How close does Club De Nuit Untold get?

The community places Club De Nuit Untold especially close to the original. It receives 9/10 (editorial assessment) and is a favorite in the community's dupe discussions as an affordable alternative that strongly recalls the ambery, saffron-led signature. It is to be understood as a fragrance inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 - expressly not an exact recreation of the original. Beyond the community assessment we have no verified note data for the alternative itself; the description of the warm, ambery profile refers to the original, whose character the house leans on. On the availability side, Armaf fragrances are listed on Amazon.com, largely via third-party storefronts.

How does the similarity rating come about?

We compare solely on the basis of the original's shared notes and accords and the community's view of which fragrance recalls which. The 1-10 scale is an editorial assessment, not a measurement and not a percentage.

New US direct-to-consumer alternatives (2026)

Baccarat Rouge 540 has also become the single most-referenced original among US direct-to-consumer brands, several of which name it openly on their product pages. Dossier’s Ambery Saffron ($49, also sold as a $38 room diffuser) is described by the brand as its impression of the MFK original and shares the saffron signature in its published notes (editorial 7/10; the diffuser 6/10 as a home-scent format). Oakcha lists Sweven as inspired by MFK’s Baccarat Rouge 540 across three formats — the standard bottle ($50.95), a 100 mL size ($80.95) and a perfume oil ($35.95), each 7/10 — with jasmine and saffron shared between the published pyramids. Oakcha’s Miss Girl ($55.95, or $80.95 in 100 mL) carries a dual attribution, named by the brand as inspired by both Baccarat Rouge 540 and Tom Ford’s Lost Cherry, which places it further from this original (6/10). ALT Fragrances’ Crystal ($39) is presented by the brand as its homage to Baccarat Rouge; ALT does not publish a full pyramid for it, so the 6/10 rests on the attribution and community commentary rather than a note comparison. All of these are independent fragrances sold direct via each brand’s US site.
