Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Ta'if scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Ta'if.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ta'if's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 90% less than Ta'if.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Ormonde Jayne Ta'if is pink pepper, dates and saffron at first, taif rose, freesia and jasmine at its heart and amber and broom at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • dates
  • saffron

Heart

  • taif rose
  • freesia
  • jasmine

Base

  • amber
  • broom
For the one who wants a radiant, spicy rose lifted by pink pepper, saffron and dates over a soft golden amber.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
