Very life-like but too soft for my liking, wearing Al Taifi is like having rose petals caress your skin leaving a faint trace of their scent behind. Emphasis on the word faint. Delicate, green and rosy, it's a youthful scent miles away from the so called "grandma" types of rose perfumes. Youthful but not juvenile, it has the same lighthearted charm as A La Rose but without the powdery floral aspect of the Kurkdjian.
Both Al Taifi and Ambergris Taifi have the costly Taif rose as an ingredient, the version of Al Taifi I wore is an EDP whereas Ambergris Taifi is a perfume oil. Where Al Taifi remains linear and true to the scent of a rose throughout its average lifetime, Ambergris Taifi has its rose petals mixed with a creamy amber and an animalic edge from the ambergris. The latter also lasts pretty much forever from just a small smidge of the perfume oil.
