Tarab is a rose and oud that has divided opinion more than the North-South M1. Some call it uninspired, a mere rehash, while others defend its classic appeal saying the category exists for a reason. Prepare for a fight in the comments if you mention this one.

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.
