The Scent

Saffron opens it sweet and spicy alongside pear and mandarin orange, then jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lily move in, settling into amber, cashmere wood, and musk. One of the closer reads on the Baccarat Rouge 540 signature at this price, though it wears lighter and fades faster than the original.

Worth Knowing

The fragrance it's chasing, Baccarat Rouge 540, was commissioned in 2013 for the Baccarat crystal house's 250th anniversary, and its name nods to the 540°C temperature crystal is worked at. Fragrantica has called it the most cloned fragrance on the market right now, which says something about how many versions like this one exist.

Where It Came From

Released in 2021 as part of Maison Alhambra's Baroque series, in a catalog that's grown past 200 fragrances.

About Maison Alhambra

Maison Alhambra is a premium label from Lattafa Perfumes, launched in the early 2020s to sit a step above Lattafa's mainline releases. The name is a nod to the Alhambra palace in Granada, Spain, a nice fit for a brand built on blending Eastern oud tradition with a more European niche feel. In just a few years it's grown to a catalog of well over 200 fragrances.
