Sarah Baker Prism Head Extrait

Description

Prism Head is an avant-garde, earthy fragrance from Sarah Baker Perfumes, an independent house founded in 2015 and run from a studio in East London. Composed by perfumer Miguel Matos and launched in 2025, it is inspired by a hallucinogenic mushroom experience: a sharp, almost medicinal lemon opens over mushroom and cannabis, then softens into damp-earth geosmin, costus and musk, before settling into patchouli, vetiver and incense. It is deliberately unconventional, a scent for people who want something that smells like a cabin in the woods after rain.
