An instantly impressionable signature scent. 

Born from the perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian's mastery and time-based wisdom, Baccarat Rouge 540 is composed of three breaths that capture the fragrance's power and true radiance. Jasmine Grandiflorum from Egypt evokes the skilful hand that picked the flower to the one that transformed it into an absolute, while Moroccan bitter almond and ambergris soften on contact with a woody musk accord.

  • Top note: Jasmine grandiflorum from Egypt and saffron

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum MAISON FRANCIS KURKDJIAN main accords

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de parfum enhances the strength and luminosity of the Eau de Parfum's three breaths while remaining true to its original inspiration.
This Extrait de parfum is the climax of the perfumer's talent and time-tested wisdom, according to Francis Kurkdjian.
Top notes of Egyptian jasmine Grandiflorum subtly emphasize the breath of competence, recalling both the skilled hand that gathered the flower and the one that converted it into an absolute.
The powdery, gourmand characteristics of Moroccan bitter almond essential oil, produced using an ancestral process, intensify the breath of fire. Finally, the metallic breath based on ambergris softens when in touch with a woody musk accord.

Nice

What strikes me the most about Baccarat Rouge 540 is the contrasting elements, it’s weightless yet profound scent profile, translucent yet gigantic in the way in which it presents itself while suspended in the air, Baccarat packs such a punch that it’s olfactive ghost can only be described as everlasting.
The scent is mostly built around synthetics unfolding on first blast with a duality of saffron jasmine, and dominant ambroxan and evernil, each of these being isolated molecules of ambergris and oakmoss, but beautifully layered in Kurkdjian’s style, utilizing skillful blending techniques.
The genius blend rests on a sweet vanilla woody ambery base that displays a dry character, reminiscent to norlimbanol molecule (firmenich)
As for Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait, this formulation particularly wows me the most, as everything that made it’s predecessor special and unique is carefully treated here and perfected with silky smooth transitions, added nutty almondy effect and sweeter tones.
Baccarat Rouge is the blueprint of a master perfumer, a man gifted with talent, Kurkdjian is a master at his craft, and his capabilities of creating memorable olfactive portraits goes beyond naturals or synthetics.

perfect

I swear this was discovered on the moon and made from space crystals.

This is an experience and I’m fully immersed. Like a Hans Zimmer song from Interstellar.

Wear this and you are a gravitational force that pulls everything, eyes, smiles, compliments, love, lust. It can do anything you want it to do. Careful, you are now renowned and exclusive.

absolutely love this

Ugh, absolutely love this. This is better than the EDP. The almond note brings depth that the EDP doesn't have.
I just know I smell good when I wear this because my eyes roll into the back of my head when I smell myself and get compliments from complete strangers.

Very good

52 hours longevity on my skin and I'm not even kidding.

I sprayed this once on my wrist on January 16th at 2 pm. Today is January 18th 6 pm and I can still smell this... and not even a faint smell reminiscent of it, it's still going strong oh my lord.

I can't even imagine how this would stay on my clothes... maybe that's what I should do. Spray my sample on my suits and have them smell like BR540 extrait untill 2020

Love it

I respectfully disagree with the reviewer below me - Cloud is very much alike BR540 Extrait. I'm confused as to how not everyone agrees with that. I have bought several sample packs straight from the MFK website because I was very interested in the house and every time, I have gotten a sample of BR540 Extrait. I've tried it many times and I definitely have a legit one. This is one of those few times where a dupe starts out very different to the one it is meant to imitate, in my experience its usually the other way around, they start out similar but then end up being world's apart. Not the case with BR540 Extrait and Cloud.

Cloud is more fruity in the beginning, more immature, bright and the whipped cream note is very noticeable. BR540 Extrait starts out a lot woodier. If you are comparing them to one another at this stage and for the first 30 minutes or so, then yes, I can understand that you don't think they're that much alike. But once the cheap fruits and whipped cream calm down in Cloud, that's where they start to morph into one. Right now as I'm writing this I have BR540 Extrait on one arm and Cloud on the other. After the 30 minute mark I have a hard time distinguishing between the two. Cloud is considerably less intense and doesn't leave a huge trail, its less woody and there is a trace of cheery fruits and whipped cream. BR540 Extrait is more complex when you stick your nose in it and inhale. But when I catch whiffs off of myself I'm not sure which arm it came from. So what is projecting around me smells very similar indeed. Are they exactly the same? No of course not, they are two different fragrances. But, in my opinion, sillage is very similar.

BR540 Extrait is beautiful. In no way, shape or form am I calling it cheap by likening it to Cloud. I'm more so saying that Cloud was well executed. I won't go into details about what BR540 Extrait smells like, as many people have done a superb job of that already, but it is indeed a work of art. You may or may not like it, but both BR540 Eau de Parfum and BR540 Eau de Parfum Extrait were groundbreaking when they first came out. And I heavily dislike the Eau de Parfum, the latex/dentist smell overpowers it completely but the perfect harmony was found the Extrait. But I still recognise the impact they've had on the fragrance world and I respect the work behind them.

There is something so luxurious and special about having the original. Bottles are beautiful and the scent is magical. If you've fallen for it head over heels then you should get it. I always recommend to save up and get what you've fallen for instead of choosing a similar one to save money. You'll always be craving the one you truly want so it's better to be patient and get your love and not settle.
But for those who happen to either really like it or just love it but it's not IT (by that I mean it's not THE fragrance that makes your heart sing in a very special way even if you love it) then you may want to consider Cloud. I fall into the category of love it but not-my-fragrance-soulmate-love-it so I was on the fence. And for now I've decided that Cloud is enough for me. That may change but for now I'm happy.

I'm guessing a lot of people may not want to find similarities in a cheap celebrity fragrance and their expensive niche work of art. I understand that very well. It's not as much fun when you've found something that you absolutely love, that costs a lot and makes you feel special, only for it to become copied and mass produced and overly popular.

Of course, each nose is different and all that, but I still stand firmly behind my opinion in this debate.

Oh, and Burberry Her in comparison? Nope, my sister wears that one and Cloud as well, and I can tell them apart when I smell her. Burberry Her is a lot fruitier than both BR540 and Cloud. Still similar, but not as much as the other two.

Is BR540 Extrait worth the money? If you think it is, then it is 💕
