About

Tarab opens with a rich, opulent Turkish rose, immediately grounding the scent in a classic Middle Eastern-inspired framework. This deep floral heart is expertly interwoven with the dry, woody smokiness of oud, ensuring a sophisticated, weighty presence. As it settles, candied fruits emerge, adding a subtle, chewy sweetness that brightens the composition without detracting from its elegance. Cedar reinforces the woody backbone, providing a smooth, structured finish to this complex and inviting blend.
