Ta'if

by Geza Schoen

Ormonde Jayne Ta'if is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Geza Schoen. The fragrance opens with Date, Saffron, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Taif Rose, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Broom and Amber.

Our verdict on Ta'if: Favourite

Ta'if is a sweet, spicy rose that's often misunderstood. Some find it a beautifully blended ode to the Ta'if rose, while others are baffled by its abstract nature or find it too synthetic. It's a divisive one, but those who love it, really love it.

About

Ta'if bursts open with an unusual sweetness from dates, cut by the subtle spice of saffron and a hint of pink pepper. The heart unfurls a multi-faceted rose, not explicitly a deep red bloom but an airy, almost abstract floral accord, sweetened by jasmine and orange blossom. A soft, warm amber base anchors the composition, hinting at a Middle Eastern elegance with an intriguing broom note adding a touch of herbal dryness.
