In a tavern along the Silk Road, where India meets Persia, wine flows like poetry, and love and divinity intertwine, beneath lantern-lit arches, voices echo with the verses of Khayyam, Hafez, and Rumi—each sip, a taste of both longing and the divine. A homage to the Sufi cupbearer, Saaqi, who serves not just wine, but a passage to eternity, where yearning meets enlightenment.
Perfumer: Christian Carbonnel
Saaqi opens with the opulence and richness of red wine, layered over the creamy warmth of almonds and the spicy kick of black pepper. The heart of the fragrance is dominated by smoky tobacco and cedar notes, evoking the atmosphere of an ancient tavern. The final evolution is decadently gourmand, with oud blending seamlessly into delicious caramel, velvety vanilla, and the balsamic sweetness of benzoin, all softened by a sensual touch of musk.
