CDN Elixir. Bottle looks elegant and classy. Reminds me of velvety 1900 era style, high class underground bar.

As for the sillage I can't say but the projection is MASSIVE and so is the concentration of the perfumes molecules in the air. Let me explain, I have 2 professional air quality sensors in my room. All I had to do was remove the cap (already tested the perfume 2 weeks ago) for my air quality monitors to alert me that the VOC value went from good (0.25) to "dangerous" (5.5) for sensor 1 at 1 meter distance and 4.5 for sensor 2 at 2 meters distance. Obviously not dangerous for real as I know it is the perfume but the air quality sensor just reads concentration of gases in the air be it good or bad. No other perfume I have has even come close to trigger the alarm not even CDMIN, Joop Homme or other. So what I want to say is that although you barely smell it it is projecting and projecting with a brutal INTENSITY.

My review is based on smelling it 2 weeks after first test. It has evolved as I first mostly only smelled saffron/pineapply airy intoxicating scent. Batch production date is 09/2024.

Addition: After 15 minutes and just having the cap off for about a minute the VOC is still around 2.15. I assume if you spray clothes or such the smell molecules might stay for months even if you can't smell it. This thing is just a notch below weapons grade level!

I've read about Baccarat Rouge and wanted to experiance it for myself. Unfortunatly there are no retailers in town that stock it. A sales person at Dillards told me they can order it and happened to have a sample I could smell. Turns out it's a familiar scent I've experianced in nightclubs typically worn by women. I wondered how a scent I've assumed was a "stripper" purfume could be so highly praised. I just kept smelling and it hit me, Baccarate Rouge is sex in a bottle. It's intoxicating and seductive as a scent could possibly be. I was hooked. I couldn't see myself wearing it so paying $220 for 1.2oz wasn't appealing. There's a lot of dupe choices but they all have negative claims of some sort. I settled on Untold and I am not dissapointed! There's no need for me to look elsewhere. Any negatives people say in reviews, I have no idea what they're talking about.

Oh yeah she's a keeper...
I bought this back in October with high hopes after watching countless reviews and reading everything I could about finding the best Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe. I wanted something with that same addictive scent profile and wear time but without the price tag that made my wallet cry. When this finally arrived, I was ready for a love-at-first-spritz moment. But instead, I felt so let down.

Right out the box, the opening was very sharp and metallic and flat, with this unexpected blast of pine that felt almost cold and bracing, like fresh evergreens. It completely threw me off, and I couldn’t pick up any of the lush saffron, jasmine, or amberwood that I’d been craving. It didn’t feel balanced or cozy, and I hated how far off it seemed from what I’d envisioned. Disappointed, I stashed the bottle away and decided to let it macerate for a couple of months.

Fast forward to after the holidays, when I gave it another chance—and wow, it was like a completely different fragrance. The sharp edges had softened, and what emerged was a sweet, warm, and woody blend that felt so much closer to what I had been searching for. The jasmine is delicate and floral, paired with the creamy richness of amberwood and a soft touch of saffron that adds just enough complexity. And while the pine and cedarwood are still present, they don’t come forward until the dry down, appearing at the very end to ground the fragrance in a way that’s satisfying.

One day, I decided to test it side by side with BR 540—one on each side of wrists and arms And honestly? While there’s a slight nuance, the differences are minimal and only noticeable if you’re really paying attention. Maybe BR 540 has a little more refinement in its blend, but Untold holds its own and gives you that same warm, sweet, and airy aura.

As for performance, Untold is impressive. It easily lasts 7–8 hours on my skin and clings to clothes for days. I even catch faint whiffs of it in my hair after washing it—when I’m blow-drying, the warmth brings the fragrance back to life, creating this soft, yet powerful amberwood smell that makes you want to keep smelling it. It’s definitely a “beast,” so I’d recommend being light-handed with your sprays—but then again, it’s hard to resist going in heavy when it smells this good.

