Trajan offers a refined interpretation of Baccarat Rouge 540, distinguished by its brighter citrus opening and warmer, more balanced dry-down. The blood orange and citrus accords create a fresher, more elegant introduction than BR540, blending seamlessly into a soft, gourmand-sweet base with subtle amber and cedar notes. While it shares DNA with the iconic fragrance, many users note that Trajan feels less synthetic and more wearable—especially its softer leather and powdery finish. It maintains consistent projection, long-lasting performance, and a sillage that lingers without overwhelming. The fragrance strikes a balance between airiness and intensity, making it suitable for both day and night wear across seasonal shifts, particularly in spring and autumn. It’s praised as a superior alternative to the original, offering better longevity, quality, and more subtle complexity.
