The best Maison Francis Kurkdjian dupe in Australia is Larcin Vermilion, inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540. The original is famous for two things, its glow and its staying power, which is why weak dupes of it are so easy to spot. Vermilion rebuilds the profile at 30% extrait so the sweet-amber signature holds for hours, not minutes. A second pick inspired by Grand Soir is joining the range. All are independent interpretations rather than reproductions, and Larcin has no affiliation with Maison Francis Kurkdjian.
The one everyone asks about: Baccarat Rouge 540 is the most duped scent in the world, and most attempts fade within the hour. Vermilion takes the opposite approach: extrait strength first, so the glow people buy it for actually survives the day.

Vermilion, inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540
The scent that launched the entire sweet-amber trend. Vermilion follows the same warm, glowing, faintly smoky signature, saffron and jasmine over amberwood and soft cedar, that made the original the most requested "what are you wearing" fragrance of the last decade. The most universally complimented bottle in the Larcin range, and genuinely unisex. Read the full Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe Australia guide, or shop Vermilion.

Why 30% extrait matters for a Baccarat Rouge dupe
