Sarah Baker Perfumes Riders (Bascule) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Ashley Eden Kessler. Riders (Bascule) opens with Bergamot, Lily of the Valley, and Grass, settles into a heart of Leather, Hay, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Pebbles, Amber, and Vetiver. Sarah Baker Perfumes's Riders (Bascule) carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive fragrance. Some hail it as a genius, hyper-realistic horse stable in a bottle, while others find it simply offensive or entirely miss the mark. Expect a wild ride, and don't blind buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its potent animalic and green accords make it too audacious for most offices or formal settings. However, its unique character shines in casual outdoor situations, and it could be an intriguing, if risky, date night choice for the adventurous.

About

Riders opens with a fresh, green blast of grass and fir resin, quickly entwined with a prominent, almost metallic leather. Undertones of sweet peach and hay soften the barnyard edge, while a dirty, animalic musk adds depth and a touch of the unexpected, evolving into a subtly floral and tobacco-laced dry down.
