Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent, loved by many for its unique take on tobacco, but others are left cold by what they perceive as an overwhelming clove note or disappointing performance. Don't blind buy; this is one you need to sniff out for yourself for fear of 'clove shock'.
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.

Occasions
