The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Noorolain Taif by Thameen, launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer Alexandre Illan, is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of a rich, floral bouquet intertwined with deep, warm spices. The composition opens with pink pepper, coriander, and black pepper, creating a vibrant freshness that leads into the heart of Taif rose and Turkish rose, which are enhanced by jasmine's sweet embrace. At its base, agarwood (oud) and cashmere wood blend seamlessly with amber to create an enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Noorolain Taif to pulse points for an immersive experience. The spicy top notes are brief but impactful, so layering it with a light mist on your hair or clothing can extend its presence throughout the day.
