ALT. FRAGRANCES Crystal No. 23 – Inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540, Unisex Perfume, Extrait de Parfum, Long Lasting Perfume for Men & Women with Jasmine, Amberwood & Cedar Notes, 60ml

Let me start by saying that ALT nails the scents and they truly do last all day! If your wife pulls you into the perfume section in every department store you need to make sure you check out ALT! The Mrs kept smelling the brand name of both of these scents everytime we went to a big store so I decided to see if ALT had their version of the scents. The first one I got was ALT’s version of born in Roma. It was a total hit as you can see the bottle is almost empty! So when the Mrs started smelling the baccarat rouge I knew exactly where to go and of course the 2ml bottle of Crystal was again an absolute hit now she can’t decide which one to wear! Needless to say ALT is a fantastic option for affordable and quality perfumes and colognes! We’re hooked and will continue to be regular customers!

As most, I’m a HUGE fan of “Baccarat Rouge 540” but don’t like frivolous spending on pricey perfumes, so after seeing videos & reviews on Tik Tok, FB etc I decided to it try for myself. I sprayed it in the air at first. The alcohol level was intense, then I smelled the fragrance. I then, sprayed it on my wrist & let it air dry. Same thing. It was a great amount of alcohol, then after settling for about 10-15 minutes or so, I began to smell the fragrance. It was soft, watered down, and a bit sweet but the alcohol overpowered the scent & nothing like Baccarat like the dramatic folks stated. Very overrated! I ordered the 3 oz size so it was a loss of fifty bucks. Pertaining to the other reviews in this group, I had no issues with packaging, the timing that it arrived was great. I will say this, the longevity of the smell was spot on as my husband and came home & still smelled it on me. He didn’t like the overly alcohol scent, but he did notice the fragrance so that’s why I gave it 3 stars.

I decided to buy this perfume because I wanted something with the style of Baccarat Rouge 540 but without spending so much, and the truth is that I was quite surprised. The aroma is sweet but not cloying, with that elegant and modern touch that feels "expensice". After a few minutes it changes a little and becomes warmer, like amber and soft on the skin, which I really liked because it is not a flat smell. The duration is good, in my case it lasts several hours and in the clothes even longer. It is not exaggeratedly strong, but it does leave a pleasant tail that is noticeable without being invasive. Something important is that it is really unisex, it does not feel very feminine or very masculine, so anyone can use it without problem. In addition, I have received positive comments when I use it, especially in outings or meetings. Obviously it is not identical to the original, but it is quite close and for the price it is totally worth it. This type of inspired perfumes exist because the original can cost more than $200, so it is a very accessible alternative

Arrived quickly. When you initially spray it, you smell alcohol. That eventually dissipates and overall a nice smell. I was complimented within a hour of wearing it. Not sure how it compares to the inspired by perfume. Overall happy with the purchase.

This stuff is incredible and smells SUPER sweet. I was worried when reading other reviews about how long it lasts or how it smells of alcohol. The alcohol scent fades in just A FEW MINUTES but I would recommend the normal on skin sprays then one spray on clothing which will help it stick around all day. The scent is almost candy like with a fruity citrus undertone. The bottle size is perfect for me as I like to keep a variety of colognes. I have never smelled Baccarat 540 so I cannot speak on how it compares but I can definitely vouch that this is probably the best smelling cologne I have ever owned. Perfect for a date night, not so much for everyday use! Hope this helps

I’ve been wearing Crystal No. 23 for a bit now, and honestly, it’s such a great find for the price. It captures that airy, sweet, and slightly woody vibe perfectly, and I get compliments every time I have it on. It lasts a solid amount of time on my skin, which is usually a struggle for me with other scents at this price point. If you’re looking for something that smells expensive but doesn’t break the bank, this is definitely worth a shot. It feels versatile enough for everyday wear but still feels special enough for date nights or dinners out. I’m really happy with how it turned out and would definitely grab another bottle once I’m running low.

Packaging: The outside of the box had something sticky on it. Inside of the box was a bubble pouch to prevent it from breaking. Once the perfume was out I could see that the lid was wet. It wan't twisted all the way on and some of the perfume leaked out. Scent: I've only had the baccarat dupe roller oil and it was divine. I've been trying to find it again and so I took a chance on this one. At first spray it seemed a bit too citrus-y and after sitting on my skin for a little bit it is nice, warm and sweet. It's not exactly like my roller oil because I can still get a hint of that citrus and/or alcohol but I will probably layer it and hope that it well settle in even more nicely. Cost: I should have ordered the 1oz from the ALT site instead of being impatient and getting this 2oz. If you want to try it first....go to their site and get the 1oz -- especially if people are having a hard time with returns/refunds. I'm not happy with the leaking but I will keep it. Taking 1 star away for the leaking Taking 1 star away for the citrus-y * (this is a personal objection)

I love the smell of this was so happy to get it when I open the box. The perfume is 3/4 empty. The top was unscrewed slightly from the glass bottle and had leaked if the bottle had been full it had been a five star

Totalmente descontenta, huele a alcohol, no tiene aroma nada parecido a lo que dice ser, es un robo!!
