By the editors · 2 min readRose de Taïf opens with a flash of lemon brightness tempered by nutmeg's warm spice, a prelude that quickly gives way to the perfume's true focus. The Damask rose at its center is plush and full-bodied, nearly honeyed in its depth, recalling the prized roses grown in the mountain valleys of Saudi Arabia. This isn't a dewy rose picked at dawn but one captured in full bloom, rich with natural oils.
As it settles, musk threads through the rose petals without softening them into abstraction. The composition remains focused and legible throughout, never veering into powder or losing sight of that opulent floral core.
This is a rose for those who want the flower presented with clarity and generosity, stripped of green stems or sharp thorns. It suits anyone comfortable wearing their tastes openly, without apology or understatement.
