There is a definite almond accord in the opening. Has a sweeter overall aspect than the EDP, as well as more projection and longevity. I'll need to spend more time with it. I love the sweetness and the ambergris dry down. Incredibly well blended and completely refined, Baccarat Rouge is a wonderful journey.
When I bought it, I planned to use it only for special occasions. But then I'm addicted. This fragrance is too enchanting not to wear everyday. It is really a mood booster! I am not a kind of people who wear a fragrance to please anybody; but with this perfume, my self-centric choice is applauded by many. "A combination of fun and elegance what are you using now?" is a common reaction, for which my egoism could only answer
To my nose, the sweetness is turned up on this Extrait version. That's the one thing that stands out from the original BR 540 when I smell them side-by-side. Otherwise, it is very similar in smell and performance for me.
