Intensely radiant amber‑floral extrait with top facets of saffron & bitter almond, a jasmine‑cedar heart, and a resounding ambergris‑woody‑musk base—lasting 10+ hours.
Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait is the ultimate crescendo in the Baccarat 540 fragrance story. Launched in 2017 by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, it magnifies the EDP's luminous tri‑aura—airy jasmine and saffron, radiant cedar woods, and mineral‑ambergris core—into a deeper, richer, more opulent experience.
Opening with smoky‑sweet bitter almond and luxurious saffron, it flows into a heart of Egyptian jasmine grandiflorum and Virginia cedar. The dry-down evolves into a warm, sensual blend of ambergris, ambroxan, musk, and cashmeran—offering a strong, long-lasting signature that can linger on skin and clothing for over 10 hours.
