Ormonde Jayne Ta'if Elixir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Ta'if Elixir opens with Date, Pink Pepper, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Broom, Amber, and Oud. Ormonde Jayne's Ta'if Elixir carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive upgrade to a classic. If you're after a sophisticated oud-and-date combo that makes a statement, you'll love it. But if you prefer the original's lighter touch, you might find this Elixir version a bit too much.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The rich, sweet, and animalic accords, combined with its strong presence, make it less suited for a typical office environment or casual wear. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, where its luxurious character can be fully appreciated.

About

Ta'if Elixir opens with an unexpected hit of sweet, chewy dates, spiced up with a whisper of saffron and pink pepper. The heart unfurls a lush, airy rose, joined by bright jasmine and orange blossom, and a touch of freesia. As it settles, a smooth, creamy oud emerges, grounding the sweetness with an amber warmth and a hint of broom flower, creating a rich, profound finish.
