A citrus, vanilla and white musk perfume opens on bright citrus and fruit, then turns soft and creamy as vanilla and musk come through. Safi by Sara Sakina follows this profile closely: lemon, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange on top, a Mediterranean fruit heart, and amber, Madagascar vanilla beans and white musk in the base. Safi is a 100 ml extrait de parfum, sold in Canada online and at Oakville Place, and there is a 5 ml tester.

Key takeaways

  • The profile: lemon, bergamot and orange over fruit, with amber, vanilla and white musk.
  • Our pick: Safi by Sara Sakina, an extrait de parfum built on exactly these notes.
  • Softer option: Lattafa Ana Abiyedh, which adds pear.
  • Try it first: order the 5 ml tester, or smell it at our Oakville Place boutique.
  • Our own composition: Safi is an original blend mixed by Aymane Zerzkhane.

What does a citrus, vanilla and white musk perfume smell like?

This profile is fruity, citrus and musky. Lemon, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange give a bright, juicy opening, Mediterranean fruit fills the heart, and amber, Madagascar vanilla beans and white musk make a soft, creamy base. On skin it reads as fresh citrus that settles into a clean, warm musk.

Here are the two side by side. Notes follow each house's published lists.

Safi by Sara Sakina: citrus and fruit over vanilla and musk

Safi is our own perfume. Its notes are lemon, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian orange on top, Mediterranean fruit in the heart, and amber, Madagascar vanilla beans and white musk in the base. Safi is an extrait de parfum, the most concentrated style of perfume, and comes with our 10 to 12 hour longevity guarantee. A note list does not show how the materials are balanced, so the fairest test is to wear it. Order the 5 ml tester and try it on your own skin.

Lattafa Ana Abiyedh: softer, with pear

Lattafa Ana Abiyedh shares bergamot, orange, vanilla, amber and musk with this profile, and adds pear, so it reads softer and sweeter than Safi. It is an eau de parfum in a 60 ml bottle.
