Imagine a fragrance that resonates like an ancient mantra, wrapped in modern Oriental luxury.
This is Qaaid—a unisex composition launched by the Czech niche house S.A.C.K.Y in 2016.
The fragrance belongs to the Oriental family and is presented in Eau de Parfum concentration, offering richness and depth.
Qaaid is more than just a perfume—it is a statement. Its very strong sillage leaves a smoky, resinous trail that lingers long in the memory.
This is a fragrance for those who are not afraid to be noticed, who value confidence and composure even at the heart of the action.
Its versatile unisex character makes it equally magnetic on men's and women's skin, revealing different facets on each.
The story and philosophy of S.A.C.K.Y. invite you into a world of Oriental luxury, reimagined through the lens of contemporary European perfumery.
The brand's founder, Elisabeth Isabella Saky, creates fragrances that erase the boundaries between cultures and eras.
Qaaid is a vivid embodiment of this approach: it carries both the ancient wisdom of the East and the boldness of the European avant-garde. Learn more about the brand on its official website.
If you have fallen for Qaaid, you will surely appreciate other compositions with a similar mood. For example, Tiziana Terenzi Dionisio is another powerful Oriental woody-resinous unisex fragrance.
For lovers of darker, smokier nuances, Naomi Goodsir Bois d'Ascese is an excellent choice, while fans of spicy balsamic accords may prefer Coquillete Herat.
Each of these fragrances echoes Qaaid in its own way, offering a unique journey into the world of Oriental perfumery.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition opens with a spicy duo of cinnamon and smoky tobacco, creating a warm, alluring aura.
At the heart of the fragrance unfolds a complex accord of slightly sweet labdanum, refined rum, and salty ambergris, lending depth and sensuality.
The base is a true olfactory foundation, where resinous benzoin, coniferous cedar, smoky incense, earthy oakmoss, and once again ambergris intertwine, enhancing the fragrance's longevity and trail.
The result is a rich, multifaceted pyramid in which every note plays an important role.
