Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is an intensely concentrated and luxurious fragrance. It opens with a radiant burst of saffron and jasmine, creating an air of sophisticated warmth. The heart reveals a unique ambergris accord that provides a sensual, slightly marine depth. The drydown is a mesmerizing blend of woody amber and cedar, leaving a long-lasting, slightly sweet, and addictive trail. Overall, it smells like an intoxicating and expensive fusion of warm sugar, saffron, amber, and clean wood.
Many people describe the scent as reminiscent of burnt sugar, high-quality almond extract, or the luxurious atmosphere of an upscale jewelry store. Its projection is powerful, and the sillage is incredibly tenacious, often lingering on clothes for days. It is a unisex fragrance but leans slightly feminine due to its sweet and floral facets. It is perfect for special evenings, formal events, or whenever you want to make a powerful and memorable impression. |
