Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum 2.4 oz (70 ml) is a unisex luxury fragrance with a concentrated woody, ambery, and floral scent profile. Created by Francis Kurkdjian, the Extrait intensifies the character of the original Baccarat Rouge 540 while introducing additional richness through bitter almond, jasmine, amber-toned woods, and musky accords.

The fragrance opens with the distinctive spicy, slightly metallic character of saffron, creating a bright yet complex first impression. Grandiflorum jasmine develops through the heart, adding floral luminosity and softness to the composition.

As Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait develops, ethyl maltol contributes subtle gourmand facets that are enhanced by bitter almond. The dry-down moves toward an ambergris-inspired mineral accord surrounded by warm woody, ambery, and musky tones. Maison Francis Kurkdjian also identifies Cashmeran and Ambroxan among the key olfactory materials associated with the Extrait's woody and musky character.

The result is a fragrance that moves between floral brightness, warm amber, subtle sweetness, dry woods, and mineral depth. Its concentrated Extrait de Parfum format makes it especially appealing to fragrance enthusiasts seeking a richer interpretation of the Baccarat Rouge 540 scent profile. Maison Francis Kurkdjian describes the Extrait itself as long-lasting.

With its warm ambery-woody character, Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum works particularly well for evening wear, date nights, formal occasions, celebrations, and cooler-weather dressing. Its unisex composition can be worn by anyone drawn to sophisticated amber, floral, woody, and subtly gourmand fragrances.
