The Iconic Baccarat Rouge 540, Intensified
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum takes the legendary Baccarat Rouge 540 signature and gives it a richer, more intense and enveloping interpretation. Created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, the Extrait amplifies the fragrance’s distinctive combination of luminous florals, gourmand sweetness, mineral facets and warm woods.
Inspired by the poetic alchemy of crystal making, Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait is built around three contrasting sensations: an airy floral aura, a warm and sensual gourmand aura, and a mineral woody aura. The result is an elegant fragrance with remarkable depth and a distinctive signature.
Jasmine, Bitter Almond & Sensual Ambered Woods
The fragrance opens with the luminous character associated with the Baccarat Rouge 540 signature. Grandiflorum jasmine enhances the airy floral facet, giving the composition an elegant and radiant quality.
At the heart, ethyl maltol introduces its distinctive gourmand character, while bitter almond adds a subtle nutty facet. This combination gives the Extrait greater richness and warmth while maintaining the unmistakable identity of Baccarat Rouge 540.
The dry-down develops around an ambergris accord softened by a woody, ambery and musky accord. These elements create a smooth, warm and sensual finish that gives Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait its impressive depth and lingering character.
The overall effect is woody, ambery, floral, warm and subtly gourmand — an elegant interpretation of Baccarat Rouge 540 designed for those who want a deeper and more luxurious expression of the original.
