What Wearers Say
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540
One longtime wearer enjoys the airy jasmine, saffron and sugary character that settles into warm amber.
One EDP sampler found a dominant hospital-like smell that remained unpleasant on skin.
Lattafa Ana Abiyedh Rouge
One owner enjoys the sweet, fruity, bubblegum-like opening and the musk-and-moss drydown. A buyer also likes its airy smell.
The owner finds it quite linear and cannot pick out the listed caramel as a distinct note. Another buyer likes the scent but wishes it lasted longer.
The Verdict
BR540 is our pick: the word Rouge is the main link. Ana Abiyedh Rouge doesn't list saffron or jasmine. It's nashi pear, kumquat and bergamot with caramel and geranium, over ambergris, musk and oakmoss, a fruity, sweet musk with a mossy edge. BR540 is saffron and jasmine over dry woods, with ethyl maltol's candyfloss sweetness. For a cheaper BR540, look at ALT Crystal.
