Notte a Taif

A sumptuous bouquet: a spring orange flower rain in the opening where little by little also an opulent jasmine together with a sweet, opened, creamy tuberose exhale their beautiful scent, and a glimpse of rose (the precious Taif one?!?) intervene with its lovely aroma to this rich spring feast. Not too evident the vanilla on my skin. A true joy for the senses! Magnificent sillage that adds you a fascinating halo. Persistence keeps you company for a long while: both on your skin and on your clothes....(even after the laundry!) Gorgeous in spring but I think it is special even in the summer nights!

Gosh, what a delicious sultry sensual rose softened white floral. The rose is most definitely present and it beautifully softens and sweetens the usually tricky diva white florals. Im not sure why I didnt detect much bergamot, Im usually wary of strong white florals but this wouldnt offend anyones nose. The vanilla and amber make the perfect warm sweetish base. Moderate sillage and long longevity. It might be a bit pricey but my doesnt it perform. Definitely a fragrance for seduction.

I love this one! An opulent and velvety floral; the tuberose is main note, a rich, strong and honeyed tuberose, sweet, intense...I love it!!! Strangely I like to wear this in summer, because it remembers to me the smell of the flowers kissed by the sun :)

If you inhaled a heady pink rose & tuberose bouquet with mint leaves as foliage, this would be it. It's a bright rose, like FM's Une Rose. One hour later, this smells like Fracas. I think this is more tenacious, better quality ingredients than Fracas. Fracas edp always falls flat on me after a couple of hours (have to layer it with the body lotion in order to hold it up). Notte a Taif though, retains structure because of the good quality rose. Of course, the cool bergamot has faded by this point, but this is what I wish Fracas would smell like in its drydown. Would I wear this? I'm conflicted. The herbasceous tuberose and rose combo at the beginning is too loud and quirky for me. But I prefer the drydown to any Fracas and its half dozen imitations. hmmmm Edit: my goodness this fragrance is tenacious. I can still smell that soapy tuberose combo 12 hrs and a shower later.

I dont understand why do not appear the 3 poit vote I gave to the Orange flowers.. Anyway as almost all scents of Tonatto this is another the mother of my grandmother's cologne. It is smell absolutely like an orange flower bon bons, pads. 800s. Orangeflowers sugar and vanilline milk. If you survive the phase alimentar orange blossoms you will find a gummy tuberose. That's it. Sad, terrible. Rose is missing.
