Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum for Everyone

What you are looking at is Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum for Everyone, a fragrance in a 200 ml bottle. At extrait strength it carries the heaviest oil load of the family, so it sits close to the skin and outlasts the lighter versions — a dab does the work of several sprays. Two or three sprays is usually plenty; rubbing your wrists together crushes the opening notes and shortens what follows. Discounted listings come and go, and rarely at the same shop twice. Heat and light are what spoil a fragrance, not age — stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps its character for a long time. Whoever is cheapest today may not be tomorrow, so it is worth looking again before settling on the best deal.
