TARAF BLACK Edp

Taraf Black by Zimaya: Rose, Oud and Gourmand Warmth in an Eau de Parfum

Taraf Black is a sweet, spicy oriental woody scent with an amber-driven character. It is positioned for men, yet its soft floral heart and comforting base appeal to many women too, so it can be a shared bottle. Its profile sits close to Montale’s Arabians Tonka, which makes it a sensible option for admirers of that style who prefer a lower price.

Zimaya Taraf Black Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Bergamot, Saffron, Agarwood.
• Middle Notes: Rose, Sugar, Amber.
• Base Notes: Tonka Bean, White Musk, Oakmoss.

How the Scent Develops

The first impression is citrus and spice. Bergamot brings a bright, zesty lift, saffron adds a warm, peppery edge, and agarwood, the oud at the centre of the blend, gives a woody depth that holds the opening together.

As it settles, rose moves to the front. A little sugar softens its floral edge, while amber gives the heart a resinous warmth that carries the sweetness forward.

The drydown is where the sweetness becomes most obvious. Tonka bean offers a vanilla-like, almond tone, white musk adds a clean and soft finish, and oakmoss keeps the whole composition grounded with an earthy note.

Where and When to Wear It

This is a fragrance for evenings and special occasions, when its warmth and sweetness can open up fully. The balance of its notes also allows it to be worn during the day, particularly when the weather turns cooler.

Who Should Try It

• Arabians Tonka admirers: If you like the Montale style but want a more accessible bottle, Taraf Black is a practical alternative.
• Rose and oud lovers: The pairing of rose with agarwood runs through the whole wear, so the blend suits anyone who enjoys that combination.
• Fans of sweet, warm scents: Gourmand sweetness, spice and oud work together to create a distinctive character.
• Shoppers who want a unisex option: Although it is designed for men, its sweet, floral side is easy for women to wear as well.
