FM Perfume 910 Review

FM Perfume 910 is a unisex fragrance with delicate, woody notes, making it a fantastic choice for those who appreciate subtle scents.

Many of us are passionate about perfumes, but the price tag can sometimes be a deterrent. That’s where fragrances inspired by the notes of designer scents come in handy.

As I’ve discussed on my website before, FM WORLD creates perfumes that are not only affordable and long-lasting but also feature fragrance notes akin to those found in designer perfumes.

When we set our sights on a particular designer fragrance, the price can often be a bit of a shock.

Inspired by the designers

While there are certainly designer fragrances that fit within a budget, FM Perfume 910 draws striking comparisons to Baccarat Rouge 540, a scent that made its debut in 2014 under Baccarat’s name and was later reimagined in 2015 by Maison Kurkdjian. This fragrance embodies a delicate blend of subtle notes, diverging from the woody/oriental category.

If you buy a 70ml bottle of the Extrait De Parfum from their website, be prepared to spend a staggering £320. Can anyone truly justify such a price tag? If you’re a pop star like Rihanna, the answer is yes. This was her preferred fragrance before launching her line of perfumes.

It’s considered a highly flattering scent for both men and women, and its popularity has skyrocketed on social platforms like TikTok, propelling this fragrance to its current level of success. The elegant gold and red design of the bottle adds to its appeal. However, many individuals, both men and women, may be unable or unwilling to invest in such an expensive scent.

What can you do when you adore a fragrance but find the price tag too steep? Some may opt for ‘dupes’ of their beloved scent and end up disappointed when the replica doesn’t meet their expectations.

Buying a similar scent for less

Another option is to consider buying the inspired version from FM World. For those acquainted with our fragrances, it’s evident that FM perfumes are not exact copies.

They are distinctive scents presented in their unique bottles and packaging. While the fragrance notes may resemble those of designer scents, they are not identical.

Instead, they are ‘inspired’ by other fragrances. Both the bottle and packaging design are also exclusive. Given the constraints of the fragrance wheel, it’s inevitable that a scent will share similar notes with others.

Price: £37.00 purchased directly from FM World

Size of bottle: 50ml

My rating: 9 out of 10

FM perfume No. 910 fragrance notes

Type: dry, flavoured with a hint of sweetness

Fragrance notes:

Head: Jasmine, saffron

Heart: Balsam fir, cedarwood

Base: Cashmere wood, ambergris, moss, brown sugar.

We already understand that extravagant bottles are unnecessary to leave an impression, and the simplicity of FM World’s design exemplifies this principle.

When a perfume or aftershave rests on the bedside cabinet between uses, there’s no need to splurge on elaborate packaging or bottles.

After all, the fragrance should capture our interest, as that’s what those around us will notice. We often find ourselves drawn to classy and elegant bottle designs, which catch our eye before we even consider our preferred scent.

Retailers and perfume designers are well aware of this, and customers are attracted to elaborate packaging and celebrity endorsements of particular fragrances.

Familiar brands often sell more effortlessly than unknown brands. I prefer any fragrance featuring cedarwood or jasmine.

These scents are versatile and suitable for any season. They offer a delicate and light feel despite not containing the typical selection of delicate floral and fruity notes.

Why FM910 is so popular

FM 910 strikes a delightful balance between wood and oriental notes, and its head notes immediately grab your attention upon spraying.

It’s no wonder this fragrance is so popular. As the scent settles on the skin, it becomes a clean and refreshing aroma reminiscent of clear water. It exudes crispness, seductiveness, and a pleasant experience for the senses.

Unisex scents can sometimes be perceived as too masculine for women or too feminine for men, making some people hesitate when considering them.

What to expect with this scent

I was pleasantly surprised by this fragrance. Its notes carry a subtle sweetness, yet they are not overpowering or cloying.

The scent evokes the feeling of a fragrance suitable for a wedding – delicate with just the right amount of presence to be noticed without causing people to wrinkle their noses in response to an overly strong scent.

As the base notes become noticeable, FM 910 exudes a sense of seduction, making it versatile for year-round wear. Comparing the fragrance notes of FM 910 to Baccarat Rouge 540 reveals some similarities, but they are not identical.

FRAGRANCE NOTES OF BACCARET ROUGE 540

Top notes: Jasmine and saffron

Middle notes: Amberwood and ambergris

Base notes: Fir resin and cedar.

With such striking similarities, it can be challenging to discern which scent is the designer. As with all perfumes, the base notes linger for an extended period.

I sprayed FM 910 on my skin at around 8 a.m. one morning, and to my delight, I could still detect its notes at 5 p.m. This fragrance, part of the PURE ROYAL range, is worth trying, and you can purchase a sample here.

I recommend trying a sample of FM’s perfumes first, as scents can smell quite different in the bottle than on the skin.

Conclusion

It is a delightful scent that is very light and wearable, suitable for both men and women. I would perhaps like it to have a bit more strength and a slightly more robust presence, but overall, FM 910 is a delightful and favoured perfume in the pure royal range.

A delightful scent that is very light and wearable, definitely suitable for both men and women. I would perhaps like it to have a bit more strength and a slightly stronger presence, but overall, FM 910 is a very pleasant and popular perfume within the PURE ROYAL range.

      Hi, the FM inspired version is lovely and many people don’t notice the difference between our brand and the designer scent.

      How much was the Baccarat Rouge 540 sample just out of interest?
