Scent Story

Velvet Aura was built to echo Baccarat Rouge 540.

Velvet Aura opens with airy sweetness and polished saffron, then settles into amber woods that feel warm, smooth, and unmistakably expensive.

It was built for long wear, clean projection, and that magnetic trail people notice before they know why.

Questions

Frequently asked

How long does it last?

Most customers can expect strong wear through a full day, especially when applied to moisturized skin and clothing. Skin type, weather, and number of sprays can change the final result.

Does it really smell like the original?

It is inspired by Baccarat Rouge 540 and made to capture the same general scent direction. It is not identical, affiliated, or presented as the original fragrance.

Why is it so much cheaper than Maison Francis Kurkdjian?

Ascent focuses on the fragrance itself, not designer retail overhead, boutiques, celebrity campaigns, or luxury packaging markups. That lets us keep the bottle at 49$.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Our perfumes are made for external use on skin, but sensitivity is personal. Patch test first if you react easily, and avoid eyes, irritated skin, or broken skin.

What if I do not love it?

Send it back within 30 days, even if you have opened it. We built the guarantee so trying a new scent feels easy.

How fast is shipping?

Orders ship from Canada in 1-2 business days. Delivery time depends on your province and carrier speed.
