Baccarat Rouge 540
A composition of saffron, white florals, amber and cedar: saffron threads worth more than gold at the opening, resin held up to the light holding the base. It registers unisex, sophisticated rather than sporty, and sensual rather than clean.
A reference profile, not a product. Rayhan Scents is an independent house, is not affiliated with or endorsed by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and does not sell decants.
Saffron and white florals over amber and cedar
Heart — the middle
- SaffronThreads worth more than gold.
- White FloralsJasmine and orange blossom at night.
Base — what lingers
- AmberResin held to the light.
- Cedar WoodPencil shavings and dry timber.
The structure is evenly weighted, so it moves as you wear it — the opening reads for the first hour or two, then the base takes over and settles close to the skin for the rest of the day.