There’s a small part of me that still wants BR 540 in my collection, maybe just to say I have the original. But honestly? This does everything I need it to and more. It’s a stunning dupe that lets you experience the magic without breaking the bank, and for that, I’ll happily keep reaching for it.

I don't know if this fragrance needs time to develop since this perfume is brand new, but as it is it is not for me. It kind of reminds me of how my clothes smelled the day after I went to a club in the late 90s (a mix of sweet perfume and stale cigarette smoke). I mean if this was what the makers were after (Club de Nuit untold) then they absolutely nailed it lol. I will go back to this fragrance after some time and see if it smells any better. The silver lining is the longevity on the fragrance is very good so if you love it then you'll be happy :o)

smells just like the real thing

when you first get it, it will smell like straight alcohol. but give it time and it's the closest clone on the market

i first smelled br50 on my friend who got it. i liked it but i wasn't into sweet fragrances at the time so i didn't think anything of it.

fast forward to me smelling it again and i loved it. i wanted a bottle but i didn't want to copy my friend because me and him have an unspoken rule of not to buy the same one

i decided to get this one just to have and it's great for a dupe

would recommend if you don't wanna spend 200

I make an attempt to do business with people I like. It's not always possible but, for the most part, I've succeeded in doing to. Yes, this is an analogy for "UNTOLD"...I purchased about months agol and realize that many colognes need a period of maceration to come into their own. In essence, I have tried to make friends with this cologne. I find it extreme with only 2 sprays. Okay...I'll spray once . I didn't like it on my skin but, that may be my fault...Ph could be off and so I went for clothes. Danger , Danger ! It will remain on clothes for days. So, back in the maceration locker to see if mid way through Spring, it might come out of that proverbial oven a new scent. Definitely try this before purchasing!

This one is hard to explain. I don't think it's a complete ripoff of BR540 or if it's trying to be, but it's in the same ballpark. It's missing a certain texture if that makes sense. It's more of a vibe than an actual scent. It's kind of like a dream sequence, where you're sitting poolside in a strange place you've never been before, and a stunningly beautiful woman is trying to feed you cotton candy from a old wooden barrel while wearing rubber gloves. You know it's too strange to be happening so you realize it's a dream and wake up. That's what this is. It's a strange mental journey.

Having said that, this is a great fragrance and I feel anyone could wear this young or old with confidence. Great value from certain vendors. 10/10 would recommend.

An amazing clone of Baccarat Rouge, for an amazing price.

The saffron really kicks you in the face, in a good way. This is some great stuff, compliment king, lasts a long time and the drydown is absolutely heavenly from Untold.

One of the more masculine clones of Rouge, but still wearable and loved by women. Definitely something worth adding to your collection.

Oh, and the bottle is amazing. Damn near pearlescent, color changing glass. Comes equipped with the heaviest, full metal cap you'll ever see. Rhinestones are a nice touch, and you gotta unstick the medallion so it can freely move around for added swag.

I want to love this fragrance but I probably won't be picking it up again after the bottle I got is done. It's got a nice soft opener, and then I quickly go nose blind to it. The cotton candy analogy is pretty spot on for the opener. I have had the bottle for a month or so, so I'm going to let it mascerate over the winter months and see how it matures later. I will say I can smell it on my clothes days later after spraying it. So it definitely has longevity and the base woody notes are absolutely fantastic. I just wish I didn't go nose blind to it so quickly.

I would love to tell you how this smells. But all I smell is alcohol. Purchased this on December-14-2024. Bottled date was 10-2023. I’ve let it sit and still nothing but Alcohol, anyone else have this problem or know anyone who has this issue. Is it me and my body chemistry or did I get a bad bottle. Here the thing bought Al Haramain Ruby at the same time with a date of 10-2024. And this also nothing but alcohol. Bad luck on 2 different bottles or is it me.?????

