Taif Aoud in detail
Taif Aoud takes its name from Taif, a city high in the mountains of Saudi Arabia, known for its rose fields. Roja Dove, who signs its perfumer's text, marries the rose with oud and incense. Volute files it among florals, with the rose remaining at the centre. Taif roses are traditionally distilled to make rose water and rose oil.
The official pyramid opens with aldehydes and bergamot, which add sparkle. The heart gathers geranium, rose, Grasse jasmine, ylang-ylang, clove and blackcurrant. The base pairs patchouli, oud, benzoin, vanilla, incense, labdanum and musk.
Taif Aoud is an evening scent for autumn and winter; blackcurrant and aldehydes lighten a rose that oud and incense make deep.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Lyric Woman by Amouage shares rose, geranium, ylang-ylang, patchouli and incense; 51 Pour Femme by Roja Parfums finds rose, jasmine, clove and benzoin again; Enigma Pour Femme, another Roja Dove creation, pairs geranium, rose, jasmine and vanilla.
