Baccarat Rouge 540 is born from the encounter between Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Baccarat to celebrate the crystal manufacturer’s 250th birthday.

During their encounter, the secrets behind the iconic scarlet red crystal inspired the creation of this unique fragrance. In a stunning metamorphosis, clear crystal gradually fuses with 24-karat gold powder at 540 degrees Celsius (1,004°F) and turns bright red: it’s the rouge à l’or (red made of gold).

Like a true alchemy of senses, its graphic, highly condensed olfactory signature delivers floral, ambery, and woody notes inspired by crystal’s fusion process. Airy jasmine facets and intensely radiant saffron carry the mineral notes of AmbroxanTM - evoking ambergris - and the woody, lightly spiced tones of red cedar. A unique formula, a subtle and meticulous balance, a mysterious and exceptional creation that has now become an incomparable icon.
