Baccarat Rouge 540

Baccarat Rouge 540 began as Francis Kurkdjian’s tribute to the crystal house Baccarat. Its Eau de Parfum brings together an airy floral character, ambery warmth and a distinctive dry sweetness.

The fragrance was created for Baccarat’s 250th anniversary in 2014 before becoming part of Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s wider collection. Its name refers to the heat used to achieve Baccarat’s red crystal, connecting the perfume to the house’s craft and color.

The scent plays with contrast: jasmine and saffron sit above mineral, woody and sweet effects. It can be understood as a blended impression rather than a straightforward flower or dessert scent. This is the Eau de Parfum; the Extrait is a separate interpretation, so the shared name does not make the two interchangeable.
