by Sarah Baker Perfumes
Charade Sarah Baker Perfumes is a deeply complex, vintage-inspired chypre with a bold, honeyed tuberose heart layered over mossy, woody, and leathery accords. It opens with a lush, sweet floral burst of tuberose, amber, and honey, anchored by veils of leather, styrax, and oakmoss. The evolution is dynamic—initially powerful and floral, it gradually settles into a dry, smoky, resinous base where vetiver, patchouli, and sandalwood create a subtle warmth. The fragrance projects strongly and lingers for hours, with that persistent, velvety sillage giving it a theatrical presence. Despite its sweet notes, it feels far from cloying, exhibiting a cold, almost icy elegance that keeps it grounded and modern. It's a fragrance of contrast—opulent yet restrained, floral yet masculine in character. It suits the wearer who embraces sophistication, theatricality, and a sense of daring mystery without compromising on wearability.
