Notes
Enigma of Taif is a 2025 unisex extrait de parfum from Swiss Arabian, composed by Shinichiro Oba. A rose-centered composition built around legendary Taif rose, opened with cardamom, black and pink pepper, elemi and plum, and grounded in oakwood, molasses, vetiver, amber and labdanum.
Scent story
Enigma of Taif smells like the rose gardens of the Taif mountains at dusk — rare, high-altitude, a little mysterious. The opening crackles with spice: cardamom, black and pink pepper, resinous elemi softened by dark plum. Then the Taif rose arrives, majestic and honeyed, wrapped in saffron, violet and smoky olibanum. The dry-down is midnight — oakwood, molasses and vetiver melting into amber and labdanum. The most niche-feeling scent in the house's lineup. Beginners note: a dark, spicy rose for rose lovers ready to go deeper — not a fresh, easy rose.
