Which Should You Buy?
Smoking Hot is a divisive beast: some hail it a masterpiece of fruity tobacco, while others find it a cloying, synthetic apple shisha. It's bold, alluring, and definitely not for shrinking violets.
Saaqi is a divisive blend; a bold, sophisticated wine and tobacco scent that some find intoxicatingly unique while others are overwhelmed by a peppery kick. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it far too overpowering for an office setting. It truly shines on a date or for evening events, with its alluring and seductive character, but can be a bit much for everyday casual wear due to its strength.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its heavy sillage and unique, intense notes like wine and tobacco, Saaqi is best suited for evening wear and special occasions. It's too potent for the office and completely unsuitable for casual daytime activities or sport.
