Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'nuclear performance' and 'monster sillage,' Taraf is far too potent for office wear, where it would overwhelm. It excels on dates and at formal events, or for 'sexy occasions' during cooler nights, where its bold projection and luxurious aroma can truly shine without being cloying.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Taraf bursts open with a vibrant, fresh accord of sparkling bergamot and herbaceous sage. This lively introduction gives way to a heart where aromatic rosemary intertwines with the rich, heady floral sweetness of rose. As it settles, a prominent, smooth leather note emerges, supported by the grounding warmth of cedar and a deep, enveloping amber, creating a luxurious and lasting finish that truly captivates.
