It’s a well-known fact that sales aren’t all that common with luxury beauty brands — so this Baccarat Rouge Cyber Monday discount has been big news in the GLAMOUR office since it dropped just before the weekend. Despite once being a relatively well-kept secret, this luxury fragrance has taken off on TikTok this year, and has arguably even more of a buzz around it now than it did when it was first released eight years ago.
You may have already perused our edit of the best Cyber Monday fragrance deals and picked up the perfect scent for you. But if Baccarat Rouge 540 has been on your wishlist for a while, now is the perfect time to take the plunge — especially since prices are set to return to normal as of tomorrow.
Clearly, even with a 15% discount, it’s pricier than most other options. But considering you’ll get around 700 individual spritzes out of a 70ml bottle, it’s bound to see you through plenty of Christmas and New Years Eve parties to come. So this £35 saving is definitely not to be sniffed at!
What does Baccarat Rouge 540 smell like?
Born from a collaboration between Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Baccarat to celebrate the crystal manufacturer’s 250th birthday, the scent of Baccarat Rouge 540 is so very unique that it’s actually quite tricky to properly pin down. A concoction made up of woody fir resin and cedar, warm and intoxicating amber, leathery saffron and a touch of floral jasmine, the resulting blend is best described as sophisticated and powerful, yet warm and comforting with a slight touch of airy sweetness. And above all, it smells expensive, which is definitely what we’d want from such a pricy perfume.
The truly masterful thing about Baccarat Rouge 540 is how all the notes are blended so expertly that you’d struggle to pick out one specifically. Refusing to neatly fit in one specific fragrance family, it’s impossible to categorise, and its perfect balance of woody and floral notes makes it a stand-out scent for both men and women. Plus, thanks to the high concentration of oil in its formula, it’ll stick around on your skin for at least ten hours at a time.
In fact, the person who sums it up best is none other than Olivia Rodrigo, who recently revealed to GQ in a video interview that sweet or floral scents aren’t really her thing. And what is this mega pop star’s perfume of choice? Why, Baccarat Rouge 540 of course — which she says “just smells like you could maybe naturally smell this way — if you’re an angel.” And to be honest, we get exactly what she means.
