Burberry Her
Burberry (2018)

This is not just a dislike, this is a full on repulsion. I do not think that this smells like Baccarat Rouge 540, however, I do have the same level of disdain for both. They both have this weird, metallic yet airy, and stabby quality to the sweetness. I don’t know what it is, my brain tells me it’s ethyl maltol… and a huge dose of it, but I don’t know if that’s true. I shouldn’t have bought it. I should have listened to those comparing it to BR540 and known that they share a quality that is not meant for me. It performs well, of course… every perfume you hate will have the best performance.

This was a gift from my brother-in-law, which I promptly re-gifted to my 10-year old daughter. A synthetic fruity scent. Heavy on the strawberry.

If you want to smell like a middle-aged version of the popular Strawberry Shortcake doll, or a somewhat sophisticated tween, this is the scent for you. Otherwise, hard pass.

This fragrance opens with a musky raspberry vanilla scent, but it falls short as a Baccarat Rouge 540 clone. While there are some similarities in the beginning, it quickly takes a different turn and becomes a light berry-dominant fragrance. If you're specifically looking for a BR540 dupe, you may be disappointed.

Instead, I would recommend checking out Al Haramain's Amber Oud Rouge as a solid alternative to BR540.

I liked this! Paired with strawberry pound cake lotion from bath and body works I smell like a whole dessert! I smell the strawberry note and I love it!

Citrus jasmine smelling like gardenia to me, soft, sort of vanillic. Easy to wear, pretty. Not really my thing.

Strawberry bubblegum drying down to waxy strawberry jam. There's a dirty herbal undertone that could have amounted to something interesting, but that I firmly believe is actually a design flaw, as it combines with the plasticky wax in a really unpleasant way that doesn't belong in a perfume that's clearly trying to be an inoffensive crowdpleaser. Even within the genre of artificial strawberry discounter perfumes, this is bad.
