For Him Red Edition
by Zara
For Him Red Edition by Zara offers a lighter, sweeter interpretation of Baccarat Rouge 540, with a distinct citrus opening that is likely orange or bergamot, though some find this note faint. The fragrance centers around a crystallized amber base with a mossy, evernyl-infused drydown that gives it a slightly green, airy quality, making it feel more refined and masculine-leaning than the original. It shares the same soft, enveloping texture as BR540 but with less sweetness and no harsh medicinal or rubbery notes. Performance is highly inconsistent—while some users report lasting 5 to 8 hours, especially on clothes or in humid conditions, others find it fades rapidly, with sillage and longevity being notably weak. The scent is unisex with a moderate sillage that is best enjoyed close to the skin, making it ideal for everyday wear. The price point is exceptional, making it one of Zara’s best-value fragrances.
