Baccarat Rouge 540 EXT

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum by Maison Francis Kurkdjian – dropped in 2017, this one’s the amped-up, richer, more decadent version of the original. The opening hits with bitter almond and saffron—a creamy, slightly nutty, and spicy-sweet vibe that’s warm and inviting. Then the heart opens up with Egyptian jasmine, cedar, and rose—smooth, floral, and a little woody, keeping it classy without going full-on floral bomb. The base is where the magic happens—caramel, woody notes, musk, and ambergris. It’s sweet, musky, a little salty from the ambergris, and has that signature Baccarat DNA that’s like sugar-dusted wood with a salty skin vibe.
