On paper, this is gorgeous. On my skin it turns into a men's cologne, and I'm not talking about the nice kind. Still, I realize it has to do with my own chemistry and not the composition in itself,...

The first time I sampled Ta'if, it did not go well. Saffron has a funny way of mixing with my chemistry at times. However, while in the shop in London, I tried Ta'if again and fell in love with...

This one actually elicited a 'you smell nice' from my stubbornly anosmic DH. (Just to set the scene, he refers to the Guerlain Vetiver I bought him as 'that awful cologne'. Just as well I got it...

I love this. It smells of sugared rose petals, saffron and dates, and it does this while managing the miraculous feat of not being remotely sweet, in either sense. It doesn't smell like a pudding,...

Sweet roses and very pleasant overall. Not as sweet as Lipstick rose or even Drole de rose (I am not counting that as a con , too much sweetness is not for me) and it has a less candied and rather...

Ta'if was my first Ormonde Jayne purchase, and it definitely won't be my last! I find this fragrance markedly similar to KM's Gourmandises - so similar, in fact, that I initially thought that I'd...

Desert roses surrounded by dry dates and spicy saffron. It is sensual yet subtle, captivating and refined. The drydown is powdery-vanilla, and surprisingly reminiscent of Tocade! It can be an...

Oh how I wanted Ta'if to turn into my femme fatale fragrance. I had such high expectations for this one that it's a bit unfair. Linda at Ormonde Jayne is a genius at creating modern classics...

For the initial half a second after application, Ta'if is a very lovely rose scent -- full and lush, with a distinct fruity melon, candy sweet kick. But then the saffron takes over, creating and...

With the right body chemistry this fragrance is a wonderous sultry, spicy rose-based fragrance tempered by the addition of saffron, date and broom. Unfortunately this did not work for me as the...

Ta'if is a lovely candy-rose scent in the tradition of the sprightly, spunky Rosines. A bright, delicate tea rose note is offset by a touch of sweetness. Though sublime in the first five minutes,...

This is a very pretty rose fragrance and has a sparkling quality described below. The orange blossom and broom are predominant along with the rose. I like it very much as it is not an...

Ta’if is a femme fatale’s scent. But think Kirsten Scott-Thomas, Charlotte Rampling, maybe Cate Blanchett —sophisticated, mysterious, enigmatic. While I prefer lighter, more sparkling rose scents...
