In celebration of its 250th anniversary, fine crystal manufacturer Baccarat and fragrance house Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris have collaborated to launch Rouge 540. Launched in 2014 with only 250 numbered crystal bottles, the Baccarat Rouge 540 fragrance has now gained new momentum in a new setting, the Maison Francis Kurkdjian signature bottle. Master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian formed this perfume by drawing on old techniques to create this french style perfume. He started with three accords which he felt represented the brand - minerals, heat/fire and air flow - which combined the magic of nature and man, transforming raw materials into a sensory experience. Top notes of the fragrance comprise jasmine and saffron, ambergris is at the heart of the scent, while cedar and fir balsam are at the base. Available mid-January 2016 Maison Francis Kurkdjian Rouge 540 natural spray is priced at £195 for 70ml at Selfridges, Liberty, Harvey Nichols, John Lewis, Les Senteurs, Harrods, and their corresponding websites.
