Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum 2.4 oz (70 ml) is a luminous unisex woody, ambery, and floral fragrance created by Francis Kurkdjian. The composition combines airy jasmine and radiant saffron with mineral ambergris-inspired facets, dry woods, and a subtle gourmand effect from ethyl maltol, creating a distinctive scent that moves between floral brightness, warm amber, and modern woods.

The fragrance opens with the light floral character of jasmine alongside saffron, which introduces spicy, slightly metallic and leathery nuances. Together, these materials give Baccarat Rouge 540 its recognizable bright yet unusual opening.

As the fragrance develops, Ambroxan contributes amber, dry woody, and mineral facets reminiscent of an ambergris accord. This creates the clean, radiant mineral character that sits between the floral opening and warmer dry-down. Hedione adds an airy jasmine-like freshness and helps give the composition additional diffusion and luminosity.

A subtle gourmand dimension emerges through ethyl maltol, adding sweetness without turning Baccarat Rouge 540 into a traditional dessert-style fragrance. Dry woody tones remain present underneath, balancing the sweeter facets with warmth and structure.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian describes Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum as having a long-lasting sillage, making it especially appealing to shoppers looking for a fragrance with a noticeable scent trail. Its woody-amber-floral profile works across seasons and can transition easily from daytime wear to dinners, celebrations, formal occasions, date nights, and evening events.

Why You’ll Love It

Baccarat Rouge 540 combines jasmine, saffron, Ambroxan, ambergris-inspired mineral facets, ethyl maltol, and dry woods in a composition that feels simultaneously airy, warm, sweet, mineral, and woody.
