Alpine mountain air in a bottle? What's that? What's that?
Anyone who has already had one or the other fragrance from the house of Tauer under his nose knows that its naming is not seldom absolutely correct. Already with "No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain" the name was program. Olfactory one was delighted by dry, spicy air, which evoked associations of desert and heat. Can Tauers latest creation, "L'Air des Alpes Suisses", also provide a fitting association for the name?
Sprayed on the back of my hand, herbaceous, green and above all spicy notes waft around me. This is accompanied by a tremendously strong powderiness, which makes my nose bite granite - in the sense of the top note. One can compare this state with various iris-heavy smells, with which the iris overruns also the nasal mucous membranes for the time being with its almost scratchy appearing cleanliness, later however is restrained by the other smells.
The situation is similar with the alpine Tauer air, which is of course not iridescent, but just as pure and clear, but in a green, typical mountain air way. The whole thing is absolutely unsweet, something goes into the astringency and gains more depth in the later course of fragrance, as the earth listed in the base note joins in. To imagine this better, I recommend to go to a rock and smell it. You'll probably notice a mineral cold, coupled with absolute cleanliness, and if you combine that impression with your scent knowledge around the already familiar green and herbaceous notes, you'll get an idea of how Tauers creation smells.
Judging by my description, some people might think that I am completely enthusiastic about this composition. But please continue reading.
It is a special fragrance that is quite different from other green fragrances. It is also a fragrance that lasts a long time on the skin and knows how to communicate with its surroundings, while the wearer does not register this at all. As a wearer, I personally classified it as a rather quiet, almost very close scent until my family environment proved the opposite with its "friendly" messages.
Despite these two positive characteristics, which ultimately ensure that the expensive bottle is not emptied too quickly due to the economical dosage, I am sure that such a bottle will not move in with me. My expectations were too high, which was fuelled both by "No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain" and by "Collectible PHI - Une Rose de Kandahar" - two olfactory revelations par excellence. Tauers alpine breeze unfortunately does not trigger anything in me, even if it takes on an interesting and above all new shape, which I have never heard before. And if I asked myself already with the Moroccan desert air, to what extent this is bearable in the everyday life, then I stand also with "L'Air des Alpes Suisses" before that problem definition. In "No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain" the answer was in the form of a "just so", while I attribute "L'Air des Alpes Suisses" briefly and concisely with a "not portable".
I beg your pardon, Mr. Tauer.
