Tauer’s Masterpiece

There are scents that capture a moment, and in L'air du desert Marocain is clear that Tauer found a magic combination of notes that creates a special story, The scent is splitted in Three in the best way possible, There is a straight Citrus that is combind with Coriander Cumin and Lavander wich gives a first burst of whats to come, but is not directly pleasant, as in any good scent the unbalance create interests and here is masterfully done. Labdanum and Geranium follows the scent into a floral aspect that make the scent elegant and "Pleasing" to the nose, but is strongly connected to the bottom, You can virtually " see" the layers, one is interconnected with other, the sky, the sand, and the ground, "L'air" itself is fresh (in warm weather) ,and the sand is dry, but the ground is deep not fully dark and a bit wet, amber like, is truly a great scent to at least try to inject knowledge to your nose. Andy is capturing the air above the beautiful landscape frozen in time.

I do understand why this scent become a giant hit, it has that special connection to a real life feeling perfectly balanced, yet it goes away when he desires, giving you a certain leathery, woody trail when you smell it out of you, there is a very bitter combo Patchouli / Petitgrain that makes it almost unpleasant at the first sniff, but that is clearly why the scent becomes more light leather than full wood/amber, He worked out that balancing on a pin the Petitgrain bitterness and the sweetness of the flowers gives this special balance that is very hard to find when composing a scent, one way or another Tauer figured out a perfect sweetspot. Glad i own it, and i can say that is clearly my style. It goes in the middle of the Desert scents collection that are more into the deep night, when the sun is gone, and the air becomes slowly colder, but not yet, the warm breeze is still up there, fully in the night, it's a moment in time, balanced to perfection. This scent with Black Afgano are really the definition of nieche selfmade bangers, and will go in history as a very unique and personal amber style that people will keep discovering and coming back to.
