Ta´if is an intoxicating and audacious rose scent from the town of Ta´if which sits above the shores of the Red sea and overlooks the Arabian desert. This perfume dislikes daylight preferring dusk, the night, parties, promises and assignations. It is an opulent composition which makes a bold entrance and is confident enough to sweep everyone else to one side – a real belle of the ball.

Year: 1985

Leather and gin and glistening skin, crimson nights and black box peepholes, a bath of glowing amber, a key on a chain, a glimpse in the saffron haze, silhouette reflections in infinite mirrors, eyes that can’t look away.

  • leather

Perfumer: PAUL GUERLAIN

Seduction is a skill; attraction, an instinct. The decor is in place: a wooden table, leather stools, a few irises to decorate and, temptingly, plump cherries. Alternating between gallant delicacy and implicit animality. Elegance obliges, serve the other first, a nod to the ceremonial tradition of sake and kirsch. A toast to good fortune, renewal and the infinite possibilities of late evening. Getting to know each other and devouring each other at the same time. Enjoy the present with passion and gratitude. Invite or acquiesce. All that remains is to choose between ephemeral or eternal adventure.

A luscious, liqueur-like cherry melts into the powdery, iridescent meanders of sake. Saffron unfurls its leathery facets, extending into a firm, comfortable suede accord. Wood and moss add a woody patina.

A shot of fruity mezcal collides with precious cacao absolute for a fragrance that’s fiery and intoxicating. Mezcal Chocolate is shaped by Mathis Molinié, digital tastemaker and head chef at Restaurant Philippe in Rouen. It opens with sparkling lime oil and chili pepper, deepened by olibanum from Somalia and an ultra-rare Rhum extract. The cacao’s creaminess melts into a bed of woods: Virginia cedarwood and cypriol oil from India, adding a dark, earthy glow.

 Perfumer: Miroslav Petkov

A bestial intense animalic amber serving the visceral image of a wild stallion. Patchouli and labdanum harmonise to a rich decadent leather while hits of oriental osmanthus add to the floral sweetness which in turn is balanced by spicy cypriol and vetiver. Stunning and magnificent.

The colors of the day are melting. In the shadows, feelings take surprising shapes. The night is calling. Softness is in the air. Silent connections form. The alchemy is real. Two shadows. One.

Sombra is a dirty shadow of tough rose and oud, spiced with saffron and nutmeg. Tolu balsam bathes the composition in a twilight effect of almost-sweet tobacco and leather, for an animalic result that purrs.

In fleeting top notes Myrtle, fragile as the promises of love, encounters the preciousness of saffron, merging into an indomitable desire for eros.

The luxuriant notes of honey are exalted by the jasmine night breeze that pervades the home of the chaste lovers, among the frescoes, on a thalamus of rose petals.

The mysterious notes of incense and sweet vanilla blend with the oriental contamination of amber and labdanum that fades into the ancient aroma of agar wood, sealing the essence of Castiamanti, expression of rich Pompeii.

X OUD presents itself with a whole set of olfactory opposites.
From spicy Indian oud to the sweetness of black currants, white rum and with a glow from patchouli, smoked leather and saffron these ingredients blends against musk, pineapple, apple and jasmine.

With X OUD, we wanted to maintain the original Indian Oud throughout the whole experience so we used a technique that gives the scent of the original Indian Oud a crystal clear role from start to finish.
