Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is the intensified, richer version of the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian. While the original is luminous, airy, and radiant, the Extrait de Parfum is deeper, darker, more sensual, and more opulent—a true statement fragrance that enhances the DNA of the original with added richness and complexity.

At the opening, the scent bursts with bitter almond and saffron. The almond adds a creamy, slightly nutty sweetness that immediately makes the fragrance feel warmer and more luxurious, while saffron gives its signature spicy, leathery glow.

In the heart, Egyptian jasmine blends with cedarwood, bringing both floral radiance and woody strength. The jasmine keeps the fragrance luminous, while the cedar gives it structure and a touch of refinement.

The base is dominated by ambergris, musk, and woody notes, creating an intense, long-lasting trail that is both sensual and magnetic. The ambergris amplifies the salty-mineral effect, while the musks give it a soft, almost skin-like finish.

The overall impression is sweet, spicy, woody, and resinous, but with a much richer texture than the Eau de Parfum. The Extrait feels more intimate yet also more powerful—it sits closer to the skin at first but leaves a luxurious, lingering aura that is incredibly long-lasting.

Performance: This version is extremely long-lasting (often over 12–15 hours on skin) with a strong but elegant sillage. It is less “airy-cotton-candy” than the EDP and more sensual, smoky, and resinous, making it perfect for evenings, cooler weather, or special occasions.

Character: Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is unisex, but it leans slightly warmer and denser. It’s often described as more seductive and mature compared to the brighter, fresher EDP.

✨ In short: Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is richer, spicier, and more sensual than the original—keeping the same DNA but adding almond warmth, deeper woods, and intensified amber for a truly luxurious and unforgettable experience.
