    Peach Trilogy collection by Sarah Baker

    Chris Maurice, 2024/2025.

    During Esxence 2025, Sarah Baker launched Pastel Rumours and Rococo Pie, completing the trilogy dedicated to peaches, introduced last year with Peach’s Revenge. The perfumes result from a long-standing cooperation with the perfumer Chris Maurice.

    Peaches are peachesin this trilogy, the Peach is an entity with flesh, juice, and skin, a character, and a mood: easy-going and indulgent, sweet but tricky, or subtly but precisely revengeful.

    Each perfume creates an olfactory insight into what a nice peach can do when its peachiness is turned from all-peachy into something else.

    I love that touch of larger-than-life feminine drama.
