Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is the extrait de parfum version of Baccarat Rouge 540, signed by Francis Kurkdjian for his house. It intensifies the three auras of the eau de parfum created in 2014: grandiflorum jasmine in the heart notes, ethyl maltol extended by bitter almond, and an ambergris accord softened by ambery, woody musks. Its bottle is dressed in red.
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.
What critics say
Thomas Dunckley, The Candy Perfume Boy
Thomas Dunckley, who reviewed the extrait on The Candy Perfume Boy in November 2017, considers Baccarat Rouge 540 masterful and recognizes the extrait from the first spray, more luxurious and denser than the original. He attributes the perfume’s singularity to the clash of two materials, Ambroxan and ethyl maltol.
He senses a cherry that melts into the orange and minty facets of the eau de parfum, in a presentation more abstract than gourmand. The extrait strikes him as warmer and a little less transparent, more enveloping, without tipping into gourmand territory or betraying the original signature.
