Perris Monte Carlo Rose de Taif is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Luca Maffei. Rose de Taif opens with Lemon, Geranium, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Taif Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Rose. Perris Monte Carlo's Rose de Taif carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is Perris Monte Carlo's love letter to the Taif rose, a bold and unashamedly rosy affair that divides opinion. Some find it a realistic, exquisite rose, while others are put off by its sharp green and lemony facets.

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.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Rose de Taif bursts open with a zesty lemon and the distinctive green, slightly peppery kick of geranium, intertwined with a hint of warm nutmeg. This vivid intro quickly gives way to the star of the show: a potent, realistic Taif rose, supported by a rich Damask rose. The dry down settles into a clean, musky base, ensuring the rose remains the dominant, long-lasting presence.
