Everyone needs a signature scent; whether you’re into floral, musk, fresh and even woodiness. A perfume or cologne is a vital aspect of one’s individualism and personality. When we think of a good perfume, we want to try out the best of the best. With that, no perfume is being talked about as much on the internet and beauty community much like the Baccarat Rouge 540- so let’s chat.

Have you ever smelled a scent that instantly brought to mind a certain person? The effect is unquestionably significant, regardless of when or where it occurs. This is what it means to have a signature scent and why it’s so important.

For example, many celebrities talk a lot about how sexy and alluring Rihanna smells and it’s all thanks to Love, Don’t Be Shy by Kilian. It becomes one’s associate identity; why wouldn’t you want people to describe you in connection with your iconic scent.

As a fragrance addict, I’m always looking out for my new signature scent. I know I like sweet, warm and amber-ish scents so the moment I tried out the Baccarat Rouge 540, I knew she was the one for me. The perfume has been a quiet cult classic but with the wave of social media, the cats are out of the bag and people are talking about it non-stop.

Therefore, I decided to take this opportunity to give you guys an honest review which I hope will be useful especially for those who are blind buying. In this article, Beauty Insider is dishing out everything you need to know all about the Baccarat Rouge 540.

What is the Baccarat Rouge 540?

Baccarat Rouge 540 was designed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian in 2014 to commemorate Baccarat’s 250th anniversary with a limited edition of 250 bottles. Before founding his immensely famous perfumes Maison Francis Kurkdjian, Kurkdjian was responsible for masterpieces such as Jean-Paul Gautier’s Le Male and Narciso Rodriguez For Her.

The base notes of Baccarat Rouge 540 include jasmine, saffron, and cedar, which provide a rich scent sensation. It’s light and airy, and when used, it gives the impression of cleanliness. With that, its fresh fruity note overtones don’t shred the linings of the nostrils; instead, they provide a sensation of sweetness while in close proximity.

Baccarat Rouge 540 is available in two scents: Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Parfum. Both have the same scent, but the silage and the pricing are different. The majority of Parfum and Extrait formulations include between 12 and 30% perfume oil. Whereas, Extrait is the highest degree of perfume oil available. Both smell the same to me, however, the Extrait has a little more depth, duration, and throw.

What Does It Smell Like?

The fragrance has a lot of wood in it, which adds some spice to the mix. Legendary aromas create and inspire emotion, while good fragrances smell good. The Baccarat Rouge 540 experience is enticing; it defies the contemporary corporate tendency of relying on a staff of olfactory specialists. This scent is deeply personal, which is undoubtedly a major role in its stratospheric rise to fame.

How Is The Longevity Of The Baccarat Rouge 540?

Generally, it should fade between 6 and 8 hours. Baccarat Rouge 540, on the other hand, does outlast the majority of its competitors. Personally, for me, I’ve been able to use it and have it last for up to 10 hours max! I would be out the door for lunch with my gals and have the day stretch to date night with the boyfriend and the woody smells still lingers like a fog.

Of course, this all depends on what you do throughout the day, the climate around you and even where you apply it to. The scent won’t last if you’re blindly spraying against your clothes. Therefore, learn about heat points on your skin to make the scent last longer such as your wrist, the inside of your elbow and behind your knee.

Do I love and adore the Baccarat Rouge 540? Obviously, that’s a big, fat YES. Why else would I write a whole article about it! And despite how great I’ve raved about this perfume and the many others online that vouch for it, it does come with a few cons.

For starters, the S$400 price tag; not everyone has the luxury to purchase it. Additionally, with so many hyping up the perfume, blind buyers might have a specific expectation only to be disappointed by the outcome hence, burning the splurge.

Moreover, it is important to note that to really stand out with this perfume 1-2 sprays won’t do the trick. You would need multiple spritzes up to 5-8 to truly be bathed in this masterpiece. Although longevity is a prime winner, the modest spritz dispenser is debatable and lacking.
