Baccarat Rouge 540: Eau de Parfum or Extrait? Differences and Prices in Kuwait
Last updated: 10 October 2026
Short answer: Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum is the well-known signature: jasmine and saffron over an ambergris accord and the sweetness of ethyl maltol. The Extrait de Parfum does not change the idea but concentrates it, adding bitter almond and musk, in a red bottle. In our store the Eau de Parfum comes in three sizes from KWD 77.200 for 35 ml, and the Extrait is KWD 101.400.
Where does the number 540 come from?
Francis Kurkdjian created this perfume in 2014 in a collaboration with the French crystal house Baccarat for its 250th anniversary. The number is tied to crystal making: at 540 degrees Celsius, crystal blended with gold powder turns the deep red that Baccarat is famous for. That is where the name comes from, and the colour of the Extrait bottle.
Why is it recognised from a distance?
The house builds the Eau de Parfum on three “auras”: air, with jasmine and saffron; mineral, with an accord evoking ambergris and dry woody notes; and fire, with ethyl maltol. Ethyl maltol is a sweet aroma material whose scent is close to burnt sugar and candy floss, and it gives the perfume its airy sweetness. Together with the warm, salty character of the ambergris accord, it forms the trail the perfume is known for, even after the wearer has passed.
Eau de Parfum or Extrait?
- Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum: classed by the house as floral amber woody, and described as luminous and refined. It is the lighter of the two, and the better fit for those who want the well-known signature.
- Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum: the house says it intensifies the three auras without moving away from the original idea. Grandiflorum jasmine at the heart, ethyl maltol with a touch of bitter almond, and the ambergris accord softened by a woody, ambery, musky accord. The bitter almond gives it a deeper, less airy sweetness than the Eau de Parfum.

In Kuwait’s heat
Heat increases the projection of sweet, ambery perfumes, and Baccarat Rouge 540 is one of them. In the daytime one or two sprays of the Eau de Parfum are enough, and the Extrait is best kept for evenings and the cooler months.
Questions not answered above
Are the hair mist and candle named Baccarat Rouge 540 versions of the perfume?
No, they are other products carrying the same name and used for a different purpose; they are not a concentration of the perfume.
How can the version be identified from the box?
The concentration is written under the name: Eau de parfum or Extrait de parfum, and the Extrait comes in a red bottle.
