Realistic citruses, laundry detergent and a herbal spicy drydown
Cologne du Maghreb has that touch of № 09 - Orange Star in that it has that generous, warm, realistic orange peel start. It's very realistic, I could picture myself peeling open an orange for a snack. The overall vibe also mingles with some laundry detergent vibe just like Tilia. There's some powderiness, but also a fresh, clean aspect that's enjoyable. I'd say the citruses and the herbs are the most noticeable of the bunch. I barely got any florals through all of this. It ends up drying down into a nice, calm, soothing, herbal composition where rosemary seems to pull the strongest on my skin. There's also some spiciness as it dries down that leans masculine to me, but nothing a woman wouldn't wear.
Overall it's pretty pleasing and it reminds me of a bunch of perfumes layered together. It's not the strongest of Tauer's creations, but it has an identity all on its own. It leans more masculine to me because of the drydown, which is why I won't be getting it, but overall I found it to be quite enjoyable.
