Just last month Olivia Rodrigo sat down for a video interview with GQ – and she named the ultra-popular model Maison Francisco Kurkdijan. Baccarat Rouge 540 among the top 10 things she can’t live without. The luxurious scent retails for $325, but is 15% off today at Bloomingdale’s.

“I had never been into perfume until I smelled this scent and I thought it was for me,” Rodrigo said of this scent of cedar, saffron and amber. “I don’t like smelling like candy or flowers or anything, but this just smells like you could probably smell like that naturally if you were an angel or something.”
I have to agree with the singer – Baccarat Rouge 540 smells simply divine. But if you’re not willing to shell out several hundred dollars for her signature scent, affordable fragrance brand Perfame offers perfumes that smell almost identical for under $50.
