Taj by Yas Perfumes

I went to Warsaw where I had a couple of perfumeries on my to-visit list, but the most pleasant surprise was that of Sense Dubai, right next door to one of the other perfumeries. I went in and was met by an amazing woman, who knew her fragrances and made the experience that more exciting.

I was in heaven. I tried a dark musk attar on my hand, rich and sensual, which she dripped white musk on after, revealing the most mesmerising floral scent I have ever smelled! If florals could be as creamy and sensual as dark and white musk together, I would love to have them in my collection.

I went out after an hour smelling and feeling like a million.

One fragrance in particular had me in absolute awe.

Spicy, rich, warm, oriental, Taj doesn't open faintly, but already with a statement. After a minute, it becomes sweeter with fruity notes. 

Masterfully crafted, because I usually cannot wear Oud and I don't like rose. Taj, despite not having any fruit in the composition, is an elegantly fruity scent that is sweet with tonka without being too sweet.

I am staring at the cursor trying to figure out how to describe Taj, it is indescribable in fact. Elegant like Baccarat, rich and powerful like Oud for Greatness, sensually sweet as only a scent from Dubai can be.

I need to have this. Period. The dry down also reveals a smokey sandalwood and I feel like a Goddamn million when wearing this. Honestly, BR540 and OFG are meek in comparison.

Taj, still not having any fruit notes, smells like an elevated cherry fragrance. Deliciously tart and sweet. Over time, it keeps evolving. Changing, but remaining the same.

It's oriental composition makes it perfect for warm and humid weather, but the same quality makes it perfect for winter too. 

This is a signature fragrance and it has my name all over it.
