Composition
EM5 BR 540 by House of EM5 is an Indian eau de parfum inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540. Gets the signature accord right within minutes; differences show mainly in depth and tenacity of the base.
Saffron and jasmine glitter at the start like sparks off crystal. Then the amberwood arrives — that famous radiant warmth, like sunlight trapped in glass, sweet and a little mineral. Fir resin and cedar in the base give it depth, like the shadow behind the glow. It gets the signature accord right within minutes: luminous, sweet, unmistakable. Luminous and sweet — beginners welcome.

Reviews
Side-by-sided with the original at a meetup. Opening is shockingly close; the drydown is simpler. For 499, absurd value.
