Cuddle Rose

Tauer has several roses in his portfolio. This one is perhaps the least noticed. And my favorite among them.

There is a YouTube video where he presents his "Hidden Gems," and when he almost reaches the end to the bright red rose (Rose Vermeille), you see him smile happily for the first time.

It is indeed a rose to love. One to cuddle, snuggle, and want to bury yourself in. A soft, playful rose. Simply structured and wonderfully uncomplicated. But with emphasis and recognizability.

At the center of this linear Eau de Parfum are three ingredients that share equal importance: raspberry, rose, and ambergris. All are clearly perceptible from the very beginning. I would describe the overall impression as a waxy, silky-creamy raspberry rose. In its texture, it is opaque but kept airy and fresh, to which the listed lavender and violet certainly contribute. It has a lotion-like character - very comparable to its brand sister 'L'Eau' - and it always reminds me a bit of Malle's 'Iris Poudre.' While that rose appears soapier and slightly old-fashioned, Tauer's is young and unspoiled.

This is largely due to the raspberry aldehyde used, which is fortunately applied so sensitively that it does not dominate the fragrance. It contributes, yes, but does not dominate as it often does due to its intensely sweet character. The rose is cuddly, silky-soft, and makes me think of a body cream. However, the fragrance gains its very own character from a good dose of ambergris, as Tauer himself explains. It gives the scent a slightly peculiar, waxy, almost metallic tone, which adds a lot of brightness and airiness and keeps the fragrance from becoming overly sweet. This substance-giving base is known from many Tauer fragrances, quite distinctive and certainly his trademark. In combination with the raspberry rose, it can be perceived as slightly mismatched when worn - for some even plastic-like. This effect is very comparable to the combination of orange (blossom) and the aforementioned base in his 'Orange Star.'

**Longevity and Sillage:**
The longevity is, as expected from the brand, excellent (in rooms it remains present but unobtrusive for days) and even while wearing, the fragrance remains consistently noticeable without being overpowering.

**Conclusion:**
For me, this carefree, cheerful yet strong, individual rose is one of my favorites. If I could choose a fragrance for cuddling, it would be this one.

I'm unfortunately skeptical about waxy scents. Still sounds worth a try!

The scent would probably change on you. It's definitely noticeable - at least on my skin (not so much on the test strip). Thank you so much for stopping by! 😊

Another rose that sounds really lovely. 😊 The creaminess you described sounds nice... I would probably like it too. Help, I shouldn't read your rose reviews anymore! 🙈 😉

Rose is always a tricky subject for me, but you describe the scent so wonderfully that it makes me more than curious!

I know some rose scents that start off so beautifully but later just smell like a regular rose. I always find that disappointing.
Your description makes me want to give it a try.
Great!

It's definitely a bit unique due to its base, despite all its sweetness. It's one of those scents you either love right away or not at all, since it's very linear and reveals everything from the start. The Love Kills, for example, is more complex and stays that way. But it's a different, more traditional, and darker rose. Glad you were here! 🙏😊

I unfortunately never got to know this scent, but their Une Rose de Kandahar is one of my favorite rose fragrances. I'm glad you introduced me to this one!

You're welcome 😊 I still need to give Une Rose de Kandahar a real test; I've only tried it on a test strip so far. But I liked it already. I’m not sure when the Vermeille was discontinued - at least it's marked as such here - but in Holland, it's still available in regular stores. They have other ones there that are listed as discontinued here. Always interesting 😁 Glad you were here! 🙏🏻😊

I really like L'Eau. I find it hard to imagine it as a rose, but the texture you describe sounds cozy even to me, a rose skeptic.

It's like 'L'Eau' but with a fruity rose scent. I get a strong lotion vibe from both. So it might make the rose a bit more bearable for you 😉 Glad you were here! 🙏🏻😊

It didn't really convince me, but I just don't like all of Tauer's scents.

I should test it again. I didn't really like it back then.

It's a slightly unique scent, even though it's so simply structured and clean. Especially the base note probably won't appeal to everyone. Thanks for stopping by! 🙏🏻😊

And no matter how wonderfully you describe it, a rose won't come into my house ;-)

I don't know that one either. Sounds nice. But most of them are usually too strong for me.

I feel the same way about many Tauer fragrances. However, this one manages to feel very bright and light despite its "resilience." Otherwise, it wouldn't have worked for me either. It's a fruity rose, but the base makes it feel quite different from typical fruity-florals. And that creamy, clean aspect should suit you as well. Glad you were there! 🙏🏻😊

I've actually never smelled this Tauer. But it sounds very appealing. I do prefer Une Rose de Kandahar. However, a second rose fragrance from Tauer wouldn't hurt!?.. ;)

I've only tested the Rose de Kandahar on a strip so far. I liked it, but I found it more conventional than this one, which isn't a downside. It's just a very different direction. This one is really light-hearted without being fleeting. Thank you for being there! 🙏🏻😊
