«The same molecule poured thicker — almond and wood dragging it darker.»
Baccarat Rouge 540 is the one a stranger names in the elevator; Extrait pushes further and lasts longer but meets fewer trained noses. Want the recognisable signature, take the EDP; want density and reach minus the meme, take the Extrait.

The Extrait's cloud fills the elevator faster; Baccarat Rouge 540 arrives a step behind but still travels.
Which is more recognizable?

The EDP gets clocked fastest — it trained the internet; fewer wear the Extrait, so it's named less — real gap, no chasm.
Where can you wear it?

Both are too much for a tight office — evening and cool weather; here they sit essentially level.
How similar they are
Scent100%
Practically twins: this is literally the same saffron-jasmine-ambroxan accord.

The family feel loosens, though: the EDP airier and brighter, the Extrait darker and denser.

Then they split:

Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfumalmondcashmeranmuskwoody notes
They share saffron, jasmine, ambroxan and cedar; fir and hedione keep the EDP airborne while almond and cashmeran weigh the Extrait down — one skeleton, different flesh.
2015 against 2017 — the EDP built the legend, the Extrait skimmed the cream two years on.
Both are niche MFK; the Extrait claims the serious-collector flex and does earn the density — but not a higher league.
The EDP is searched more — the crowd's pick is the brighter, more recognisable one, the Extrait a footnote for devotees.
