June blessings as we head into the summer season,
Among the many rose farms, regions, methods of hydrodistillation, and crop quality, it is an honor to offer a very limited supply from one of the oldest house names to ever do it - the Al Gadhi family. A chance to experience what a respected 'house producer' has to offer versus a 'grower producer.' The Gadhi family have private fields (which I can only imagine are serenely lush) in Hada for their distillations (the factory itself is located in Ta'if's Old Bazaar).
"For almost a century, the Gadhi family has operated this business in Taif, refining an ancient but notoriously complicated procedure, mainly gathering the pure oil that many consider the best in Taif. King Khalid bin Abdulaziz, the monarch of Saudi Arabia in the 1970s and 1980s, was rumored to purchase all of the season's oil."
Now featuring around 100 traditional copper alembic pots covered by a corrugated iron roof, the science and alchemy of distillation can be witnessed throughout the generations. Similar to WM's opening (I wonder if commonplace with this season's harvest), yet less quiet and more outspoken, there is a dewy sweetness with an unabashed citrus sparkle, that carries into a deep, tenacious sparkling Ta'ifi profile that dries down with complexity - prominently spicy, with slight nuances of honey & green. The major highlight is longevity - for a pure otto, this is one that carries for a while on skin (relatively speaking for ottos in general 😆).
1ml (in sample vial) - $110 shipped via USPS Priority to CONUS customers. Add shipping for international.
2.5ml (in quarter tola w/glass applicator) - $200 shipped via USPS Priority to CONUS customers. Add shipping for international.
If you are an international customer, please check your local laws & regulations to make sure your oil may arrive safely.
I accept PayPal at this time, please send me a DM to order.
Thank you all & fragrant regards 🌸🌹🌺
