Description
Launch & Concept
Baccarat Rouge 540 was released in 2015 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Baccarat crystal company. The idea was to create a scent that feels like crystal: transparent yet dense, radiant and intense.Fragrance Family & Style
It sits in the amber‑woody floral space. The style is elegant and modern; it has strong projection and a bold presence but also refined craftsmanship. It’s designed to be unisex.Note Structure
Top notes: Saffron, Jasmine — these give an aromatic warm spice plus soft floral lift.
Middle notes: Amberwood, Ambergris — these deepen the scent, adding resinous warmth and a slightly mineral character.
Base notes: Fir Resin, Cedarwood — woody undertones that anchor the scent, balancing the sweetness and giving it structure.
Scent Evolution & Feel
At first spray, you get a pronounced warm, spicy‑floral burst: saffron gives richness, jasmine adds delicacy. Shortly after, the heart smoothens out and the amber elements emerge — golden, glowing, slightly sweet but not sugary. As it dries down, the woods and resin become more noticeable, giving depth, texture, and an elegant dry finish. The cheek‑hugging trail is noticeable; people often comment on it long after application.Longevity & Projection
Performance is strong. It tends to last many hours on skin and even longer on clothing. Projection is bold in its early phase, then gradually becomes more intimate but still very present.Best Use / When It Shines
Best worn in cooler to moderate weather (autumn, winter, evenings) because its warmth and amber‑woody facets are more comfortable then. Great for special events, nights out, or moments when you want to leave a strong impression. It can work in daytime but might feel a bit heavy or too noticeable in very hot weather.Character & Vibe
The vibe is luxurious, high‑end, sexy but not overly sweet. There’s a brilliant balance between warmth and transparency. It feels glamorous and artistic, something that says “I care about what I wear,” yet is not flashy in a cheap way. If scents had personalities, this would be the rich, confident, elegant one.
