Joining forces around common values of expertise, creativity and excellence, Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Baccarat are extending the collaboration they initiated in 2014 for the Rouge 540 anniversary fragrance launch. Originally an Eau de parfum, Baccarat Rouge 540, Baccarat Crystal’s olfactory signature, is now available in a new form: an Extrait de parfum.

 

Intensively rouge

 

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de parfum intensifies the power and radiance of the three breaths that compose the Eau de parfum without betraying its original inspiration. Born of the perfumer's mastery and time-tested wisdom, this Extrait de parfum is, for Francis Kurkdjian, a culmination.

 

Top notes of jasmine Grandiflorum from Egypt delicately accentuate the breath of expertise evoking both the skillful hand that picked the flower and the one that transformed it into an absolute. The breath of fire is enhanced by the powdery, gourmand facets of bitter almond from Morocco, extracted as an essential oil using an ancestral process. Lastly, the breath of minerals built around ambergris softens on contact with a woody musk accord.

 

Deepening the Extrait’s intensity, the bottle also plays with light. For the first time, it dons a dazzling red garment echoing the iconic Baccarat red.

 

To enrich this olfactory experience, Baccarat Rouge 540 also comes in a scented, moisturizing, nourishing body cream. The fragrance lies on the skin like a sensual veil with woody amber floral tones.
