The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025 by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge 540 Édition Millésime is a fragrance that marries the rich warmth of amber and spicy notes with the earthy depth of moss and wood. The composition opens with saffron and jasmine, creating an immediate sense of luxury and opulence. As it settles into its heart, hedione and ambroxan provide a floral freshness that contrasts beautifully with the sweet sugar and warm cedar base notes. This fragrance is designed to evoke a feeling of lasting elegance, much like the brand's legacy since 2009.
This fragrance blooms gradually, so a single spritz is sufficient. It's best applied in the evening when its warm and spicy base notes can fully envelop you. Avoid layering it over strong scents like perfumed body lotions to allow its nuanced complexity to shine.
