Baccarat Rouge 540
Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is a warm, amber-led fragrance launched in 2015 and originating in France. Woody and amber accords dominate its character, with a prominent warm spiciness through the middle and a gourmand sweetness beneath. Saffron gives the opening a bright, spiced edge, while jasmine adds a white floral lift that keeps the richness from feeling heavy. As it settles, an ambery, faintly mineral warmth takes over, supported by a dry cedarwood structure and a soft, mossy base.
The development is gradual, so the scent reads differently in its first hour than later on. It tends to sit confidently off the skin and generally carries well across a room, and it usually lasts a long time, so a small amount goes a considerable distance.
Its depth and projection suit evening wear and cooler months most naturally, though it is versatile enough for a night out, a professional setting or a relaxed casual occasion. It can be worn through spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Presented as a parfum in a 35ml bottle from Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
