ALT. FRAGRANCES Crystal No. 23 – Inspired by Bac. Roug. 540, Unisex Perfume, Extrait de Parfum, Long Lasting Perfume for Men & Women with Jasmine, Amberwood & Cedar Notes, 100ml

I’m gonna be completely honest with you here. When I first sprayed it on, it was very alcohol forward but after about 10 minutes, it set and you can smell the fragrance. The next morning (because I tested it after my shower the night before) and throughout the work day, I kept getting hints of the smell when was doing my day to day routine going through the motions. That was a pleasant surprise (so yes, it does last long). However, it was extremely subtle and sure I liked it but something felt like it was missing. I wasn’t super excited about it like I wanted to be. After some quick research I learned about layering, and let me tell you, using Egyptian Musk Oil as a base (since it’s also subtle) and then spraying this over it after is sets is PHENOMENAL! It doesn’t clash, they aren’t competing with each other, in fact they complement each other and the EMO helps bring out its fragrance and sharpens its edges. Not to mention, it didn’t take nowhere near as long for the alcohol smell to go away. That being said, this is about an 8/10 by itself, maybe 8.5 (only because it’s so alcohol forward at first), but it’s an easy 12/10 when using a base layer such as Egyptian Musk Oil, I’m obsessed! Will definitely be buying again!!

I purchased the ALT Crystal No. 23 Extrait de Parfum, and it honestly exceeded my expectations. From the very first spray, it feels like a sophisticated fragrance—clean, yet rich and captivating. It has that elegant touch that makes you feel put-together even on a casual day. The longevity is impressive. I applied it in the morning, and I could still smell it hours later—even on my clothes by the end of the day. It’s not one of those perfumes that fades quickly; it truly lasts, which makes it worth every penny. The packaging is also beautiful—simple but with a luxurious feel that looks great on any vanity. The spray distributes the product evenly, which is a nice bonus. I’ve received several compliments while wearing it, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. If you’re looking for a fragrance that smells expensive, feminine, and long-lasting, this is a fantastic choice. 💯 I would definitely repurchase!

I bought this perfume based on the reviews, most say its a perfect dupe for the original, my impression is that although it smells very similar, it starts with a smell of burnt rubber for the first 10-15 minutes, only after that it starts to smell more close to the original. I like the Dossier version more due to it smell be easier from the start but this lasts a little longer, so I will have to play with both. I am giving 4 stars only because the burnt rubber smell.

Crystal No. 23 has become one of my go-to colognes for everyday wear. I get compliments on it all the time, and for the price, the quality is outstanding. If you’re looking for a great-smelling fragrance that delivers incredible value, I highly recommend giving this one a try. You won’t be disappointed

Ok, so I have always had a big collection of cologne and have some of the best smelling colognes I can find. I heard of baccarat before but never smelled it so I have nothing to compare it to. All I have to say is, wow.. I didn’t know what to expect when I smelled it for the first time, but when I did, the first thing I said was “oh my god” because it’s that good, and it lasted me all day. Which I didn’t expect. I smell it throughout the day also. Everything about it, is great, I’ll definitely be getting this again.

ALT. FRAGRANCES Crystal No. 23 is honestly incredible for the price. The scent intensity is strong without being overpowering, and it lasts surprisingly well throughout the day with great scent protection on both skin and clothes. The appearance of the bottle feels sleek and elegant, making it look far more expensive than it is. It also makes a fantastic gift for anyone who loves luxury fragrances. Most impressive of all, it’s incredibly difficult to tell the difference in scent compared to Baccarat Rouge 540, but at just a fraction of the price. Amazing value and effectiveness all around.

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.

Whenever I first sampled it at the mall. It smelled exactly like my actual baccarat and last most of the day. Whenever I bought it here. It smelled heavy with alcohol at first. However after a minute it calms down and smells like the real thing. It last about half a day if you kind of heavy on the sprays. Overall I’d say it’s 50/50 however for the price. This is one of the few alts I’ve tried that are worth it

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