Cuddly rose

Tauer has several roses in his portfolio. This is perhaps his least recognized. And my favorite from it.

There is a YouTube video in which he presents his "Hidden Gems" and when he comes to the bright red rose (Rose Vermeille) almost at the end, you can see him smiling happily for the first time.

Because she is one 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 recognition value.

At the center of this linear eau de parfum are three equally important ingredients: Raspberry, Rose and Ambergris. All are clearly perceptible from the outset. I would describe the overall scent as a waxy, silky-creamy raspberry-rose. Its texture is opaque, but airy and fresh, to which the listed lavender and violet certainly contribute. It has a lotion character - very comparable to that of its brand sister 'L'Eau' - and always reminds me a little of Malle's 'Iris Poudre'. But while that rose is soapy and slightly old-fashioned, Tauers is young and fresh.

This is largely due to the raspberry aldehyde used, which is fortunately used so delicately that it does not dominate the fragrance. It plays a part, yes, but does not dominate as it often does due to its intensely sweet character. The rose is supple, silky soft and makes me think of a body cream. However, the fragrance gets its very own character from a good dose of ambergris, as Tauer himself explains. It gives the fragrance a slightly distinctive, waxy, almost metallic tone, which adds a lot of lightness and airiness and prevents the fragrance from becoming too sweet. This substance-giving base is familiar from many Tauer fragrances, quite unique and certainly his trademark. In combination with the raspberry rose, it can be perceived as slightly inappropriate - even plastic-like for some - when worn on its own. In this effect, it is very comparable to the combination of orange (blossom) and the aforementioned base in his 'Orange Star'.

**Longevity and sillage:**
The longevity is, as usual from the brand, excellent (in rooms it remains present, but unobtrusive for days) and even when worn, the fragrance remains clearly present throughout without being overpowering.

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