Rose De Taif

At first I didn’t like the citrus note at all and the geranium was very sharp, but then it turned into a spicy sweet rose which is really pleasant and beautiful, blended with the greenness of geranium and what I definitely perceive as geranium velvety leaves they have this distinguishable green smell which I remember from my childhood, all in all it’s a realistic taif rose garden smell, but it’s not for the faint of heart, I understand the association with mosquitoes repellent and cleaning products but I find it beautiful, would have been nicer if they dialed the citrus down a notch so it’s a like not a love yet

Rose de Taif is a pure rose fragrance. At first spray you get a full blast of pure rose. Then as it dries down you get the geranium and some spiciness. The rose shines throughout the day in this fragrance. I was walking up a flight of stairs this morning and the lady behind me said "I wish the stairs were longer, so I could smell you more." She loved it and when I told her it was "unisex" she asked for the name. Rose de Taif is beautifully put together and lasts and lasts.

A very bright realistic rose. I accidentally spilled some of my sample on me and this stuff is very strong for the first few hours. On my skin it lasted about 5 hours, but I could still faintly smell it on my clothes. I smell a lot of the musk late into wearing it, but mixed with the other notes, it smelled a little bitter. Overall, this is a very nice true rose perfume. I’m very glad to have sampled it!

My sensations: Spring morning walk in a sumptuous fragrant lemon house, with slight submerged aromatic accords, surrounded by a luxuriant rose garden moist with dew, which attracts magnetic to itself ... the hints of the Taif rose are decisive but immediately evanescent, immediately giving space with Damascus rose and reassuring and warm musky notes. Feminine sillage of pink, very long lasting.

Vivid rose geranium accord in the top, slightly green and rich in cintronellol, think citrusy citronella vibes some people call it more of slightly 'wilted rose' , but not in particularly sharp or unpleasant way. Not much spice, but the rose cleans up quickly and musk accord comes to the forefront reminding me a bit of Rose Opulent by MPeG.
