Counted in roses, weighed by the tola.
Taifi rose oil is the otto of the damask rose grown around Taif: picked by hand at dawn, distilled within 24 hours, then traded in the unit attars have always used. TaifiRoseOil.com is the exact-match .com for the material itself — three words, twelve characters, no hyphens.
01The material
Taifi rose oil is a material before it is a brand, and a material can be written down. It has one botanical source, one method, one clock and one trade unit, and all four are on the public record.
The flower is a damask rose, Rosa × damascena, known locally as Ward Taifi. It grows on farms spread across Al-Hada, Al-Shafa, Wadi Muharram, Al-Wahat, Al-Wahit and Wadi Liya. The flowers are picked manually at dawn, and what is picked is distilled within 24 hours. Arab News
In the still, petals and water are heated in copper. The distillate separates into two products: rose water, the hydrosol, and the oil — the otto — which floats on top of it and is drawn off. Wikipedia: Rose oil
UNESCO’s account of the same harvest adds the people: farmers, families and friends pick the roses in the early morning, then sell them at the local market or distil them at home. The rose water and the essential oil go on into beauty products, food and drink. UNESCO
The oil is then handled the way attars have long been handled: by the tola, a traditional trade unit of about 11.66 grams. Species, place, method, timing, unit — that is the whole specification a buyer works from. This page quotes no price for the oil, and none for the domain. Wikipedia: Tola

Arab News, 9 Jan 2026This page does not divide one of these figures by another. The same report gives both the roses a year and the tolas a year, and they do not reconcile against 12,000 roses to the tola — so each figure is reported as published, and no total is calculated from them.
The roses are picked manually at dawn, and what is picked goes to the still within a single day. It is the tightest constraint in the whole material: the window cannot be stretched, only met. Arab News, 9 Jan 2026
The whole crop is harvested during a season of no more than 45 days, from early March to the end of April. Arab News, 9 Jan 2026 UNESCO puts the same season at thirty-five to forty-five days. UNESCO, inscribed 2024

UNESCO: Cultural practices related to Taif roses03Why this name
Most names in this category describe a place, a mood or a house. This one names the substance that actually changes hands.
Taifi rose oil is the oil of the Taifi rose. The domain is that phrase with nothing added and nothing taken away: three plain words, 12 characters, one .com.
Taif names a city. Taifi names the rose. Carrying the flower’s own adjective into the product name is how the material is described by the people who grow, distil and trade it, and it leaves room for a page per subject, for example taifiroseoil.com/tola.
No hyphens, no numbers, no alternative spelling to explain. It survives a phone call, a packing list and an invoice without being spelled out letter by letter.
Species, growing areas, picking hour, a 24-hour window to the still, a 45-day season and a trade unit — all published, all linked on this page. A buyer inherits a documented material rather than a blank word.
TaifRoseOil.com, TaifiRose.com and WardTaifi.com are also available from the same owner. Acquire one or several, and keep the flower, the Arabic name and the material under one roof.

07Questions
Taifi is the adjective of Taif, the city in Saudi Arabia whose farms grow this damask rose; in English the flower is called the Taifi rose, and its steam-distilled oil is Taifi rose oil. TaifiRoseOil.com is those three words as one .com: 12 characters, no hyphens, no numbers. It is a common English rendering of the material, not an official, certified or protected designation.
The tola is the traditional trade unit for attars, about 11.66 grams. Arab News reports that producing a single tola takes approximately 12,000 roses, picked manually at dawn and distilled within 24 hours, and that the harvest yields around 20,000 tolas a year.
Two prices are deliberately absent. There is no price for the oil: published figures vary widely by season and source, and this page is not a price list. There is no fixed price for the domain either — it is offer-based, so you name a figure and it is answered personally within 24 hours.
No. This is an independent domain sale page. It has no affiliation with any Taif farm, cooperative, ministry, festival, distiller, fragrance house or producer, and none with UNESCO. Owning the domain confers no rights in any protected designation, certification or trademark; a buyer is responsible for how the name is used.
Once a price is agreed, payment is placed with an escrow service. The domain is then moved to your registrar account, or pushed to you at the current registrar, and the funds are released only when you confirm that you hold it. It usually takes a few days.
The form delivers your message to one inbox, the owner’s. It is used only to reply to you about this domain, is not added to a mailing list and is not passed to anyone else. You can also write directly to joseph.radler1@gmail.com.
