Roja Parfums - Taif Aoud
The illusive Taif Rose hails from a mountainous region in Saudi Arabia, 2000 metres above sea level, and only flowers in the month of April. It must be picked before the sun touches its petals in order to preserve this flower's precious oil. It takes around 40,000 blooms to produce just 10 grams of oil, worth nearly 1,000 GBP. ROJA PARFUMS are celebrating this precious ingredient with a fragrance that joins their iconic Aoud Collection: Introducing TAIF AOUD.
The summer capital of Saudi Arabia, the mountainous region of Taif provides a cool escape from the heat. For as far as the eye can see, fields of precious Taif Roses grow along its slopes. This legendary Arabian Rose is further freshened by sparkling Aldehydes, Bergamot, and juicy Cassis, whilst the intoxicating scent of burning Frankincense and Oud Bakhoors mingle in the air. To wear Taif Aoud perfume is to feel the warmth of the sun and a cool mountain breeze caressing your skin.
“This scent captures the legendary beauty of roses from two realms. The rarest of all roses, Rose de Mai from the town of Grasse, which nestles on the slopes of the Alpes-Maritimes, weaves around Taif Rose from the mountains of Saudi Arabia. The allure of these celebrated roses is enhanced by sparkling Aldehydes, the whole held captive in a warm embrace of precious Aoud Wood.”
