I have never smelled Baccarat Rouge but when I bought SdJ's Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’68 Beija Flor, I kept reading how it was a dupe for Baccarat Rouge.  Today I opened the box that 4 roller bottle "dupe" fragrances came in because I could smell the above scent and I was afraid it might be broken (it wasn't).  So what I'm trying to say is that, to my nose, the S de J Brazilian Crush Cheriosa '68 Beija Flor does smell like Baccarat Rouge IF this dupe fragrance is accurate.  Man, that paragraph reads like I feel today...discombobulated

Key Notes: Brazilian Jasmine, Pink Dragonfruit, Sheer Vanilla

Do our local fragrance experts have any knowledge of BR and this S de J '68 fragrance?  All I know is it's a delicious fruity floral.

@monicakm I have not smelled either of these but I was wondering where you purchased the dupes from?  Sorry I can't be helpful about your post but I am such a fragrance novice LOL and I doubt I could afford the Baccarat Rouge so a dupe sounds right up my alley to try

The Sol de Janerio fragrance (pictured above) is from Sephora.  I also have the body/hand cream that I bought from the Sol de Janeiro website.  

The fragrances are long lasting. 

This is the one that started it all for this company, it's their signature scent.  This is the "biggie" size.  It also comes in a regular size and a mini.  Smells great!

I'm sorry, the box of 4 "dupes" came from quality fragrance oils dot com.

You can buy sets of 5 or individuals.  The ones I bought my husband and grandson are a combination of Creed and Tom Ford fragrances.  They like them but I've never purchased any of these for me.

@monicakm Thank you so much!  Will check out that website for dupes!

You're welcome.  My husband and grandson have been enjoying these for years.  What I don't understand is how this dupe for Baccarat Rouge is spot on for the S de J Bella Flor fragrance and this (Bella Flor) is no way a unisex fragrance, imo.  It is straight up fruity-floral.  I've mentioned this before.  Totally "girly".  But Baccarat Rouge dupe was in the men's section of quality fragrances (and has a 4.9 rating with 1349 reviews).  Oh well.  Maybe the power of suggestion ("it was in the men's section so it must be for men") will be enough to convince them.  Hey, I'd take a second whiff of a man wearing it
