First of all, i never smelled BR 540, so I can’t compare this fragrance, but i heard that this smell similar. What I can say is that i received this fragrance today and omg this smell amazing. I mean, this is gorgeous. It’s been an hour since I spayed on my skin and it’s strong, I’ll see how it performs in the next hours. But for now, I’m very happy that i blind bought this one

I just got the bottle delivered yesterday and right off the bat as soon as I sprayed it all I smelled was rubbing alcohol. I let it sit for a few minutes and I literally couldn't smell anything. Sprayed a couple more times still nothing. Tried it again the next day and still strong smell of rubbing alcohol.
