The bold opening is a classic bergamot start, but I find it darker than usual. Already there is aldehydes similar with the ones in Chanel N°5, but I find this opening more aromatic and almost a bit masculine. Surprisingly there is also a gourmand note of candied orange playing along in the top.
However, soon enough it calms down to become a more soft and feminine fragrance with rose and jasmine flourishing in the heart. But here is also notes of vetiver and powdery iris that prevents this fragrance of going in a soapy or overly sweet direction. These notes are later enforced with amber, musk and vanilla and a lonley violet. And in all it developes into a lovley base.
This is my new crush that surprised me a lot. I'm not used to wear dark, aromatic fragrances. But I love this combination of edgy aromatic top, soft creamy floral heart and powdery base.
As said before it has bombshell qualities but without beeing obvious about it, and I like that a lot. If leather or skanky animalistic notes were added to this beauty I think it would have detroyed the spirit of it.
Baghari is outside conventions and expectations: everything unforseen can happen. It is a fragrance for the free spirited and self confident, and its up to the wearer to create her or his own destiny. Even if it's just for the closest hour ahead.

Baghari goes on like hospital sterilizing alcohol. Don't let that put you off - after about five minutes, it morphs into aldehydes like never before. Normally in an aldehydic composition, the aldehydes stand out in an obvious way. You immediately recognize that sparkling soapy synthetic quality, so foreign from the florals and woods that ground it. I find that in Baghari IT ISN'T LIKE THAT. The aldehydes don't just float on top of the florals like oil with water; they are part of the bouquet. It's difficult to explain. Imagine dry woods/moss and powdery florals in a typical organic combination. Instead of slapping aldehydes on top, Baghari laces them throughout. In the end, it produces something neither woody nor floral nor aldehydic. It's this bizarre fusion that I can't compare with anything else out there, and it's wonderful.
In my imagination, Baghari is what Queen Mab would smell like. There is the forest she walks in, vibrant woods and deep purple flowers unfolding in the secret hours of the night. But infused in this forest scene is the oneiric and eerie. This transcendent quality brings the trees to life and the sylphs out from hiding behind the violets. But don't linger, or you might be turned into a nag or put to eternal slumber.
For me, the first four hours or so are the best part - the magic doesn't last forever. The flowers fall out first, the mossy woods fade; in the end the sweet ambery vanilla is the only survivor. But press your nose against your skin and there's something . . . otherworldly . . . about it. Baghari was there.


To compare another scent like this, I would compare it to a quiet and reserved L'Heure Bleue devoid of notes of heliotrope and less spicy notes. Baghari is calming, romantic, and seductive without smelling overtly sexual. I've read that this new incarnation of Baghari is less animalic but retains its reserved elegance from the 1950s period.
