What do reviewers say about Sandal Rice and Saaqi?
Some fragrances ask you to work for them. This one doesn't, it just wants to hold you. The rice note is unusual, yes, but it gives the coffee and caramel somewhere warm to land instead of cloying.Sandal Rice
The wine note isn't faint. It's the first thing you smell, and it works because the tobacco and smoke take over before you can call it a gimmick. What starts as something bold settles into something.Saaqi
