The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Enigma of Taif by Swiss Arabian is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by perfumer Shinichiro Oba. The composition opens with elemi and pink pepper, bringing a fresh spicy note that cuts through the sweetness of plum and black pepper. At its heart, Taif Rose takes center stage alongside cardamom and saffron, creating a rich blend of warmth and depth. As it settles into the base, olibanum, oak tree, amber, molasses, labdanum, and vetiver offer an earthy and woody foundation that grounds the fragrance in its luxurious complexity.
Apply Enigma of Taif to pulse points for an intimate, close-to-skin experience. The spicy top notes dissipate quickly, making way for the heart and base notes that develop over time. It is best suited for evening wear when you want a fragrance that evolves throughout the night.
