How we compared

Methodology We compare alternatives across four objective criteria: (1) oil concentration — the strength of the formula, where 22-30% qualifies as Eau de Parfum (EDP) grade; (2) UK retail price — what you actually pay including VAT, sourced from each brand's UK site on 24 April 2026; (3) note pyramid — the published top, heart and base notes; (4) customer rating where verifiable on the brand's review platform. We do not score sensory similarity to the original (that requires controlled blind testing under olfactometric conditions, which most published "side-by-side" reviews lack). The Fragrance World — the publisher of this guide — sells fragrance alternatives, including a MFK Baccarat Rouge 540 alternative listed first below. Our methodology applies the same criteria to TFW and to competitors, and we link to competitors' own product pages so you can verify. See full disclosure at the end.