Personally, I absolutely love Untold. I've gotten so many positive complements from it, and it LASTS a long time! The only downfall is that it's way too loud in certain areas. It's guaranteed to make your whole house smell like BR540 if you spray just in one room. To me, I'm perfectly fine with that. But when it comes to some people (especially older audiences), they might dislike the sweet smell of it, and they could also have allergy reactions to it as well.

Pros: It lasts a very long time, and it has great projection. You will get a bunch of (mostly positive) complements. It's unisex, meaning both genders can wear this without being called out. The bottle is a decent size, and you can get a good few years out of it. If you like sweet woody amber fragrances, you will like this one.

Cons: The fragrance can be overbearing if sprayed more than 3-4 times. Most people go nose blind to it. It can mess with your sinuses, if you have sinus problems. Some people (mostly older audiences) might dislike how loud and sweet it is. In the Summertime heat, the smell is just unbearable. It's a lot more manageable in cooler weather. If you tend to sweat a lot, this might not be for you.

Amazing.

The smell is really good and sweet but definitely unisex in my opinion. This is a fragrance that just everyone will like, except if you dislike sweet fragrances. After a week of wearing it, I got a good amount of compliments because of how mass appealing it is.

When I first used it, I thought that the performance was terrible. After seeing a few reviews, I realized that it was just because it causes nose blindness, so be careful not to overspray.

Yet another middle eastern super-amber heavy fragrance that ruins anything good about it.. if you're sensitive at all to heavy amberwoods this one you cannot get off your skin. I don't know why many middle eastern dupes have to ruin fragrances by making them beast mode by loading up on ambermax/ambrocenide or whatever it's called, sorry if you're looking for a BR540 dupe , keep looking..
There are lots of good ME frags that don't use it though but too many that do.

This is way to sweet and gives me a headache after just smelling it for one second, men who can pull this off tell me how this is the most feminine club de nuit of them all and I have my friends smell it and they say it smells like cologne, there might be somthing wrong with my nose but be aware that its really synthetic and extremely sweet artificial flower smelling although if you love the dna and the way it smells, armaf did an amazing job copying br540 it just is really hard to like and get people to agree if it’s masculine or feminine

This really does smell like Baccarat rouge 540. Not a 1:1 dupe but it’s similar. I’ve smelt better B540 dupes so this one isn’t that impressive. This one smells a bit more like Ariana grande cloud then BR540 i think?

Score: 7/10

EDIT:
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO:
- BR540 smells more sweeter, is stronger, doesn’t have that earthy/green note that’s in club de Nuit
- Club De Nuit smells more earthier / has a “green” type of note in it, isn’t as strong. In the dry down it smells a lot more like baccarat though

Which smells better?
Baccarat rouge of course is that even a question.

It's like a more unisex/less sweet version of BR540, the scent is incredibly strong to the point of having to wash it off more than a day later to get the scent off me. Bought not too long ago but it was just too strong to actually wear on my skin more than once, like I was smelling it so consistently that I was developing a headache. Ended up giving it to a friend who wasn't bothered by the strength and it smells way better on her too, definitely test this scent on your skin before buying as it seems to really depend on a persons skin chemistry

I initially wasn't a fan of this one when I first bought it, it smelled like wet construction paper, but now that I've let it sit for a few months (bought in august of this year) and it's finally gotten really good. I love the opening, it smells a little fruity to me, like apples maybe. The dry down is very clean and pleasant, kind of woody. Great value and last pretty well, and the bottle is rather pretty. I think this might be my favorite club de nuit fragrance.

BR540 is one of my favorite fragrances, and I adore the handful of quality dupes I own, but this definitely isn't one of them. My bottle was produced in December 2023, and I received it on September 3rd this year. Despite letting it hang out in a dark drawer for 2+ months, it's still so harsh! It's overwhelmingly piney/metallic, synthetically sweet and just downright cheap smelling. It's like a bad dupe of BR540 and a bad dupe of Another 13 had a baby. It also leans toward the very masculine side of unisex IMO. If you're looking for a more masculine take on BR540, both Snif's Sweet Ash and Fulton and Roark's HWY 190 are far superior, smoother alternatives.

