Roja Parfums Taif Aoud is a unisex scent that sets a floral, spicy and smoky oud character over a fresh opening, resinous and woody enough to read mostly as an evening fragrance.

What does Taif Aoud (Parfum) smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring follows closely, and few choose summer. Evening and night-out wear lead, while business use gets only a small share. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it leans neither way for sure.

It opens fresh with aldehydes and bergamot. In the heart, ylang-ylang, Grasse jasmine, May rose and clove build a floral, spicy body, with blackcurrant adding a fruity touch. The base settles into oud, benzoin, vanilla, labdanum and frankincense, which give it a resinous, smoky and sweet warmth.
