Jasmine, saffron and amber in a denser form
Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is presented by Maison Francis Kurkdjian as a more intense version of the eau de parfum's three auras, keeping the idea of crystal-making alchemy. The brand lists Cashmeran, Ambroxan, Grandiflorum jasmine and saffron. Dense and warm, it is a perfume to meet in small amounts first, which is what a 10 ml decant allows.

How it unfolds
-
Jasmine in the heart
The brand lets Grandiflorum jasmine carry the heart. It is a full, slightly creamy white flower, and in this denser form it should sit rounder than in a light floral. The page shows a flat key-ingredient list, so there is no opening or base to promise.
-
Gourmand fire, a trace of almond
Ethyl maltol gives a warm, sugary, almost caramelised fire, and a touch of bitter almond is mentioned by the brand as a subtle enhancement. Almond is not on the note list, so it stays a faint shade. This is the sweet, glowing layer that gives the scent its gourmand side.
-
An amber, woody drydown
An ambergris accord softens into a woody, ambery, musky base, and Cashmeran and Ambroxan are among the named materials. Saffron is in the list too. Expect a warm, smooth and slightly airy finish that stays close to the skin.
Testing it
How to test it, for whom and why
How to test it
One or two sprays on neck or chest are enough for an Extrait. Let it settle for a minute against your skin, then notice whether jasmine, sugar or amber leads. Wear it on a cool evening first and, on another day, in milder weather to see how its warmth behaves.
Who it is for
People who like warm, dense and slightly gourmand perfumes and are comfortable with a note that fills the space around them. It is listed as unisex. If you prefer light, airy scents or quiet skin scents, expect something fuller.
Why try Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait as a sample first
Few perfumes are talked about as much, so expectations run high, and a fleeting sniff in a shop says little about the dry-down on your own skin. Ten millilitres from our decant give you several evenings to judge the Extrait before choosing a full 70 ml bottle.

Frequently asked
What is in the sample?
A 10 ml decant of Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Maison Francis Kurkdjian is not involved.
What makes this the Extrait?
The house ranks the Extrait de Parfum above its eau de parfum for intensity. Expect a denser, closer scent that needs less product.
Does it contain almond?
Only as a passing remark: the brand says a touch of bitter almond enhances the ethyl maltol. Almond is not among the listed ingredients, so treat it as a faint shade at most.
Which notes does the brand list?
Cashmeran, Ambroxan, Grandiflorum jasmine and saffron, as a flat key-ingredient list without top, heart and base. We show them the same way.

About Maison Francis Kurkdjian
Maison Francis Kurkdjian, co-founded in Paris in 2009 by the perfumer Francis Kurkdjian and Marc Chaya, treats perfume as a wardrobe: a set of scents you choose from according to mood. Several exist in two concentrations, and one pair, Gentle Fluidity, uses the same six ingredients for two different results. A wardrobe is something you try on, and with 10 ml decants you can compare an eau de parfum with its extrait on your own skin before deciding.
- Paris, 2009: founded by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian with Marc Chaya, who leads the company
- Francis Kurkdjian is the perfumer of all ten perfumes we decant
- The collection is meant as a fragrance wardrobe, chosen by mood

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