Smells like a fruitier red version of that effervescent, minty-metallic smell that they pump into designer outlets at the mall. Some woods and maybe a bit of salt (ambergris?) in there too. Unisex leaning feminine.

I like it so far, seems like good value although I haven't smelled BR540. Pretty loud and high quality smelling even before maceration, I understand how one could go anosmic to this. Will come back to update should maceration change anything.

Wow! be careful with this one. I only did 2 sprays on my clothes and 2 on my skin but I am getting a lot of compliments. I usually wear fragrance for myself, but its nice to wear something that other people will also enjoy. Next time i wear this out to work I will limit it to 2 sprays though.

The quality of this fragrance is amazing! This is definitely going to be a staple in my wardrobe. I love it

4th day wearing it. The metallic note is coming through when i sniff myself. A bit of anosmia creeping in because i dont smell it as strong as I did before

EDIT: I can confirm that the nose-blindness to this fragrance is very real for me and the people i live and work with. After 6 months of use (not daily but pretty regularly), no-one in my office and home can smell this except just after it is applied. I do get compliments from strangers when i am out and about though. So i will sadly give this a break for a bit.

OK well, for this perfume, I bought this perfume from one of online reputable websites in my country around mid of May 2024. The scent that I tried the first spray was um ok good but the projection was not that great. I stopped using it for around six months but I am still keeping the bottle of CDN untold in the drawer of my bedroom without spraying any single spray for around six months. I could do this because I have other perfume brand names such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, and some Mith perfume. Last week I missed it and I took it from the drawer to spray, it was such a wonderful projection and I can guarantee that the performance is much better than the last six months (first time that I bought it). In addition, I also had a chance to smell the scent of MFK 540, in my humble opinion, I can say that CDN untold is around 75% dupe of MFK 540. The funny thing about this CDN untold is that sometimes as a person who sprayed this perfume in the morning, one cannot smell it but the people around you can detect or smell this perfume easily. Nevertheless, some reviewers said that 90% the same which I do not think so.

Club de Nuit Untold is a clear attempt at capturing the essence of Baccarat Rouge 540, with almost identical notes. It's missing hedione from its heart notes, and sugar, ambroxan, and seamoss from its base. Despite this, the accords are identical save an added leather accord in CdN. As with BR540, I don't find this "sweet" as most people do. There is a sweetness to it, but it's more of a dark, charred, burnt syrup than a sugary gourmand. Aside from the disgusting bottle, for £50 you can't go wrong. A fair midpoint between Zara's Red Temptation and BR540 itself. Unoriginal, overdone, but clever.

It smells just like red strawberry licorice twists, according to my memory. You could say it's a darker/deeper cotton candy smell, but it's not a true cotton candy smell unfortunately. Nevertheless, it's very nice and yummy. Amazing unisex scent. Extreme projection and longevity. This is from an in-store tester bottle, so probably a well-macerated bottle. Wearable all seasons, including summer days when it's not too hot, though in winters I'd recommend something more warm and vanilla/cognac/toffee to truly have peak fragrance game - this goes for both men and women.

The deep dry down of this stuff is really fantastic. Piney, resinous, sparkly, fresh.

The original BR540 was, for me, a great scent, truly unisex, but not so mind blowing as to warrant a purchase. While it wasn't too feminine for me to wear, it was too feminine to be worth a full bottle purchase, since I prefer more traditionally masculine scents and generally shy away from sweet scents in general. Just not squarely in my wheel house, despite enjoying it.

I've since tested a number of its clones that I bought for my fiancé, including Instant Crush, Ana Abiyedh Rouge, and Baroque Rogue, along with sampling Cloud. Each of these was dramatically too feminine for me.

Cloud; not even in the same ball park. Far too marshmallowy sweet. Maybe perfect for a teenage girl, but I wouldn't ever consider wearing it, for a man ever, or a woman above the age of 21.

