Did anyone try the Abdul Samad Al-Qurashi Taif rose oils? They have like 500, 1500, 3000, First Bridal depending on intensity. Your opinions and answers are highly valued by me, thanks everyone!

I heard a story of a guy I know and trust who sent his away for analysis and it wasn’t Taif rose at all

Wow, that is unbelievable, so their offering of Taif rose is not Taif rose at all!? Shocking.

My thoughts also, he later asked me for a contact so I pointed him in the direction of al shareef oud and he is happy with the Taif from him MashaAllah

The analysis I hear revealed it was diluted with white musks and synthetics with a small amount of Taif rose

So is this one a blend? It does say Taif al-Nakab al-Arous, and it does not say Taif rose 3000 which they say are Taif rose essential oils only.

I have tried ASAQ pure taif rose oil highest grade. I liked it a lot. But I am no expert on
Taif oil. Al shareef pure taif oil is on a different level altogether and my first choice.
But can batch variations occur in distillation
generally speaking?

I am also looking at House of Misk Taif rose oil, they told me that their Taif rose distiller distills their taif rose oil in a single distillation and this is the oil they sell. This is unlike the distillation by other houses where they have different grades of distillation and the first of which is considered the highest grade or "bridal" oil. So the House of Misk oil is also then considered a bridal Taif rose oil with a generous price of $210 USD/2.5 gram. I am looking forward to getting one bottle.

I have no idea how different rose oil will be
from single distillation from multiple distillation
of three different grades. Do let us know (how it is) once you get the house of misk taif rose oil

Usually multiple distillation consists of distilling roses to get the most oil from the petals I suppose, and the first distillation amongst the multiple distillations is considered the best or "bridal" Taif rose, this is the oil Al-Shareef Oud sells. The distillation after the first ones are not as potent as the first distillation and is regarded as a lower grade.

That is simplifying it a lot :) it isn't as simple as just grabbing the first distillation. To mention a few, the methodology of distillation, the actual petals and where in taif they are grown all factors in considerably. Our Taifi rose oil is the best rose oil that comes out of taif and it isnt just because we take the first distillation :D
