Leopard

7.8

Sarah Baker Perfumes · 2016

Floral · Green · Fruity

Sarah Baker Perfumes Leopard is a unisex scent led by sandalwood, cardamom and rose, deepened by patchouli, labdanum and frankincense. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters spread their picks across all four seasons, with fall and summer slightly ahead. Leisure and night-out wear lead, and it also suits evenings and the office. The scent reads as one piece: the spice of cardamom and black pepper is softened by creamy sandalwood. Rose and violet add a floral layer, galbanum brings a green edge and blackcurrant a fruity touch. Labdanum, frankincense and musk give it a resinous, sweet warmth.

Greek Keys

6.4

Sarah Baker Perfumes · 2016

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Sarah Baker Perfumes Greek Keys is a unisex scent where pink grapefruit, mandarin orange and lemon meet ozonic notes, with a green, woody side behind them. Greek Keys has good longevity and moderate sillage. Voters place it mostly in leisure, business and daily wear, and in sport as well; evening and night out come lower. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. The citrus notes set a fresh, aquatic base. Calone and hedione keep it airy, while rosemary and elemi resin add a green, lightly spicy line. Cedar, vetiver and oakmoss carry the woody side. Langé California Wave and Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.

Riders / Bascule

7.5

Sarah Baker Perfumes · 2020

Fresh · Floral · Green

Sarah Baker Perfumes Riders / Bascule is a unisex scent that sets leather, tobacco and amber against the green freshness of grass and lily of the valley. Bergamot and peach add a light fruity sparkle, while grass, hay and fir draw a green line through it. Leather, tobacco and metallic notes leave a dry, animalic trace beneath that freshness. Amber, musk and vetiver round it all off on a woody base. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticed up close more than from across the room. It reads comfortably on both men and women. Le Labo Bergamote 22 and Pekji Zeybek have a close profile.