Baroque, not awful, but poor longevity. A faint whisper of the true BR540.

Instant Crush I think makes an excellent choice for a woman, and might be an improvement on the original depending on what you're after. As a man, again however, this one was unwearable. This one is incredibly potent and when a drop of juice got on my hand it was inescapable for nearly a day. Guaranteed to be cloying for any sort of warmer weather. (above 60 F)

Ana A. Rouge was a different story. This was a noble attempt at the original, at a noble and impressive price point. As a woman seeking a clone, I might say this is perfect. It gets far closer than some more expensive options and if cloning any other scent would be more than sufficient as a dupe. This is the closest among those I've mentioned so far. A bit of fruitiness in the opening adds some small degree of approachability to the original, but it is a more or less faithful copy with commendable performance. One thing lacking though, is the resinous depth in BR540. This to me is where a lot of the unisex potential emerges out of what is otherwise a feminine leaning scent.

Enter Club de Nuit Untold- it captures BR540 perfectly. I would be hard pressed to even argue that it isn't the literal same juice. Incredibly potent. It performs identically to BR540. It is pungent, it disappears, it causes nose blindness, it lasts for 10+ hours. It's ethereal, sweet and medicinal in the opening, and resinous and forest-like in the deep dry down while retaining a sweet and soft edge. The deep dry down here is really something special and makes one wonder how this is possible at this price point? Maybe Sterling/Armaf are tossing some of their CDNIM funds at capturing a larger market share? It's so good that it's hard to imagine it being sustainable or profitable. Untold is the ONLY clone on the market I've tried that even begins to capture the freshness of the original.

If you want BR540, this IS BR540, and you can just buy this. If you want something close, Ana Abiyedh Rouge works for ladies seeking a good deal, and Instant Crush works for those seeking a sexier and more feminine take on the DNA. 20 and under crowd could look to Cloud. Untold is dramatically more unisex than those described above, and this provides added depth without added weight or heaviness.

For any man seeking BR540, I would have to say this is the only legitimate alternative to the original. Sugary sweet without lurching into vanillic or cloying territory. Unbelievably impressive, and probably the most accurate clone of any scent on the market. A stellar, almost comical value proposition for those interested in BR540; the original, or a clone.

At first, I thought I hated this. i’m wearing it today and really like it, but learned the hard way one must follow these rules or you will be closed in on all sides and crushed by this fragrance and will hate it very much:

Get some oxygen into the bottle by spraying some out and then let it sit a month or two. Gets much much much smoother and better with some time and oxygen.

Do not under any circumstances for any reason spray this near your neck or chest or hair or face, etc.….

Do not under any circumstance or for any reason, spray more than one spray and also be sure to do it a good distance away and walk through it. More than one spray and by the time you get to work, you will wish you were dead. And so will everyone else.

Sometimes I will spray it in the sink away from myself and then touch the tip of the atomizer to my wrist or bottom of my shirt. Just the residue remaining is enough, much more than that is too much.

If you follow these rules and keep it on a tight leash is actually enjoyable. It’s not a love but a solid like for me. I usually layer it with something sweet like berries or rose.

I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I personally love BR540 and was lucky enough to receive an original bottle of it last Christmas. However with its extremely hefty price tag I’ve been reluctant to splash out on a replacement. I’ve been after the perfect clone for a long time and I’ve definitely found it in this. It’s so close that my husband asked me if I was wearing the original today. Projection is enormous and the bottle is stunning, what’s not to like!

Piercing, projecting, alluring fragrance. One of the best I have in my collection. It’s so inviting, airy and addictive 9/10! Lasted 48 hours+ when I sprayed it on one of my t shirts in the closet. Could smell it the next morning on my skin and it was wafting up to my nose in the AMs when I sprayed before bedtime on the first day I purchased it. No more than 4/5 sprays on a night out otherwise you’ll get a headache. 1/2 sprays max on any other day. People across the room WILL smell you. Synthetic fragrances get too much hate, this gets all my love. Armaf never disappoints.

