The story behind the bottle.
Ta'if by Ormonde Jayne, launched in 2004 and crafted by Geza Schoen, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of the opulent Taif Rose. The composition opens with pink pepper and dates, adding a sweet and spicy contrast before settling into the heart of taif rose, jasmine, and orange blossom. These floral notes are complemented by saffron and broom, creating a warm and enveloping scent. The base notes of amber provide a rich and sensual finish that lingers throughout the day.
Apply Ta'if to pulse points for a subtle yet lingering effect. The sweet and spicy top notes are most noticeable initially but give way to the rich floral heart after about 20 minutes. The amber base adds depth, ensuring the fragrance remains warm and inviting throughout the day.
