Gissah Sava is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Sava opens with Red Fruits and Citrus, settles into a heart of Iris, Cinnamon, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Gissah's Sava carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive gourmand, often compared to Angel's Share, but without the boozy kick for most. Some find it a beautifully blended, robust alternative; others find the cinnamon cloying and overpowering. You'll either love how it fills a room or want to open all the windows.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Formal

Given its strong projection and gourmand profile, Sava is best suited for colder weather and evening wear. It's too assertive for an office setting and too heavy for sport, but creates a memorable impression for dates and casual outings.

Declarable allergens

About

Sava opens with a bright, fruity burst of red berries and citrus, quickly enveloped by a warm, sweet heart of praline and cinnamon. This delectable sweetness is anchored by a powdery orris, before settling into a rich, creamy base of vanilla, amber, and sandalwood. It's a sweet, comforting, and opulent scent, reminiscent of a spiced dessert.
