The Character and History of the Fragrance
Tapputi Habibti is a women's fragrance from the Tapputi brand, released in 2023.
The composition comes in a perfume, or extrait, concentration, so it smells rich and expressive and is intended for those who appreciate a noticeable perfume presence.
The Tapputi house was founded in South Africa in 2022 and invokes the rich heritage of perfumery through its very name.
Habibti continues this idea: its oriental depth meets radiant citrus freshness, while soft floral nuances gradually give way to a warm, enveloping base.
Olfactive Profile and Development
The fragrance belongs to the oriental and fougère families, although its character cannot be described as strictly classical.
Citrus, white floral, balsamic, amber, woody, gourmand and musky accents create a multilayered composition in which freshness, sweetness and resinous warmth balance one another.
At the opening, the composition unfolds with a sparkling combination of bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin and orange.
Damask rose appears alongside the citrus notes, adding subtle floral definition, while a balsamic nuance gives the accord greater depth and cohesion from the very first minutes.
In the heart, the fragrance becomes softer and more sensual.
Jasmine, honeysuckle and ylang-ylang form a rich white-floral bouquet, while vanilla adds creamy sweetness and a cosy gourmand nuance.
Thanks to this transition, Habibti feels like more than a simple citrus fragrance: it is a fully developed oriental composition with a prominent floral heart.
Sillage, Longevity and Wearability
Tapputi Habibti is described as having very strong sillage, making it a good choice for those who enjoy expressive and distinctive perfume compositions.
The extrait is particularly well suited to cool weather, evenings, formal occasions or any situation where you want to emphasize your individuality.
It can also develop beautifully in warm weather, but moderation is essential: its rich concentration and dense base can quickly fill a space.
In an office or small room, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays, while outdoors the composition can reveal the full volume of its sillage.
Specific dosage recommendations for application to skin and clothing are not provided for this release.
A practical approach is to apply a small amount to pulse points and assess its intensity after 15–20 minutes, when the citrus opening gives way to the floral heart and warm base.
The Base and Overall Impression
In the drydown, amber, resins, sandalwood and musk create a warm, smooth and long-lasting scent.
Sandalwood softens the resinous depth, amber reinforces the oriental character, and musk makes the sillage more cohesive and velvety.
Vanilla remains perceptible in the base, linking the floral heart with the rich woody-amber accord.
In terms of mood, Habibti is bright, feminine and confident, with a pronounced touch of oriental luxury.
It will appeal to those looking not for an everyday background scent, but for a fragrance with character that unfolds gradually and leaves a warm, sweetly resinous impression.

For comparison, consider Tom Ford Black Orchid, which shares Habibti's richness and pronounced evening character.
