Name: Baccarat Rouge 540 Édition Millésime Eau de Toilette
Brand: Maison Francis Kurkdjian

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Édition Millésime is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Baccarat Rouge 540 Édition Millésime opens with Jasmine and Saffron, settles into a heart of Ambergris, Hedione, and Amberwood, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane, Cedar, Oakmoss, and Ambroxan. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's Baccarat Rouge 540 Édition Millésime carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This perfume is a lightning rod - if you've got the cash, it's a 'richer and deeper' version of a modern classic, a truly wonderful scent. For everyone else, it's a wildly overpriced cash-grab that epitomises everything wrong with luxury marketing. Your wallet, your call.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Spring

Also Works:

Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given the intensity and sillage, it's too potent for an office setting but perfectly suited for dates and formal events where its luxurious aura can shine. Its powerful presence means it's not an easy-going casual wear, nor suitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Baccarat Rouge 540 Édition Millésime opens with a touch of heady jasmine and the unique, bittersweet spice of saffron. It swiftly develops into a rich, warm heart of ambergris and amberwood, deepened by the subtle green facet of hedione. The dry down is a luxurious embrace of sweet sugar cane, earthy oakmoss, and the distinct, resinous pine of fir, all amplified by a strong dose of ambroxan. It's a complex, multifaceted scent that shifts from inviting warmth to sophisticated depth.
