Top Notes

• Grandiflorum jasmine
• Saffron facets

Heart Notes

• Bitter almond
• Ethyl maltol
• Ambergris accord

Base Notes

• Woody accord
• Ambery accord
• Musky accord

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait combines luminous floral facets with warm almond, mineral amber and smooth woods. Grandiflorum jasmine provides an airy floral quality, while bitter almond enhances the gourmand-toned warmth of ethyl maltol.

The composition gradually becomes more mineral, woody and enveloping through its ambergris-inspired and woody-ambery-musky accords. Compared with the Eau de Parfum, the Extrait emphasizes greater richness and depth while maintaining the recognizable Baccarat Rouge 540 signature.

Both versions share the same central inspiration and the three signature auras of air, fire and mineral depth. Maison Francis Kurkdjian describes the Extrait as intensifying the power and radiance of those elements without changing the original concept.

The Eau de Parfum emphasizes jasmine and saffron alongside ambergris-inspired mineral and dry woody tones. The Extrait adds greater emphasis to Grandiflorum jasmine and introduces a pronounced bitter almond facet alongside the gourmand character of ethyl maltol. Shoppers who enjoy the original but want a richer, denser interpretation may prefer the Extrait.

As an Extrait de parfum with a rich woody, ambery and floral profile, Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait can be especially appealing for evenings, dinners, special occasions and cooler weather. Its polished character also makes it suitable for everyday wear when applied according to the setting.

Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment. Sampling is particularly useful with this fragrance because individual perception of its sweet, mineral, woody and musky facets can vary considerably.

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait is especially worth sampling if you already know the Eau de Parfum and want to experience how the richer interpretation develops on your skin. The added prominence of bitter almond and the intensified floral, ambery and woody facets create a noticeably different balance.

A Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait sample lets you experience a complete wear before purchasing a larger quantity. A travel-size decant also provides a convenient option for keeping the fragrance in your rotation without carrying the full Maison Francis Kurkdjian retail bottle.
