SASVA
Saaqi
 
In a tavern along the Silk Road where India meets Persia, wine flows like poetry, and love and divinity intertwine, under lantern-lit arches, voices echo with the verses of Khayyam, Hafez, and Rumi—each sip a taste of both desire and the divine. A tribute to the Sufi Saaqi wine bearer, who pours not just wine, but a passage to eternity, where yearning meets enlightenment.
Perfumer: Christian Carbonnel
Saaqi opens with the opulent richness of red wine, layered with the creamy warmth of almonds and the spice of black pepper. Smoky tobacco and cedarwood dominate the heart, evoking the haze of an ancient tavern. The dry down is decadently gourmand, with oud blending seamlessly into luscious caramel, velvety vanilla, and the balsamic sweetness of benzoin, all softened by a sensual touch of musk.
