Śasva Saaqi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Christian Carbonnel. Saaqi opens with Red Wine, Pepper, and Almond, settles into a heart of Smoke, Cedar, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Śasva's Saaqi carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Opens with an opulent red wine note, spiced with a sharp black pepper and a hint of sweet almond. This quickly evolves into a smoky heart of rich tobacco and dry cedar, creating a complex, alluring transition. The base settles into a warm, creamy vanilla, softened by caramel and a subtle, 'fuzzy' musk, leaving a luxurious trail.
