Taif Aoud

First, the website...excellent service, with a very quick reply to the question I'd asked. In addition, the ability to use my loyalty points on an item that was on sale is VERY unusual, refreshing, and so welcome!

This was delivered quickly, arrived in perfect condition, as always, and came with a free 10ml travel spray, which is always a fantastic bonus.

I opted for Taif Aoud as I've read it's being discontinued, and I'm so glad I did. It is the most beautiful fresh/green rose - completely unisex - backed up with the most amazing mix of florals and spices, but remaining light enough that it'll absolutely work for high heat. The base of oud, patchoul, labdanum, and vanilla provide a long-lasting, rich platform for this perfume to sing from.

Taif Aoud is a stunning tribute to the legendary Arabian rose, blending freshness, elegance, and depth in a truly luxurious way. It opens with a sparkling, airy brightness before revealing a rich heart of Taif rose—luminous, refined, and beautifully natural rather than heavy or syrupy. As it settles, soft oud, incense, and warm resins create a smooth, sensual base that feels opulent yet perfectly balanced. Sophisticated, radiant, and unmistakably high-end, this is a rose-oud composition that feels both majestic and effortlessly wearable.
