Description
Saskia opens with a fresh, spicy kick from pink pepper, ginger, and violet leaves that sets a lively tone, quickly giving way to the floral heart where gardenia, ylang ylang, mimosa, and the distinctive fruity-spicy boronia take center stage. Immortelle adds a syrupy, hay-like depth that blends with water hyacinth and myrtle for a misty, petrichor-like shop atmosphere. It settles into an oakmoss base that keeps things green and earthy without overpowering the blooms. The evolution feels like wandering through a high-end flower boutique—vibrant yet refined, with moderate projection that lasts a good 6-8 hours on skin. Perfumer: Christophe Laudamiel

Community Insights
Reviewers praise Saskia for its authentic flower shop vibe, with rich florals that feel both lush and wearable. Many note the unique boronia and immortelle combo sets it apart from typical gardenia scents. Longevity gets solid marks, though some wish for stronger sillage.
