Sarah Baker fragrances are renowned for their distinct blends and profound olfactory compositions, and Peach’s Revenge is no exception. It exudes an undeniable sophistication, like all the creations from the brand, and robustly embodies its theme with a captivating twist.
Peach’s Revenge was conceived under the fertile imagination of perfumer Chris Maurice. The central question posed by this fragrance is whether peach can transcend its typical portrayal as a playful, youthful scent to achieve a level of class and maturity.
Upon first application, the fragrance bursts forth with radiant peach and nectarine notes that immediately take center stage. The quality of peach in this perfume is extraordinary. It’s thick, like the density of peach marmalade, excluding its sugary taste. In fact, the peach here relies on its succulent, natural aroma and is accompanied by a sharp lactonic sharpness of whipped cream and oozy caramel. This intro subtly introduces a nostalgic element reminiscent of old-fashioned hairsprays, lipsticks, bubble gum, and shiny red nail polishes.
Gradually, by aging on the skin, it displays less fruity nuances and more oozy, spicy aftertaste with a clear shot of the almondy quality of amaretto, infused by ginger and cinnamon that conjures up the flavor and scent of peach slices over a bbq.
As the perfume progresses, deeper woodsy and resinous notes come into play, adding sophistication and a mature character and ensuring that this is a super long-lasting perfume.
The projection and longevity of the perfume are impressive, as expected from Sarah Baker’s creations, ensuring that the scent remains vibrant and present throughout the day and on clothing.
Peach’s Revenge could be interpreted as a modern olfactory allegory, with the peach serving as a metaphorical forbidden fruit—perhaps an allusion to Eve and The Fall. This interpretation adds an intriguing layer to the fragrance, inviting wearers to ponder the deeper meanings and historical connotations of fruity scents.
The success of Peach’s Revenge in elevating the peach to new heights of sophistication and excitement is comparable to how other contemporary fragrances have redefined fruity notes, such as Delta of Venus by Eris and Trayee by Neela Vermeire. These fragrances, too, have skillfully blended fruits with spices to create rich, complex olfactory experiences.
Peach’s Revenge stands out as a particularly memorable scent, especially in the context of Esxence, where the abundance of fragrances can make it difficult for individual scents to leave a lasting impression. This fragrance not only captures the imagination upon first encounter but also proves to be a compelling composition worth revisiting. For those in search of a fragrance that combines juiciness with a playful yet sophisticated twist, Peach’s Revenge is an essential discovery, offering a beacon of optimism in uncertain times.
