One word for this....Stunning! Opens up with the sweeter musky resinous vibes and that characteristically sweet Ta'if (I also purchased the Ta'if absolute on it's own from Scent Salim) The oud in here is very much in the background and there's nothing animalic or challenging about it, just a backdrop for the rest of the elements. The drydown is incredibly crystal clear, super clean and tidy, it's really lovely. Now smelling it in store and out of the bottle I was more conscious of saffron (perhaps because I was told it was in there?) but on my skin it really doesn't have the characteristic sting of leathery, earth or plastic heat. Instead it's more rosey than anything but it's not loud or one dimensional and changes throughout. Love the stuff.
