Ta'if borrows its name from the Arabian city famed for its roses. It opens on saffron and pink pepper, made softer and deeper by date, like candied fruit.
The rose then blooms, surrounded by freesia, orange blossom and jasmine; the base, of vanilla, broom and amber, gives it a golden warmth. An opulent, self-assured fragrance that does not go unnoticed.

Ta'if in detail
Ormonde Jayne, a British perfumery devoted to rare materials, makes its fragrances in its own English workshop. Ta'if, signed by its founder Linda Pilkington, bears the name of a city in Saudi Arabia renowned for its roses, and turns it into a rosy, spicy, fruity amber.
The official pyramid opens on pink pepper, saffron and date, a sweet, honeyed fruit that gives the start an unexpected softness. The heart is a bouquet: rose, freesia, orange blossom and jasmine. The base pairs vanilla, broom, a yellow flower with honeyed accents, and amber for a warm, golden foundation.
Ta'if is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: a party, a dinner, an evening when you want a generous rose.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Lettre de Pushkar by Ella K Parfums brings together saffron, rose, orange blossom and vanilla; Epic Woman by Amouage pairs pink pepper, jasmine, amber and vanilla; Red Tobacco by Mancera finds saffron, jasmine, amber and vanilla again, with tobacco.