Just received it and it smells like nothing. I mean absolutely nothing. l live in Dubai and ordered directly from Armaf website so it's genuine for sure. I have the original BR540 both EDP and Extrait and I simply don't understand people saying Untold is the best dupe. Batches failures I am reading about on the internet seems to be a very real issue. It's like there is a pure water inside the bottle. Never experienced this with any perfume ever before.

Update 3 days later:

Out of disappointment I obviously rushed with my comment. Last night i sprayed on one a shirt while folded in the wardrobe and on my bedsheets. Today woke up to that gorgeous scent around me. Later forgot about this and when I opened the wardrobe and the scent instantly hit me again. The I sprayed on me and left for work. All day long been getting beautiful whifs. Just got back home and still can smell it on me. It's damn amazing! Still have no explanation what was that the first day with first sprays lol

Extreme disappointment.

I have been using CDNIM Pure Parfum and I have been in love with it since the first whiff from a decant bottle. I was so wowed by it that I purchased the full bottle and it has been my go to scent ever since. Then somewhere on Youtube I saw that BR540 was outselling Aventus by more than 2:1 margin and was the best selling niche fragrance on the market. So I assumed if its selling so well and selling more than Aventus lets give it a try. If not better it should be as good as Aventus.

I cant afford Aventus and I cant afford BR540. So I purchased a decant of the nearest clone (after some research) and got a decant of CDN Untold.

First 3 4 whiffs nothing. I could smell nothing. There was something metallic in the air but as far as something sweet, spicy woody notes go....nothing. Absolutely nothing. So I took a shower and then sprayed some more. Still nothing.

I dont know. People say this one grows on you. But for me that Wow factor I got from CDNIM (Aventus clone) was just missing. And if this is the closest BR540 clone (and many say) then I would keep miles away from BR540 too, Who would want to spend >350 USD to smell metal?

PS : Now its giving me a headache. I feel there is just too much hype around BR540 and its clones and they dont come anywhere near Aventus or its clones (forget the sales nos).

I ordered a sample of this along with BR540 to see how close they were. When I got the batch of samples I had forgotten my little plan. Smelling this one out of context I just thought it was a gross woody/spicy scent that I didn't like. I didn't connect it to BR540 at all. After remembering my plan, I tried them back to back.

Untold has a bit more "spice" to it than BR540. BR540 is more airy. I don't get any true sweetness out of either one, just a mild medicinal sweetness from BR540. I do get metallic notes from both. BR540 is a bit more chemical smelling to me, Untold is more on the natural spicy side. They do have a core similarity, to me they are about 80% similar. They are both very strong, unwearable for me personally. Of the two I definitely prefer Untold over BR540 but neither one is my style.

My experience with buying clones has not been super solid. A lot of clones are over hyped and raved about and just do not live up the expectation. However untold is absolutely worth every bit of praise. Literally wore it my first day and got a compliment from the lady at subway making my foot long sammich lol I walked up to the counter and she said “you smell so good”. It was at this moment I knew that this shit was the real deal. It’s loud and proud. Very happy with this frag.

This smells very much like br540. Controversial take because everyone raves on br540 like it is the best fragrance to exist, but I like this better. Br540 lacks something this has and I definitely think it's the punch of the delicate floral note of jasmine that adds that elegance. This fragrance is strong, it will last you a long time as one spray is all you truly need to be smelt from an arms distance. It lasts all day, all night, to the next morning. For the price of this fragrance to be asked "is that BR?", I think is worth it- dupe or not. I've unfortunately run out of this fragrance and have moved onto better unisex scents like Jazz Club, but highly recommend this.

You must buy this fragrance on value alone. It literally lasts all day. It smells way more expensive than what it is. It gets compliments from both men and women. My wife feels comfortable wearing and I also feel comfortable wearing it.

I would say only one thing negative, do not wear this in the heat of summer. It projects so strongly once your skin heats up that it can get overpowering.

