What does Ta'if Elixir smell like?
It opens with saffron, date and pink pepper, spicy and slightly sweet. The heart builds a floral body from orange blossom absolute, Taif rose, jasmine and freesia. In the base, Cambodian oud, amber and broom pull the scent toward woody, earthy and animalic tones.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters pick it mostly for nights out and evenings, with some votes for leisure and business wear. Its profile suits both men and women. Ormonde Jayne Ta'if and Caron Secret Oud have a close profile.
