Alhada is a mesmerizing fragrance that transports you to the breathtaking mountains of Saudi Arabia, where the pathway to the city of Ta'if is lined with rich fields of the famed Ta'if roses. Named after this stunning region, Alhada captures the serenity, beauty, and nostalgia that envelop every traveler who journeys through the pink-tinged mountains at dawn. The fragrance tells the story of a maiden wandering through the fields of exquisite blooms, experiencing the land's intoxicating allure as if walking through a sea of fragrant petals.
The fragrance opens with a lively and spicy burst of bergamot, clove leaf oil, pimento leaf oil, and tagetes oil. These top notes evoke the feeling of fresh mountain air mixed with the subtle spice of clove and pimento, offering a warm yet invigorating introduction. The addition of bergamot brings a citrusy brightness that complements the earthy, floral tones of tagetes, creating a refreshing and dynamic opening that sets the stage for the journey ahead.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a luxurious floral and aromatic bouquet that transports you to the heart of the Ta'if rose fields. The Egyptian geranium oil adds a green, slightly minty freshness, while lavandin grosso oil introduces an aromatic lavender note that balances the florals. The rich, exotic notes of oud accord blend seamlessly with the delicate sweetness of jasmine, hyacinth, and the star of the fragrance, rose Ta'if, enveloping you in the unmistakable beauty of the region. The presence of saffron adds a subtle spiciness, enhancing the richness of the florals and providing depth to the heart of the composition.
In the base, Alhada settles into a warm, earthy foundation that grounds the fragrance in a sense of calm and tranquility. Cedarwood oil, guaiac wood, and sandalwood bring a creamy, woody depth that is both comforting and enduring. Patchouli oil and oak moss add an earthy richness, while tonka bean and vanilla provide a soft, sweet warmth that lingers on the skin. The scent of oud accord and white musks completes the fragrance with an elegant, sensual finish, leaving a trail that is as captivating as it is serene.