This is the most powerful performer in my arsenal and you can take a look at my arsenal.

Simply amazing. Just screams Unisex fall spicy flowery fragrance. It doesn't smell bad at all in my opinion, one of my peers said it was one of the fragrances he smelt that "don't stink". I am a huge fan of this fragrance and would recommend to anyone. As Jeremy Fragrance said; "I want to lick the skin of the [Woman or Man] that's wearing this perfume"

I really love the flowery notes of this and the slight spice smell i believe is from the saffron. Metallic can throw off some, but when the fragrance dries off it goes a little.

The best performing fragrance in my collection yet, everyone in my household knows when i spray it. Smells on me after a hard day of school.

HOLE-E-SHIT! Let me start with m I’ve sampled BR540 a few times. Absolutely love it. I’ve owned a bottle of amber oud rouge for a few years now and thought it was the bees knees. Then came along Armaf… Armaf has outdone them all I believe. Is it EXACTLY 540? No. Is it the same quality? Of course not. Is it a MONSTER performer? HELL YES! I’m talking 24 hour fragrances. And not just a faint skin scent. 10-12 hours in and this stuff is still very much radiating off my skin. So, if you’re in the market for the best 540 dupe then look no further. I got mine on TikTok Shop for $39 w/ free shipping and it showed up in 3 days.

Just got this, will 100% let this macerate for a month or so.

Right now (in the cap) (+first ever time smelling a unisex frag) i smell something really mind boggling. There's some feminine but i could see the masculinity in this. I don't dislike it, i think it smells hella cool. Bought this as a fall fragrance.

Currently my mom's least favorite, but i will have this as a guilty pleasure for now. Will see how people around me think about it!

WHOEVER SAID THIS IS THE CLOSEST DUPE TO BR540 NEEDS JAIL TIME

just my opinion ‼️
if ur gonna buy this bc of tiktok pls don’t blind buy it smell it first!!! as a chronic br540 wearer i almost blind bought this and holy. it smells SO masculine on me and unfortunately for me it’s VERY long lasting for two sprays on the wrist. sickeningly strong. it’s 105ml too you’d be tied down 4L. just buy the ariana grande cloud 😭

I'm not sure how to feel about it at the moment, I can't really feel any sweetness on the first spray (actually, some sweetness could have made it work better) and feels oddly synthetic and metallic on my skin. The drydown is a little bit better, with woody notes mixed with some slight sweetness (slight).

I haven't tried BR540, but I wonder if something so expensive smells like... this.
I will let it macerate for a bit, because I have heard so much about it I refuse to believe it actually smells like a hardware store.

I waited a long time to purchase this one, but I finally did 2 months ago. When I received it I pumped 10 sprays out of the bottle and put it on a shelf in my closet. My bottle was manufactured on 12/16/2023. The only thing I am getting from this fragrance is ambergris which completely overpowers the other notes. It's quite animalic, salty and off putting. Ambergris (whale sperm) can be nasty if it's not supported with sweetness or something pleasant to balance the fragrance. I will leave it in my closet to macerate for several
months and check it each month by pumping out two or three sprays. I own Ana Abiyedh Rouge by Lattafa which is a decent "dupe" IMO this does not stand up to Lattafa's version and it does not come anywhere close to BR540, because there is ZERO SWEETNESS here. Most of the reviewers on Fragantica state that this is very sweet, so I am perplexed. Hopefully it will get sweeter (and better) with time. Fingers crossed! 🙂 I will update in a month or two. Keep smelling gorgeous everyone! ❤️

***UPDATE: Today is October 15, 2024. I have had this bottle macerating in my closet for 5 months now. It has not become sweeter or better in any way. I would never EVER wear this fragrance. I get a salty foul scent more than anything else which I am certain is the ambergris (whale sperm note). I will give it two or three more months then Make a decision to keep or declutter. I will update then.***

