Where to buy

Baccarat Rouge 540 was born in 2014, when Francis Kurkdjian composed an eau de parfum for the 250th anniversary of the Baccarat crystal works, presented in 250 numbered bottles. After joining the permanent collection of Maison Francis Kurkdjian in 2016, the perfume gained an extrait de parfum version.

The house presents this extrait as an intensification of the eau de parfum’s three auras, without betraying the original poetic alchemy inspired by crystal-making. It describes it as an ultimate achievement for Kurkdjian, born of the perfumer’s mastery and know-how.

In the wake of a phenomenon

The extrait has followed the rise of Baccarat Rouge 540, which became one of the best-selling perfumes in the world, carried by TikTok content creators and widely imitated. It comes in 35, 70 and 200 ml, and in 11 ml travel refills.

What critics say

Thomas Dunckley (The Candy Perfume Boy) praises an extrait denser, warmer and more luxurious than the eau de parfum, true to the signature of a perfume he considers masterful.
