Flame & Fortune Sarah Baker
by Sarah Baker Perfumes
Flame & Fortune by Sarah Baker Perfumes is a bold, unisex floral that combines smoky depth with addictive juiciness. It opens with a radiant burst of apricot, ginger, citrus, and white flowers like tuberose and orange blossom, creating a warm yet fresh impression reminiscent of a sun-warmed garden at dusk. The core is a dynamic interplay of fiery, smoky notes—like embers of a campfire, aged tequila, and faint motor oil—giving it a mysterious, slightly industrial edge. As it settles, the fragrance reveals a long-wearing, intimate sillage, with a powdery, clean drydown that lingers subtly on skin and fabric. It evokes a sense of rebellious elegance—perfect for those who seek a fragrance that feels both luxurious and defiant. The composition balances sweetness with sharpness, making it more suitable for cooler months or nighttime wear.
