Enigma of Taif
Extrait de Parfum | Inspired by Radical Rose Extrait (Matière Premiere)
The Radical Evolution of Rose
Swiss Arabian’s Enigma of Taif is a bold, high-concentration tribute to the most "overdosed" rose in modern perfumery. Taking direct inspiration from the raw, earthy intensity of Radical Rose Extrait, this fragrance strips away the delicate sweetness of traditional florals to reveal a rose with thorns.
Crafted as an Extrait de Parfum, this scent is designed for those who demand presence. It captures the dark, spicy, and woody facets of the Taif Rose, amplified by a masterful blend of saffron and deep patchouli.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to Radical Rose Extrait?
Enigma of Taif utilizes the same "overdose" philosophy, emphasizing a high concentration of Rose Centifolia-style notes blended with spicy peppers and earthy patchouli. It offers a near-identical olfactory profile at a fraction of the niche price point.
Is this a "Grandma" style rose perfume?
Not at all. This is a "Radical" rose. It is dark, peppery, and earthy. It is designed to be edgy and sophisticated, making it popular with both men and women who usually find traditional rose scents too feminine.
What is the concentration?
This is an Extrait de Parfum. This means it contains a higher percentage of perfume oils than an Eau de Parfum, resulting in superior longevity and a richer scent profile.
How many sprays should I use?
Because of the potency, we recommend starting with 2 sprays on pulse points (neck or wrists). Its projection is significant, so less is often more.
