Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum are two iconic fragrances from Maison Francis Kurkdjian, each offering a unique interpretation of the same DNA. The Eau de Parfum opens with sparkling saffron and jasmine notes, creating an airy, ethereal scent that evolves into a warm, woody drydown with amberwood and fir resin. It\“s known for its incredible sillage and longevity despite its lighter concentration.
The Extrait de Parfum version features a higher concentration of perfume oils, resulting in a richer, more intense experience from the first spray. It emphasizes the amber and woody notes more prominently, with the saffron taking a slightly more subdued role. The Extrait has a creamier, more luxurious texture and tends to project more intensely in the first few hours, though both versions have exceptional staying power.
When choosing between them, consider that the Eau de Parfum is more versatile for daily wear and warmer climates, while the Extrait makes a stronger statement for evening wear or special occasions. Many fragrance enthusiasts find the Eau de Parfum has better projection initially, while the Extrait develops more complexity over time. Both share the signature DNA that makes Baccarat Rouge 540 so distinctive - that elusive blend of floral, woody, and amber notes that seems to change on every wearer. |
