Tauer Perfumes
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
The aldehydes announce themselves with a gentle, almost creamed quality, immediately undercut by bergamot's sharp citric snap and bourbon geranium's green-peppery freshness. Within moments, tuberose emerges—not the hedonistic white floral bomb you might expect, but something considerably more restrained and luminous, as though glimpsed through frosted glass.
The florals expand into their fullest expression as ylang ylang's honey-tinged sweetness and jasmine's subtle powdery facets bloom alongside the still-prominent tuberose. Here, the composition reveals its true character: a carefully balanced arrangement where geranium's spicy-green thread prevents the white florals from becoming sepulchral or overly creamy. The overall effect is fresh despite the heavy floral concentration.
Frankincense's austere resinous character emerges as the florals recede, joined by creamy sandalwood and iris that create an almost talcum-soft skin scent. Styrax and vanilla provide subtle sweetness, whilst vetiver's green herbal whisper and patchouli's earthy foundation anchor everything into a refined, intimate woody-amber that fades gracefully rather than clinging desperately.
Noontide Petals arrives as a study in restraint masquerading as abundance. Andy Tauer has constructed something deceptively simple: a floral arrangement where each bloom occupies its own discrete space rather than melting into a seamless tapestry. The aldehydes—those soapy, slightly metallic cousins of classic perfumery—provide scaffolding rather than sillage, refusing to project loudly but instead establishing a crisp, almost architectural framework upon which the florals hang.
This is tuberose for those who find most tuberose fragrances cloying. Here, the white floral's creamy indolic depth is tempered by bourbon geranium's peppery green bite and the sharp citric snap of bergamot. The geranium-citrus interplay prevents the heart notes from becoming a heady, intoxicating mass; instead, they feel aerated, almost cool. Ylang ylang contributes honeyed sweetness without saccharine excess, whilst jasmine adds a subtle powdery haze that softens without blurring the composition's clean lines.
