Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum
When you think of the brand Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Baccarat Rouge 540 is likely the first scent that comes to mind. This sophisticated floral, woody fragrance, first created as a limited edition, was so wildly popular that it became part of the Maison's permanent collection.

Customer Review: "My signature fragrance...I love it. Every time I wear it I get way too many compliments, and omg it stays on for the longest. I love this. It's worth every single dollar." —Kmeza12
This perfume is a marriage of two scents—one for men and one for women—that had been a part of the brand's portfolio since 2009. "Even though many people enjoyed the first versions, I, as a creator, was not fully and completely satisfied with the previous two iterations to bring them back as they were, but I wanted to revisit APOM," Kurkdjian previously told Bazaar. "Painters sometimes exercise 'pentimento' and go back to their previous works to improve them, correct certain elements in a way. I did the same with APOM and merged the best of both variations into a new creation: the feminine version’s sunny sensuality and the masculine version’s elegant addictiveness."
