Saja is a mesmerizing, deeply spiritual oriental-floral fragrance from the French luxury niche house Loumari. Composed by the highly acclaimed perfumer Amélie Bourgeois, the fragrance is a poetic exploration of a pitch-black night illuminated only by the faint, razor-thin sliver of a crescent moon. It is built around a tranquil, meditative atmosphere where ancient smoke blends seamlessly with velvet fruits and rich petals. It opens with an expressive, evocative canopy of smoky dark incense, a fiery flash of pink pepper, and the deceptive, juicy crispness of ripe pear. It shifts into a highly sophisticated heart where a vibrant, majestic rose and powdery violet are drenched in a jungle-rich, jewel-like splash of tart raspberry. The composition then anchors itself on an opulent, exceptionally smooth baseline of dark agarwood (oud), precious saffron threads, earthy patchouli, and deep amberwood.
