Ta'if Elixir

Ta'if Elixir by Ormonde Jayne is a deeply concentrated, nocturnal reinterpretation of the original Ta'if. It opens with a crisp mix of saffron, pink pepper, and dates, lending a warm, gourmand elegance. The heart unfolds with rose and jasmine, but the floral aspect is subdued, wrapped in a rich, creamy layer of oud that adds a dark, animalic depth. Over time, the perfume evolves into a sophisticated, velvety blend with amber and broom, finishing on a slightly smoky, woody dry down. The fragrance is highly concentrated and long-lasting, with a reductive, intense sillage that lingers throughout the night. It carries a distinct air of power and presence, demanding attention without being aggressive. While some notice the rose as underdeveloped and the oud as more subtle than expected, the overall impression is of a luxurious, complex composition that becomes more compelling as it dries. It leans slightly toward the feminine spectrum but is unisex by design, with strong affinity for evening wear and autumn/winter seasons.
