Top notes: Red wine, almond, black pepper

Heart notes: Tobacco, smoky notes, cedarwood

Base notes: Oud, vanilla, caramel, benzoin, musk

Saaqi draws its inspiration from the ancient inns of the Silk Road and Sufi poetry where wine and mysticism intertwine. The fragrance opens intoxicatingly with rich red wine and creamy almond, given a sharp, spicy lift by black pepper. In the heart of the fragrance, the atmosphere deepens as smoky tobacco and dry cedarwood create a sense of aged wood and intimate conversations. The composition then rounds off with a dark, rich gourmand base where resinous oud merges with creamy vanilla, burnt caramel, and balsamic benzoin.

A complex, intoxicating, and deeply evocative creation by perfumer Christian Carbonnel, perfect for those seeking a darker gourmand with boozy undertones and a smoky character.

Fragrance family: Oriental gourmand, smoky, boozy
