What does Taif Imperial smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer and winter close behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and is also worn for leisure. Votes split almost evenly between masculine and feminine.

The top is led by bergamot, saffron and cardamom, with blackberry adding a fruity edge. In the heart, caramel, Taif rose and honeysuckle bring a floral sweetness. The base settles into sandalwood, benzoin, oud and amber, leaving a woody, oriental character. Fresh and green touches keep the sweetness in check. Rasasi Al Wisam Day and Bois 1920 Sandalvia have a close profile.
