Baccarat Rouge 540 is the result of a partnering of Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Maison Baccarat in celebration of the 250th anniversary of this iconic crystal house. The name is in reference to the creation of crystals and gold powder that when fused at 540 degrees, turns into beautiful scarlet jewels. As a little touch, there’s a red crystal chandelier behind the front label.

The notes are a top of jasmine and saffron; a heart of ambergris accord and finally a base of cedar accord and fir balsam. This is definitely one of those fragrances that takes differently to different skins. After spraying this on my OH, it was almost like another scent to how it sits on me; woodier on him and sweeter on me – but both delicious and meaning we can both go out in the same scent!

The gift set comes with 55ml of the Baccarat Rouge 540 fragrance as well as the Gold Edition Globe Trotter spray case. Each refill fits snugly into the travel case and once you’ve finished your 5 vials of Baccarat Rouge 540, they can be replaced by others available in almost every Francis Kurkdjian scent!
