Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP
A cult icon that radiates crystalline sweetness and radiant woods with a metallic shimmer. Instantly recognizable, seductive, and divisive, it’s a statement of modern luxury and enigmatic allure.
Acquired
Our Verdict - 850 Baccarat Rouge 540 Oil
850 pulls jasmine and saffron over an ambergris-woody base to echo the shape of Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540, but as an oil it sits close to the skin and never builds the loud, radiant sillage that made the original a signature scent for so many.
