The scent of daring and desire: Riders (Bascule)
Riders (formerly Bascule) by Sarah Baker Perfumes is not simply a fragrance; it's a complete scene. An olfactory painting of fresh grass, worn leather, and that irresistible magnetism that arises when the wild intersects with the sensual. Inspired by the equestrian world and the intensity of country life, this unisex fragrance redefines the concept of leather, making it alive, vibrant, and surprisingly emotional.
From the first moment, the luminous green top note of mown grass, juicy peach, and sparkling bergamot places us in the countryside after a ride. It's a vital, clean, almost damp opening, like the morning air brushing against the skin after a gallop in the sun. In a few seconds, it gives way to an exquisite heart, where lily of the valley and hay evoke stables scented by nature, with an unexpected twist: a metallic accord that hints at the touch of a stirrup, the tension of iron against leather.
In the drydown, the fragrance reveals its most sensual and enveloping character. The base of deep leather, earthy vetiver, warm amber, animal musk, and a subtle accord of tobacco and fir form a hypnotic aromatic cushion. This is where Riders shows its true power: sophisticated, provocative, full of texture and magnetism.
A signature work with an indomitable spirit
The genius behind this creation is Ashley Eden Kessler, an avant-garde perfumer who has captured in this formula all the theatricality and naturalness of a galloping escape. Riders represents sporty elegance, latent desire, and the rebellion of someone who isn't afraid to get dirty with mud or emotions.
Sarah Baker Perfumes, a brand renowned for its artistic narrative and uncompromising approach, offers a fragrance that doesn't follow trends, but rather creates an atmosphere, a story on the skin. Riders isn't just a scent; it's experienced like a furtive scene beneath the shade of a stable, amidst hay and panting, amidst nobility and savagery.
Who is Riders for?
Ideal for those seeking a different signature fragrance, bold yet refined, that combines the classic soul of leather with a new, green, and luminous energy. It's unisex, but full of personality: perfect for free spirits, for those who feel more alive outdoors than in an office, and for those who carry within them an indomitable force that doesn't need to shout, just let you smell it.
Use it in autumn and spring to leave a trail that combines naturalness and subtle eroticism. It works during the day, but takes on a magnetic aura during evening encounters, especially if there's a certain tension in the air...
The perfume that smells like a getaway
There's no other perfume like it. Riders (Bascule) doesn't simply imitate leather: it transforms it into a bucolic fantasy, a complete experience that smells of skin, freedom, and wild desire. In a market saturated with imitations and flat florals, Riders bursts forth with the power of a steed in full swing.
Do you want a fragrance that's unlike anything else, that speaks of you even before saying your name? Riders is the answer.
