Excellent review Troy, you are one of the few in whom I trust. Before to put my nose to this fragrance, I thought it would go the way of Enigma Aoud Parfum but with an emphasis on rose, however I was very surprised, it is very different, as you explain it is an opulent and very dark rose, although rose is the soul but not the main protagonist. It is a fragrance that stands out with their incense, resins and oud, quite penetrating and dark, I realized that it takes the direction of the Gulf collection. When the fragrance dries up, due to the mixture of dark elements, I get a feeling of fuel or petroleum enveloping a black rose, it is very different and not easy to like. Very special! Well done Troy! 🎉
I got two free samples and am giving them to my wife. Super high quality and nice for women, but nothing like the pure majesty of Xerjoff XJ Oud Attar Warda Al Oud, which might be more masculine leaning anyway. My favourite feminine leaning Roja with rose is Turandot - amazing!
@@TroyD247Mall It's beautiful stuff for Iris fans, so unique too, like cranberry icicles that melt away into clouds of floral, coffee and almond vanilla bliss. Slightly feminine leading but less so than Xerjoff Begum, Accento Overdose, Apollonia, or FM Lys Mediteranee (my other 3 borderline feminine scents), it has quickly become one of my favourite scents in my collection of 65 niche perfumes. Kind of exotic like something Bjork or David Bowie might have worn on stage, but less opulent and more wearable than Pikovaya Dana. I also prefer it to RDHP15. Would be excited to hear your thoughts.
Always can trust Troy + the descriptions are always on-point
Thank you sir!
Hi, Taif does not mean rose. It is a town in Saudi Arabia. It is famous for a special kind of rose that we call Taif rose
You’re right :)
Sounds so good....great description as always 🤟🌿
Thank you sir!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I watch you from the beginning always nice to see you do your thing
A day one homie! Thank you so much I strive to do better with every single review! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
How does it compare to Portrait of a Lady?

Thank you for your feedback! The thing I was happy about was that it wasn’t like the other rose ouds out there! :)
Sup Troy! Wishing you well.
Thanks! You too!

I’ll need to find a sample first! 🧐