*SADLY THIS HAS TO GO. After 6 months this scent is still TERRIBLE (almost rancid) MUCH TOO MUCH WHALE SPERM. I wouldn't wear this one time even if I was paid $100! I doubt I can find someone to give it to. If you want it, contact me and I'll ship it to you. (You would have to pay the shipping fee) Keep smelling gorgeous everyone! ❤️

I absolutely adore this fragrance!! Is it a PERFECT dupe for BR540? In my opinion, no. I say this because personally, I actually prefer it. I find BR540 to be a liiiittle too sweet for my liking, and a bit nauseating... vs Untold, which wears beautifully and does NOT make me sick. For the most part, I typically go for the OG fragrance over the dupe. However, in this case... there is just no need, I like Untold SO much better!! Love that I am able to enjoy the iconic baccarat fragrance, in a way that is better suited to my preferences. The scent profile feels pretty much identical, but like I said, something about it just feels smoother and less sweet! I also absolutely adore the entire line of Club de Nuit bottles... I've got 3 of them and they look absolutely stunning sitting on my vanity together!! Love the reflective multi-color on Untold, though it does get a lot of finger prints on it. All and all, the value proposition here in incredible. I'd recommend this fragrance to anyone, including those who do not prefer gourmands, such as myself.

*a friendly note to those who hate this fragrance*... if you just received your bottle and you don't like the way it smells, let it sit in your closet for a couple of months!! Arabian perfumes in particular are notorious for needing to macerate... tuck that puppy away and forget about it, and circle back down the road and see what you think then!! If you're feeling it smells like "gasoline", or "alcohol" or, "paint".... it is more than likely a maceration issue!!! Happy sniffing! <3

Beautiful dupe of BR540. In a sea of BR540 haters, I still love it. The OG is much more airy and light than CDN Untold. Some reviews mention menthol/metallic notes and truthfully they're not wrong. However these notes are present when smelled nose to skin. In the air, these "notes" helps CDN Untold project and mimic the BR540 scent trail extremely well.

CDN Untold lasts forever as well, but I get noseblind in like 5mins lol. Great dupe, beautiful cotton candy sugary sweet saffron. Projection and longetivity monster.

Club de Nuit Untold by Armaf is making waves. Released in 2022, it's basically a cheaper version of Baccarat Rouge 540. Unless you're a perfume expert, you probably won't notice the difference.

From the first spray, you get saffron and jasmine—sweet and light. Sure, it's a bit sharper and not as deep as Baccarat, but for the price, it's hard to complain.

Some people mention a slight medicinal note, but most just enjoy the sweet, airy scent—like cotton candy. It lasts 8-10 hours and isn't overpowering.

So what's the big deal? Untold gives you that luxury feel without the hefty price tag. If you love Baccarat but not its cost, Untold is a no-brainer. It's not a perfect copy, but it delivers most of the experience for a fraction of the price.

My first review here, been saving it for this because I knew I'd have to say something eventually.

I don't understand how anyone can enjoy this. Sprayed it on a test strip today to reaffirm my disgust and accidentally got a bit on my fingertips. Can't wash it off, can't do anything with it. Once it touches you, this is all you're gonna smell for hours, and it doesn't smell good. Harsh. I suppose on some level it gets close to the scent of BR540 but it's so harsh in my nose. Chemically, almost eye-wateringly, harsh. I feel like this bottle has actively put me off the real BR540.

I'm struggling with how this can be called the best BR540 clone by so many, yet I would barely call this a perfume.

Crap/10

Edit
Batch number is 420643

Only good in the air. Will scratch that BR540 itch, strange alcohol smell persists, but it's way less compared to when smelled up close. Directly on skin, that sweetness is more Instant Crush to me than BR540. Not super high quality I would say, could have been better crafted, also don't agree with the hype on this, personally, a let down. But I use it as a bathroom spray, and hours after spraying this when I enter, it just smells very good that faint burnt sugar crystals vibe does somehow come through, and I respect that use case and what it brings for me, for that reason this has a place in my collection.
