Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum pairs jasmine and bitter almond with an ambergris accord and woody, ambery musk. Ethyl maltol contributes its sweet gourmand facet. This is the extrait in the red bottle, distinct from the eau de parfum.
What People Say
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.
Great for
Someone who enjoys almond with sweet woody amber and a noticeable presence.
Not for
Someone who dislikes dense fragrances or chalky almond impressions; compare a skin sample with the EDP.
