SAINT ABO
Saint Abo of Tiflis (c. 786 ) holds a unique place in history: he was not only the Patron Saint of Tbilisi but a master perfumer from Baghdad.
Born in the heart of the ancient world's fragrance trade, Abo mastered the chemistry of precious attars and ointments before traveling the Silk Road to Georgia. It was there, captivated by the faith of the local people, that he converted to Christianity—a devotion that would eventually demand the ultimate sacrifice.
History records that upon his martyrdom, the air did not smell of death. Instead, a divine, sweet fragrance rose from his grave—a scent so powerful it is said to linger to this day.
Saint Abo Cologne is our attempt to capture that eternal spirit.
A dark, resinous tribute to the Perfumer Saint—a legacy distilled into smoke, spice, and faith.

Top Notes (The First Impression)
Tobacco, Leather
The fragrance defies convention, opening immediately with a rugged, masculine intensity. A bold rush of cured leather and sweet tobacco leaf hits the senses first, establishing a powerful presence from the very first spray.
Heart Notes (The Core)
Dark Chocolate, Caramel
As the intense opening settles, the scent bridges into a rich, gourmand center. Smooth dark chocolate and burnt caramel create a sophisticated sweetness that softens the leather without losing the edge.
Base Notes (The Long-Lasting Trail)
Coffee, Cinnamon, Oud
The dry-down reveals the deep, resounding soul of the fragrance. The warmth of roasted coffee beans and spicy cinnamon emerges, grounded by the ancient, resinous depth of Oud (Agarwood) that stays on the skin for hours.
