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.

Its long-lasting nature and strong projection mean it's best applied sparingly for office wear, but its elegant and dramatic character makes it suitable for both casual and formal occasions, day or night. The powerful sillage might be too much for active wear.

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

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

Taif Roses throws you straight into an expansive rose garden, a potent, almost aggressive soliflore experience. Initial blasts are a sharp, green rose, often described with lemony facets, before mellowing into a richer, honeyed sweetness that showcases the flower's natural depth. While the star is undeniably the rose, some detect intriguing incense or woody undertones that add an unexpected complexity to this otherwise pure floral composition.
