Oud Mood combines rose, saffron, oud and caramel over resins and incense. Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP uses jasmine, saffron, dry woods, an ambergris accord and ethyl maltol. Shared sweetness and saffron do not make these the same scent.

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.

Lattafa Oud Mood

Some wearers love the scent and describe a strong, noticeable presence.

One wearer finds the rose too prominent and the overall style too feminine for their taste. Another enthusiast recalls that a heavy application was too much.

The Verdict

Choose Oud Mood for rose, caramel and resinous woods; choose Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP for jasmine and woody amber with gourmand sweetness. Some Oud Mood wearers love its noticeable presence, while one finds the rose too prominent. Sample it if you are choosing mainly for the rose note, and start with a light application.
