It's hard to describe this Andy-Tauer-made marvel in a few words; it's both woody and animalic, floral and ambery oriental, all at once. The trademark ambreine that Tauer uses is very discernible, given the intensity of what feels like natural jasmine, or maybe a euphoric mingling of white flowers that recalls the orange trees which give welcome solace to the Moroccan traveler.
There are fragrances which you spray and go on about your day. This isn't one of them. The torrid complexity of dry heat, arid spice, sweet rosiness and deep, plush resinous notes which recall ancient pharmacopoeia, is capable of clearing a room if you're overzealous with the sprayer. But use it with tempered self-discipline and you can enjoy its luminous depths for days on end, on your skin as well as your clothes.
A single bottle will last you beyond your last will and testament. Very few fragrances can claim to deliver such tremendous value for money.
I'm afraid I am on my second bottle! Maybe I cleared some rooms in the process?
ReplyDeletei am very fond of this perfume---i find it a very successful evocation of exactly what it is named. it reminds me of being in a house in the atlas mountains in the evening...it's got this gorgeous dry but sense-filling quality. some scents are like paintings or poems in a bottle, evocative. this is one...
