Smoky leather
I'm not one of those who has to test everything that Tauer brings out. Nevertheless, I recognize the quality of scents like the Moroccan desert, even if it is not my hunting ground, and so I have only followed Tauer on the sidelines. Now I received the Lonestar Memories as a response to my last blog as a suggestion that it could be something. Well then, then curtain up:
The opening reminds me of Cuir Andalou only without the oily and somewhere really raw note. From the beginning it smells high-quality and carefully worked out but on a moderate level. Smoking leather? Yes. But: trimmed to be extremely wearable. Which means nothing bad. Somewhere this is also a more tame Burning Barbershop, only this time the leather aprons are burned.
But one thing at a time: the leather dominates the fragrance or pulls the strings. The cistus, which I associate with Tauer anyway because of its prominent role in the Moroccan desert, is not a stingy species. This smoky scent comes from the myrrh on the one hand and the cistus on the other. One should not forget that it smells like labdanum, i.e. resinous. The myrrh itself rather provides for a spicy-warm character which is also perceptible here. This extreme herbaceousness, which leads to this smoky impression in the melange, is carried along by the Muscat Sage, which is also evident in the fact that this extreme gradually fades away, calling the top notes goodbye.
The further Lonestar Memories progresses, the less it resembles Cuir Andalou and the more it smells like Burning Barbershop only not as intense and not as complex. It goes more in the direction of pungent notes underlaid with smoke whereas the smoke of the BB is more like a veil. Nevertheless, the fragrance as a whole exerts a certain fascination, this smoking leather bewitches the senses.
We are far from birch tar and similar smoke here. From intensive leather smells likewise. But it does not always have to be that way. This scent is of high quality and artfully worked so that in the end, despite the mentioned "criticism", I can't help but appreciate Lonestar Memories. Tauer has managed to work up a smoking smoke in an interesting and refined way so that it doesn't seem too monotonous in the long run, which is what disturbs me, for example with Incendo by La Curie.
