Surprisingly gentle

An uncharacteristically mild-mannered offering from Tauer, especially considering that I usually find leather quite overbearing. A bit of pepper, some dark rose, and plenty of leather in a deep, opaque base of, well, whatever notes are listed — I really couldn't tell you otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, this is still more than strong enough for my taste, and a single spritz goes a long way.

It's not for me, but I'm not surprised about that given the listed notes. I'm more surprised by how little I dislike it: I find it to be a rather interesting and compelling take on leather, and can certainly appreciate it.

Jammy rose and leather

Lonesome Rider is an elegant leather and rose scent that takes definite cues from Andy Tauer's earlier smoky-leather creation, № 03 - Lonestar Memories, but is fresher, more floral, and ultimately more refined.

It begins with a crisp citrus opening of bergamot and grapefruit, providing a dose of juicy freshness that lasts well into the scent's delectably jammy rose heart. The rose is bolstered on the one hand by powdery lipstick iris, and on the other by a smooth leather accord. While the leather in Tauer's earlier Lonestar Memories was rough around the edges, saddle-worn, and infused with the smoke of a thousand campfires, the leather in Lonesome Rider is much more delicate, almost suede-like, and much less intensely smoky. It's also a lot sweeter and brighter, thanks to the rose and a touch of incense. The scent's base is similar to Lonestar, but less smoky and resinous, allowing the smooth woody notes to shine.

I regret not buying a bottle when Lonesome Rider was still available. Sadly, it has since been discontinued and is nearly impossible to find. I will treasure the last of my sample while I can, and hope that Tauer decides to revive it some day.

By Campfire

Imagine a cowboy dressed in denim and leather, sitting by a campfire on a beautiful starry night. Even though I do not know any cowboys, this is the vision I picture in my mind when I smell Lonesome Rider. What you have is a smoky, leathery scent that is reminiscent to a fragrance created by Prin or Papillon. Very nice materials were used to make this.

Lonesome Rider may not be my style of fragrance, but I’m still ecstatic that I have it in my collection.
