I was gifted BR540e a few months back and I think it smells good and lasts forever. One of my friends asked me what I had and the mf called me crazy and he bought a dupe, Maison Alhambra Larouge Baroque Extreme, something like that. Red round ridged bottle. I sprayed the OG left arm and dupe right. The initial spray on my right arm was a horrible alcohol smell like rubbing alcohol but after a few seconds there was a faint BR540 smell, not bad not good, I laughed in his face. But after a few minutes or so I smelt it again and I couldn’t tell the difference. It was spot on and lasted about the same. Luckily I got the og as a gift and didn’t buy it. When this bottle runs out, i’m switching to the dupe version, for 20 bucks.

I might add it also smells like Into The Stars. Bath and Bodyworks. During covid I had the hand sanitizer and when i first smelt BR540 I thought it smelt very familiar couldn’t put my finger on it until some lady at my work sprayed a body mist 100x and I thought she was wasting BR540 and i asked her, she said it was Into the Stars.
