Nothing beats the feeling of finding the best beauty dupes, especially if it's Baccarat Rouge perfume dupes. But while you can find affordable alternatives for most makeup and skincare these days, replicas for luxury fragrances are much harder to find. That being said, TikTokers believe they've found some alternatives for Molly-Mae Hague's fave £235 perfume, Baccarat Rouge 540.
The Maison Francis Kurkdjian's cult classic Baccarat Rouge 540 is a bestselling scent that's fast become one of the most popular perfumes in the world. Even Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague swears by the luxury fragrance. In a post shared to her Instagram stories, the reality star called it her 'most nostalgic scent'.
Although we'd love to own Molly-Mae's go-to scent, it not being the cheapest option is definitely an understatement. However, not only has TikTok managed to find an Estée Lauder Double Wear foundation dupe for the luxury makeup brand, but Baccarat Rouge perfume dupes as well. TikTokers swear that these fragrances smell 'exactly the same' as the fragrance. And the cheapest option is £229 less than the original.

Tiktokers were convinced the Sol de Janeiro Cheriosa 68 was the dupe for Baccarat Rouge, and this body mist went viral very quickly. It's described as having notes of 'jasmine, hibiscus, vanilla' underpinned by 'fresh ocean air' and 'sun musk,' and top notes of 'pink dragonfruit and lychee.' We're getting the floral, we're getting the sweetness, and we're getting a little musky undertone. TikTok might be onto something here.

As seen all over TikTok, Pacifica Dream Moon Spray is considered a recommended dupe for the luxury perfume.

However, the floral fragrance with woody undertones means TikTokers swear this is a similar dupe.
Customer review: "I bought this after hearing @BabsBeauty say she loved it and that it smells like Baccarat Rouge 540. It is a deliciously sweet toasted marshmallow scent that I absolutely adore.

FAQs
Where to find the best dupes?
What exactly are we looking for when we're after Baccarat Rouge perfume dupes? Like all dupes, including the Dior Lip Oil dupe that went viral on TikTok, we're looking for a much cheaper price tag for a start. However, Maison Francis Kurkdjian describes the fragrance as a 'woody scent with freshly-cut cedar, breezy jasmine, radiant saffron and ambergris mineral notes.'
If you're looking for affordable dupes for luxury brands, we get it, especially for high-end products that we can't exactly afford to treat ourselves to all the time. That's why in time for the summer, we're also looking at Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drop dupes so we can look golden, radiant and oh-so expensive. But without having to spend all that dollar.
It goes without saying, but the best place to look for dupes is TikTok, of course. Not only have creators on the platform managed to find the best Baccarat Rouge dupes, but they've also found the best Rare Beauty Blush dupes too. Just trust beauty enthusiasts on the app to find all of the best dupes for well-known brands. Thanks, TikTok.
What was the inspiration for Baccarat Rouge 540?
According to the creator, the original inspiration for the scent came from the encounter between Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Baccarat to celebrate the crystal manufacturer's 250th birthday. He says, 'Its unusual sillage makes this perfume mysterious. Baccarat Rouge 540 embodies the alchemy of the senses.'
