“Istanbul is my home, a place where I grew up. Every weekend we would go to the street markets to buy fresh produce - in Turkish they’re called Pazar. Going to a Pazar is a very special experience. The scents don’t just follow you - they assault your senses. Kilos of ripe lemons, tomatoes and oranges, freshly cut in half, mixed in with spices, fragrance melting into the hot summer air. This intense yet beautiful sensory experience leaves an imprint on your memory, vivid and inseparable from the soulful tapestry of Istanbul.”

Dedicated to the craft, Saardé co-founder Shenol Kizek has travelled to the world’s mecca of scents - the town of Grasse in the French Riviera. Guided by the masters of the craft from the local Institute of Perfumery, he has created his first two fragrances - Istanbul & Saint-Raphaël.

Chloe R. ★★★★★

The market-fresh vibe is exactly what comes through—sweet, green, and lively, like Sunday morning at the Pazar. I bought a small bottle for travel and ended up wearing it daily instead, the scent lasts a solid six hours on my skin.

Ella H. ★★★★★

Every time I wear this, I'm instantly transported back to a Saturday morning wandering the spice stalls and produce stands. The opening is so bright and alive, but it settles into something warm that lasts all day on my skin without being overwhelming.

Charlotte D. ★★★★☆

The Pazar note is so evocative—it actually pulls up that dusty-sweet smell of spice stalls and ripe figs. Lasts a solid 6 hours on my skin before fading to a soft skin scent. Only wish the bottle had a sprayer that didn't drip a bit.
