✨ The Story Behind the Fragrance
Born from a legendary collaboration between Maison Francis Kurkdjian and the historic crystal house Baccarat, Baccarat Rouge 540 was originally created to commemorate Baccarat’s 250th anniversary. The number 540 refers to the temperature (in Celsius) at which crystal becomes red—a symbolic transformation that parallels the deep, rich transformation that occurs when this scent unfolds on your skin.
Francis Kurkdjian, the master perfumer behind some of the world’s most iconic scents, designed Baccarat Rouge 540 to strike a balance between transparency and intensity. The result is a unique signature fragrance that becomes one with the wearer, evolving into something truly personal and mesmerizing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this fragrance suitable for all-day wear?
A: Absolutely. Baccarat Rouge 540 is renowned for its longevity, often lasting 10–12 hours or more with just a couple of sprays. Its moderate to strong sillage makes it ideal for all-day wear—elegant enough for the office, powerful enough for night events.
Q: How does it compare to other CK (Calvin Klein) perfumes?
A: While Calvin Klein fragrances like Euphoria, CK One, or Obsession tend to focus on fresh, clean, and occasionally spicy tones, Baccarat Rouge 540 is a niche luxury fragrance that delivers a more intense, layered, and artistic composition. It leans warmer, richer, and more opulent than CK’s minimalist vibe, making it perfect for someone who’s ready to step into something bolder and more exclusive.
