Saaqi

Saaqi is a fragrant ode to the mystical wine bearer of Sufi poetry — the one who pours not only wine, but transcendence. Set in a lantern-lit tavern along the Silk Road, where India meets Persia, this scent captures a moment where love, desire and divinity dissolve into one.

Inspired by the verses of Khayyam, Hafez and Rumi, Saaqi evokes an atmosphere where red wine flows like poetry and every sip carries both earthly pleasure and spiritual awakening. It is a fragrance of intoxication — sensual, contemplative and eternal.

The composition opens with the opulent depth of red wine, enriched by the creamy warmth of almonds and sharpened by black pepper. In the heart, smoky tobacco and cedarwood rise like incense-filled air, conjuring the intimate haze of an ancient tavern. The dry-down is decadently gourmand and profound: oud melts into caramel and velvety vanilla, wrapped in the balsamic sweetness of benzoin and softened by a sensual veil of musk.

Saaqi is not merely a perfume — it is a ritual. A fragrance for those who seek meaning in pleasure, and eternity in desire.
