The Character and History of the Fragrance
Zodiac Bagdad is a unisex fragrance released in 2026 by Zodiac, a perfume brand from the UAE. The composition was released in extrait de parfum concentration and became part of the Zodiac Extrait de Parfum collection.
The name alone suggests a journey: Bagdad feels spicy, warm and multilayered, combining juicy fruits, drink-inspired nuances and a deep woody-balsamic base.
Zodiac works primarily with men's and unisex releases, aiming to emphasize the expressiveness and richness of its perfume formulas.
Bagdad fits this aesthetic perfectly: it is not a light citrus spray for everyday wear, but a distinctive fragrance with a dense character and a very powerful sillage.
The Fragrance Pyramid and Development
Zodiac Bagdad opens with a bright fruity-spicy accord.
Apricot and mango add ripe juiciness to the composition, while pomegranate and tangerine create a sparkling nuance, and grapefruit contributes the necessary bitter freshness.
Cardamom, ginger and pink pepper make the opening energetic and slightly piquant, while a honey note softens the citrus-spicy burst.
As it develops, the fragrance becomes softer and more enveloping.
In the heart, black tea blends with cappuccino and davana: the tea nuance adds a dry depth, cappuccino brings creamy gourmand warmth, and davana supports the composition with a green, herbaceous undertone.
This keeps Bagdad from becoming a simple sweet blend, preserving a complex, almost gastronomic character.
The final stage is built around cedar, labdanum, nagarmotha, patchouli and vetiver. The woody base gradually darkens, taking on a resinous, earthy and dry texture.
Tonka bean and vanilla round out the sillage, leaving a warm, subtly sweet aftertaste on the skin without sacrificing depth.
Who Will Enjoy Zodiac Bagdad
This fragrance is created for women and men who enjoy rich fruity-gourmand compositions with spices, tea and woody accents.
It is especially suited to cool weather, evenings, formal occasions or any moment when you want to make an impression with an expressive cloud of fragrance.
In warm weather, it is best applied sparingly: its high concentration and very powerful sillage can quickly become dominant.
One spray on the skin is enough for an introduction, after which the fragrance can be evaluated as it evolves.
Specific application recommendations for skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to start with a minimal amount and take into account your individual response to the composition.
On fabric, the spicy-sweet base may last longer than on skin, while longevity and intensity will depend on the material and wearing conditions.
Its Place in the Collection and Similar Fragrances
Zodiac Bagdad stands out through its combination of fruity juiciness, a coffee-and-tea heart and a dark woody base.
This balance makes it an interesting choice for fans of expressive oriental compositions who value not only sweetness but also the way a fragrance develops throughout the day.
Information about the perfumer, other concentrations and the release's precise significance for the brand is not available, so it is best evaluated through its own development on the skin.
For comparison, you can take a look at Roja Parfums Pierre de Velay No. 25, as well as Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute and Edgardio Chilini Silver Olibanum.
These fragrances share an interest in rich, noticeable compositions, but Zodiac Bagdad retains its own identity through the combination of mango, apricot, cappuccino, black tea and a resinous woody finish.
