Enigma of Taif

by Shinichiro Oba

Swiss Arabian Enigma of Taif is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Shinichiro Oba. Enigma of Taif opens with Pepper, Plum, Elemi, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Osmanthus, Taif Rose, Violet, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Vetiver, Oak, and Amber. Swiss Arabian's Enigma of Taif carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This Taif rose and amber creation is a powerful, polarising scent. Expect a battle for hearts and minds with this beast-mode, dark floral that some adore for its luxurious depth and others dismiss as a burnt tyre. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Its nuclear projection and lasting power, combined with its strong, dark rose and amber profile, make it entirely unsuitable for office or casual wear. It shines brightest on special occasions and dates where its luxurious, attention-grabbing aura can be appreciated without overwhelming.

About

Enigma of Taif opens with a bold, spicy kick of pepper and cardamom, quickly melting into a rich, jammy Taif rose at its heart. This deep floral is entwined with the opulent warmth of saffron and frankincense, before settling into a luxurious base of sticky molasses, earthy oak, and dark, resinous amber. It's a complex, evolving scent where sweetness and spice meet a profound woody depth.
