Saiph Attar

An urban rooftop garden at twilight — where the crispness of early evening meets the lingering warmth of the day, and scents of vanilla and florals blend with the city skyline.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Tiziana Terenzi and crafted by Paolo Terenzi, Saiph Attar is a complex Oriental fragrance that balances an ozonic opening with rich, warm accords. The composition begins with fresh citrus notes like bergamot and lemon, paired with the tropical zest of passionfruit, before transitioning to a heart of rose and orris. This creates a tension between freshness and warmth, culminating in a base of vanilla, cedar, patchouli, and vetiver that grounds the fragrance in earthy sensuality.

How to wear it

Saiph Attar opens with a bright citrus-aromatic burst that fades within an hour. To fully appreciate its warm base notes, apply to pulse points and allow it to develop on your skin over time. This fragrance reads better in close proximity than from across the room.
