Scent Inspiration: The combination of a sweet, fruity, and musky scent with some woody and spicy elements has led many fragrance enthusiasts to believe that Philos Rosso is an inspired version of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540, a very popular and high-end niche fragrance. The "Rosso" (Italian for red) in the name may also be a nod to the "Rouge" in the original.
