Ward Taifi

A fragrant jewel from the heart of Saudi Arabia’s Taif Valley, distilled from the prized Rosa Damascena grown in Al Hada region. Its scent is sparkling, rich, fresh, rosey with bright citrus notes, a gentle touch of honeyed sweetness, and warm, spicy hints of cloves. It feels uplifting and comforting, capturing the essence of Taif’s legendary roses in every drop.

For centuries, the roses of Taif have been carefully cultivated and distilled to create rose oil and rose water, which are used for cleaning and perfuming the Kaabah and Masjid Al Haram.

The cool climate and mineral-rich soil of Taif give its roses a unique character, making the oil highly sought after.

Compared to other famous rose oils like those from Bulgaria and Turkey, Taifi rose oil stands out with its brighter, more citrusy freshness and a subtle spicy warmth. While Bulgarian rose oil tends to be rich and deeply floral, and Turkish rose oil is often sweet and soft, Taifi rose oil offers a vibrant, complex aroma that feel exotic and warmly familiar, reflecting the unique terroir of this place in Arabian Peninsula.

Experience the true aroma of Taif’s legendary roses, distilled to perfection. where every drop of Ward Taifi Oil carries the magic of dawn breaking over the fragrant Al Hada hills.

Auriez-vous une adresse où l'on pourrait acheter une belle rose de Taïf ? Il y avait un vendeur sur le forum, mais il n'est plus actif.

Do you have an address where one could buy a beautiful Taif rose? There was a seller on the forum, but he is no longer active.

My sample of Hada taifi (from Wardlab, 2022 batch i think) also does not congeal at the temperature that other rose oils do. I've never heard a really satisfactory explanation for why, but I have read that it's possible to separate the odorless stearoptene that is responsible for the solidification, so perhaps that accounts for some of the additional cost of this region's oil if that is a standard practice. I have never read in any monograph about a distillation technique that results in greater fluidity and less wax. The only related thing I've read is that the very first fraction green oils can actually be solid even at warmer temps, and typically distillers like those in Bulgaria mix this first fraction oil in with the oil that comes later which is more fluid. i'm not sure about that "solid green oil" business, I think it was in Poucher or Askinson where i would have read that.

old post I know, but I just wanted to say that Taif rose in general (or at least the dozen or so oils I’ve tried) congeals/freezes at very low temperatures, lower than most rose oils.

I thought so too.

But,

I just received the new HP Taif Rose from Al Shareef and in my fragrance cabinet, Peltier cooler , kept at a solid 18c the oil formed crystals.
It is a wonderful smelling product. More deep and floral unlike another wonderful Taif I have that is more lemony at first and a tad bit greener, that oil congeal at ~8c. The color of the HP is nearly clear.

Maybe Al Shareef can explain this,,, I think it is a complete distilled oil from petals giving way to a higher temperature sensitivity and clearer color. As opposed to maybe more mechanical for the lower temperature congealed one.

Whatever it backstory it is truly delightful.

It might be from the higher elevation, or distillation. Only Al Shareef can explain it in the end as you said.
