SAQI – Inspired by Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois

Saqi is a fragrance built around contrast, clarity, and refinement. The opening is immediately striking, where juicy mandarin orange meets the warm, slightly leathery spice of saffron. This combination feels clean yet unconventional, blending citrus brightness with a mineral edge that gives the scent its signature modern identity. The opening is not loud or sweet, but luminous and confident, setting a tone that feels futuristic and composed.

As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals its smooth and elegant complexity. Violet adds a soft, powdery floral nuance that cools the composition, while Chinese osmanthus introduces a subtle fruity leather facet that feels refined and textured. Immortelle contributes a dry, slightly honeyed warmth that enriches the heart without making it heavy. This stage feels airy and sculpted, balancing floral softness with a mineral, almost metallic elegance that keeps the scent intriguing.

The dry down is where Saqi truly defines its character. Mineral notes create a clean, stone like smoothness that feels modern and architectural. Leather emerges gently, refined rather than aggressive, adding depth and sophistication. Akigalawood brings a spicy, woody sharpness that enhances structure, while musk softens the base and adds a close skin sensuality. Together, these elements create a long lasting trail that feels calm, confident, and effortlessly distinctive.

Saqi is designed for those who appreciate originality and understated power. It wears beautifully in professional settings as well as evening occasions, offering a signature that feels intelligent, modern, and unique. This is not a fragrance that follows trends. It stands apart with quiet authority, leaving an impression that feels refined, confident, and unmistakably memorable.
