What does Taraf (black) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated good, and it scores high for value, though the small number of votes means these impressions are still tentative.
It opens with saffron, bergamot and oud. In the heart, sugar, rose and amber sweeten it, and the base of tonka bean, oakmoss and white musk leaves a woody, soft footing. Pendora Scents Noir d'Arabie and French Avenue Cosmic Tonka have a close profile.
