What People Say
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
One longtime wearer enjoys the airy jasmine, saffron and sugary character that settles into warm amber.
One EDP sampler found a dominant hospital-like smell that remained unpleasant on skin.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum
A sample wearer enjoys the noticeable almond character on skin. Another Extrait owner loves its mixture of airy sweetness and substantial presence.
One wearer finds the almond impression chalky and orange-like, preferring the EDP’s lighter character. Another owner finds the Extrait heavy and dense yet difficult to smell on themselves.
The Verdict
Try the EDP if you prefer a lighter, more sparkling impression; one wearer favors it for that reason. Try the Extrait if almond and a denser woody-amber feel appeal to you. An Extrait sample wearer enjoys its almond character on skin, while another finds it chalky. Smell both on skin before choosing by concentration alone.
