The review
Card Red Surplus scores 7.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 87% less than Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum — the 2nd cheapest of 5 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is saffron and jasmine at first, amberwood and ambergris at its heart and fir resin and cedar at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

The cult crystal amber pushed deeper — jammy saffron, glowing amberwood and resinous smoke.
