More about Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait
Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is a 2017 unisex woody extrait de parfum made by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, an ultimate accomplishment for him. It intensifies the radiance of the three auras of the eau de parfum without betraying the original inspiration, a result of the perfumer's mastered craft and the wisdom gained with time. The top notes are bitter almond and saffron: a hint of fire enhanced with powdered, epicurean facets of almond. The heart notes are Egyptian jasmine and Virginia cedar, and the jasmine gently underscores the craftsman's voice. The base notes are ambergris, Ambroxan, Cashmeran, musk and woody notes, where a mineral note built around ambergris is tamed with an ambery and woody accord. The extrait embodies the profusion and fusion of elements that only the art of the perfumer can tame. The bottle plays with light too, in a brilliant red robe echoing Baccarat red. The main accords are amber, almond, warm spicy and woody. Wearers favor Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait in winter and fall, mostly at night and in the evening, which suits anyone looking for an amber-almond scent for cold nights.
