Zimaya Taraf Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Taraf Black opens with Bergamot, Oud, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Sugar Cane, Amber, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Zimaya's Taraf Black carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This budget-friendly Middle Eastern gem is surprisingly complex, offering a sweet, warm embrace that often defies its price tag. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love a subtly oudy, saffron-tinged amber, though some find the opening a bit sharp and the blend inconsistent.

About

Taraf Black unfurls with a sharp, intriguing blend of bergamot, exotic saffron, and a whisper of oud. Soon, a comforting sweetness emerges as rich amber and sugary notes entwine with a delicate rose. The journey settles into a deep, earthy base of oakmoss and tonka, softened by a pervasive, clean musk. It's an airy yet substantial scent, balancing its warmth with a surprising lightness.
