What does Ta'if (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters recommend spring and fall, though summer has its share too. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and half of the voters call its character feminine.

Saffron, date and pink pepper give a spicy, fruity opening. In the heart, orange blossom absolute, Taif rose, jasmine and freesia build a floral core. The base of Ugandan vanilla absolute, amber and broom sweetens the scent and closes it on a woody warmth.
