I’ll admit I like the finer things in life, but that doesn’t mean I enjoy spending money on them. There are certain little luxuries that I think are worth splurging on, likeeffective, proven skincare, but there are quite a few that I haven’t been able to pull the trigger on because of how pricey they are. LikeMaison Francis Kurkdjian’s Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfumthat retails for $325 — and that’s the small bottle. I’ve wanted this perfume foryearsbut haven’t been able to justify buying it because of its expensive price tag, and — considering I already have one of its best dupes, is it even worth it? At this point, there are tons ofBaccarat Rouge 540 dupesout there, but one of the absolute best ones isAriana Grande’s Cloud Eau de Parfum— and it’son sale for less than $50 todayon Amazon.

To be clear, theCloud Eau de Parfumisn’t anexactcopy of 540 — that would be criminal on so many levels. But it’s pretty dang close! It has a sweeter aroma that makes it appropriate for all ages. Like 540, theCloud perfumehas sensual, woody aromas that leave a lasting impression once settled on the skin. It also offers fresh, sweet, and fruity scents that create an intoxicating combination. It opens up with top notes of lavender blossom, juicy pear, and bergamot, then goes into the yummy scent of sweet coconut, indulgent praline, and vanilla orchid, and then finishes off with sensual musks and creamy blonde woods that create the perfect combination.
Ariana Grande Cloud Eau De Parfum
$47 $55 15% off
Unlike most of the internet, when I first got it, I had no idea thatAriana Grande’s Cloud Eau de Parfumwas a dupe for Baccarat Rouge. I was lucky to receive a sample bottle, and I genuinely love the scent. It wasn’t until I consistently wore the scent to work when one of my friends asked me, “Are you wearing Baccarat Rouge?” that I realized it smelled pretty similar. One day, another coworker said confidently, “Oh, Jacquelyn wears Baccarat Rouge,” when we were talking about signature scents. So you can imagine their shock when I told them I was actually wearingAriana Grande’s Cloud perfume, which costs about a fraction of the real thing — and even less now that’s marked down 15% for a limited-time.
Now, I’m not the only one who feels this way about theCloud perfume. It has an impressive 4.6-star rating on Amazon, with thousands of five-star reviews under its belt. “10 out of 10,” one shopper said. “Everyone is going to ask you if you’re wearing Baccarat Rouge 540. I love this perfume so much, especially how adorable the bottle is,” they said. While another shopper said it smells “SHOCKINGLY similarto Baccarat Rouge 540.” “The hype is real for this one,” they continued. “I was gifted the Baccarat Rouge 540 lotion and love the scent but refused to pay for the perfume.Cloudisn’t an exact dupe for it – it’s a slightly sweeter, lighter fragrance — just buy it.”
I definitely thinkAriana Grande’s Cloud perfumeis worth adding to your cart, especially since it’s only $47 today. It’s a great scent to add to your fragrance collection that you’ll constantly reach for — I know I do.
