Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris

❦ Perfume is potentially a carrier for the imagination. Perfume is thick; it is poison and pure desire; it is eros in person. ❦

It’s always a pleasure to test luxury perfumes. This time I received gorgeous Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris Bacarrat Rouge 540 Extrait De Perfume as a gift. Baccarat Rouge is the embodiment of luxury. It is elegantly presented in a royal ruby red glass bottle with a golden top which gives to the bottle really nice and luxurious look. Bacarrat Rouge 540 Extrait De Perfume is an oriental floral fragrance for women and men and it was launched in 2017.

The “breeze” accord, jasmine and saffron, sits sheer and delicately spiced on the skin, leading way for the cedar-driven blend of woods that make up the robust and crackling “heat” accord. Finally, a “mineral” accord of ambergris seems simultaneously warm and cool, delivering deceptively straightforward depth to mimic the sophistication of Baccarat Crystal itself. Each accord is given new strength in Extrait form, harmonizing above the skin with a stunning power and intensity. Like a crystalline kaleidoscope, the Extrait opens brighter, fruitier, and shinier, and, it lasts long into the wild night.

🌺 Top Notes: Bitter almond and saffron

🌺 Middle Notes: Egyptian jasmine and cedar

🌺 Base Notes: Musk, Woody notes, and ambergris

It is perfect perfume for winter time –  woody, amber, warm spicy and animalic main accords. I would surely recommend it to a person who has a strong and charismatic personality and who would like to stand out of the crowd with such an amazing and mysterious scent.
