Toooo sweet. It smells like a rose-flavored after dinner mint, if such a thing existed.
I’m sure it is lovely on the right person, but from start to finish, the only scent I got was sweet- incredibly sweet- candied, minted rose.
I -wish- I got a whiff of peach, or smokiness, or anything other than three notes: sugar, mint, and light rose. Very uncomplex, whipped together into some sort of uber-femme soufflé meringue. Where’s the mutton? The bones? Where’s the beef?
It was too paperback novel romance for me. But, I happen to love those sometimes. Maybe a more appropriate simile is the chick flick musical score of “Dangerous Beauty.” Too sweet and swoony, like Victorian women fainting. I couldn’t take this… too innocent, girly- candy- mint- rose!!! I don’t want to smell like a bon-bon…

A very sultry and womanly fragrance. I love most all of the OJ line my favorite is Ormonde Woman. Woman I loved instantly but Ta’if needed a little more time before I fell for it. As with most of the line it needs about 15 minutes to really settle down into it’s true beauty. When I first applied it I got a really strong blast of pepper. I got a bit sneezy and thought I didn’t like it, but then I decided to ride it out and see how it developed. Well I’m very glad I did because the pepper mellows considerably and then you get the rose and saffron which is quite beautiful. After about 30 minutes I started to smell the dates and the amber notes which really rounds everything out and it begins to warm an pulsate on the skin. So if you need to spray it and then dash out the door this might not be the one for that ( I seriously started to laugh when Linda Pilkington said on her website that she sprayed 7 or 8 squirts of this on herself WOW! Thats intense! I think 2 is quite sufficient) Even though there are fruit and amber notes its not overtly sweet or cloying. I was surprised to see it was recommended for the cooler months as I think warmer weather will bring out the warmer notes. I will be wanting a bottle of this for summer evenings.

The opening notes of Ta’if give a strong impression of white peaches and white roses, each just on the verge of ripeness and full bloom. A striking similarity to Robert Piguet Visa, with its peach powder, begins and ends there.
Count me as another reviewer who was surprised by Ta’if. It is not as I thought; I expected a spicy, dark red rose and not the almost-rose fragrance Ta’if is.
Although the rose is evident at the top, it is fully matched by the peach and then it ducks under the tent of a souk and stays there amidst the sweetness of dates and the dusky, mysterious saffron spice. The fragrance turns golden in the heart, as it moves away from its pastel-powdery opening.
I had not expected the sweetness of Ta’if. This is the first, but not the biggest surprise. Ta’if is sweet, but not in a fruity way. It is exactly the sweetness of dates, but this note is not given a gourmand treatment. Peach and dates easily eclipse the rose, although the rose is there in the background, somewhere, just beyond true recognition, colored as depth rather than distinction.
The second surprise is the golden, honeyed aura of broom that appears in the base. Dior’s Dune ruined a broom note for me, or so I thought until I smelled Ta’if. Blended with a sweet streak of amber, the base is luxurious but not rich. That is the magnificence of this fragrance that easily could have tipped into the syrupy. A hint of pencil shaving or lead also appears in the base and further removes Ta’if from unctuousness.
Ta’if has obviously been crafted with a gentle hand, as each layer swishes to the next, melting into it as if these disparate things–roses, dates, saffron, broom, amber–are all naturally related. It is a brilliant and unexpected fragrance and something that could easily become a signature.
