Ta'if by Ormonde Jayne is a rich and captivating Oriental Floral fragrance for both women and men, launched in 2004. Created by the acclaimed perfumer Geza Schoen, this scent is a tribute to the opulence and mystique of the Arabian world, capturing the essence of a luxurious rose garden in full bloom, set against a warm, sensual backdrop.
The fragrance opens with an exotic blend of pink pepper, dates, and saffron. This vibrant combination offers a spicy, slightly sweet introduction, evoking the warmth and richness of the Middle Eastern landscape, while the saffron adds a delicate, aromatic depth that entices from the very first note.
In the heart, the iconic Taif rose takes center stage, surrounded by a sophisticated bouquet of freesia, jasmine, and orange blossom. The Taif rose, revered for its deep, velvety richness, blends seamlessly with the other florals, creating a luxurious and heady floral profile that is both captivating and timeless. The delicate sweetness of freesia and the creamy, honeyed notes of orange blossom add further layers of elegance and femininity.
The base is composed of amber and broom, which provide a warm, resinous finish to the fragrance. The amber adds depth and richness, while the broom brings a subtle, honeyed sweetness that lingers on the skin, creating a sensual and long-lasting trail.
