Deserves his own stage !
I became aware of this fragrance through a YouTube channel (the Simple Chic life) and ordered it blindly (? although I had resolved to do this no more). There it was said that he has BR 540 vibes, but is also super nice as a standalone fragrance. That's exactly why I wanted it.
Personally, I always don't quite understand the dupe hype, because in the end the dupe always ends up a bit different anyway and it feels like "cheating" to me, like "I didn't make it". Therefore rather One original, than 10 dupes!
I love BR540, if I had to choose one fragrance forever ( wouldn't that be an absolute nightmare !!?) then it would be BR 540 !
And no dupe comes close to it! Even if some smell similar (eg Zara red temptation) the "magic" is missing, the airy, molekülige what makes BR for me.
But now to the Sunset riot : he has for me absolutely a raison d'être even without being degraded only to the Dupe.
He has initial similarity to the BR, yes, but is much softer, quieter, less "in your face", most comes through the "medical note", so who does not like the BR just, for the Sunset riot is nothing. But this one is also softer, less intrusive. Scent is less sweet, no "burnt sugar" or cotton candy note, just a subtle sweetness, especially the scent is super creamy and cuddly. Very versatile, wearable for any occasion and any season, has signature scent potential. H/S is moderate. Definitely unisex, if you had to choose rather feminine.
So, all in all a great, unusual, uniquer fragrance, very niche, price performance ratio super !
And the bottle is very decorative , minimalist-shabby/chick -edel with lid in concrete look. That would be times a candidate for a Posotionierung on such a noble mirror tray.
It always looks so great when people present their collection on pretty trays or in classy glass cases. I always do not dare to do that. Want to store the fragrances always in the best possible environment - ice you have only in the freezer and not in the refrigerator. That's why I have to keep the scents in OV in a closed cupboard, in the dark hallway. It's a shame, really. Like the pretty princess being locked in a dark tower. And around the Sunset riot it feels especially sorry with !

Baccarat Rouge *delight*
First of all: I own and love Baccarat Rouge 540 EdP, so I was all the more excited about Sunset Riot. It was a blind purchase, which I do not regret. The parallels to Baccarat are undeniable, but SR is much more suitable for everyday use and overall just fresher, more tart and thus great for spring and summer. The "medicinal" note - for me rather "mineral" note - is dominant, as with BR, but it lacks just (fortunately!) the sweetness, which makes it lighter and more sociable. For how much I love BR, he is a statement, which I do not want to set during the day

Linear boredom
It was that time again. The local chain transmitted the bonus points and I was spoilt for choice...

In short, an OK blind purchase in the sale and thanks to bonus points. I personally would definitely not want to pay full price. Why? - Unfortunately, that starts with the sprayer, which is only mediocre.

I would classify it as mediocre: worse than Mancera, but slightly better than John Varvatos. It fulfills its purpose, but I don't feel that it is ideally atomized and a small drop of liquid remains :( The bottle itself is simple, but still elegant enough. I also can't lift it by the cap without it coming off.

About the fragrance itself:

I call it Linear Boring. It doesn't change, it just gets weaker over time. As a summer scent quite passable but otherwise not necessarily a must buy
Shelf life and silage are very manageable. So if you are looking for something unobtrusive, this is the right place. Directly after the application my better half noticed something even from close range. And also in my perception the Riot is rather a lukewarm breeze, which after 2-3h can only be called a skin-scent. After 5-6h it was hard for me to smell anything on my skin. Maybe thats just me...

He stays on his clothes a little longer - and with a lot of goodwill you can still smell a nuance of Neroli the next day - provided you sniff around in the shallows of his polo a few times.

The fragrance is pleasantly unagitated: slightly sweetish and a dominance of orange/neroli with some cedar wood. I do not notice any pepper. All very unagitated and a slight sweetness without being really penetrating. This also applies to the orange, which rather reminds of a mild orange peel than strong citric smells. A pleasant tepid breeze with which most people can probably be satisfied, but also no more. But "Riot" - not by any stretch of the imagination!

I tested on a not too warm spring day and so the hope remains that some performance can be tickled out. It is definitely not a bad smell. But with the performance so far, I don't see any added value against other summer scents - unless you like exactly this unagitated Neroli composition

Arrived, tested and happy
The Sunset Riot was a blind purchase on my part.
And I must say that I do not regret it!
After the alcohol has evaporated comes a pleasant sweet-woody scent to the surface. I notice the orange blossom and also slightly the cedar wood. From the pepper I smell not much..
Nevertheless, a pleasant fragrance that I would definitely recommend from the scent! Also because of the price. :)

But a few points of criticism there are...
First, it is the durability, which is not extreme, but for the price of the perfume but also quite okay.
What has frightened me, however, is the spray of the flacon.
Well, how should I describe the best ... I think that I do not really create, but let's say so.... It leaves a wet puddle on a relatively small area of skin.
So far, this is really the worst spray I've experienced, but then I'll just refill my perfume. :)
And since it is often compared to the Baccarat Rouge 540 EdP:
Yes it smells similar to the Baccarat Rouge, however, the Baccarat Rouge is too pungent to me in the medicinal note, which is why I was really afraid of the Sunset Riot. But that was completely unfounded, because the medical note, which has disturbed me a BR 540 so, is not present in the Sunset Riot! :)

Less in-your-face than BR540, though they clearly share similar DNA. Sunset Riot is a woman wearing a cool leather jacket over a sleek satin gown w/ platform Doc Marten boots. I believe I detect ambroxan in this though it isn’t mentioned here. It adds a bit of refinement to a very sweet fragrance, makes it a bit more grown up but still kind of punk. I consider this BR540's rebellious sister who’s a drummer in three different bands. Sunset Riot definitely stands on its own merit.

What a well balanced and textured summer fragrance this is going to be! I'm saddened that I decided to pick it up in the dead of winter.

An affordable, much more punk rock BR540. Well balanced, strong sillage with fabulous longevity. Lasts through the day and night for me.
