Sa'adah

Sa'adah, a 2017 fragrance from Anfas composed by Christian Carbonnel, is equally woody and floral, with a gourmand side and a smaller citrus touch.

The name means happiness in Arabic. Orange and neroli open it with a bright, clean citrus freshness, the first juicy and the second green and slightly soapy. The heart is a soft bouquet: rose brings a velvety note, violet a gentle powder and ylang-ylang a creamy, exotic sweetness. Pine tree and pine add an unexpected resinous, evergreen freshness. The base is warm and smooth: cedar and sandalwood give dry and creamy woods, while vanilla and tonka bean bring a cosy, almond-like sweetness.

The profile suggests spring and autumn, daytime and relaxed evenings, and social occasions where a warm, cheerful scent fits. It is meant to be worn by anyone who likes florals with a woody, piney freshness and a sweet vanilla base, and who wants a balanced, approachable fragrance that feels happy rather than serious.
