The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 and created by Pierre Montale, Taif Roses is a Floral fragrance for both women and men. The composition centers around the heart-stopping intensity of rose, layered with citrus notes that add a fresh, vibrant edge. This contrast between the bold floral richness and the crispness of the top notes creates an intriguing duality, making it feel both classic and modern.
Apply a light spritz to your pulse points; the citrus top notes are bright but fleeting. The heart and base notes will bloom gradually over time, providing a warm and enveloping scent that lasts well into the evening.
