Now, I can barely go a day without receiving a DM or having a friend ask me whether Baccarat Rouge 540 is worth the money, so I thought I’d share my advice here. In short: Yes, this perfume is worth every penny of its price tag. It smells unlike anything you will have ever smelled before. It’s warm, comforting, and a little bit sweet. It has a blend of jasmine, saffron, cedarwood, and fir resin, so it’s difficult to pull out any individual note. Instead, they all blend together to create one of the most beautiful perfumes I have ever smelled.

It’s inoffensive enough to be worn during the day with a cozy sweater or white shirt yet unique and powerful enough to finish off any evening look. In my opinion, there isn’t anybody who wouldn’t be absolutely smitten with it. And as for the price, yes, it’s painfully expensive, but artisanal perfumes like this one should be. It smells as expensive as it is and makes you feel indescribably wonderful. Honestly, if I were going to recommend spending $325 on any beauty product, it would be this one, hands down.
