№ 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain Tauer Perfumes 2005 Eau de Toilette Intense

So dry, desert, spice market, that's all nonsense. What does a desert smell like, or how should something smell dry? With wine, dry does not mean sweet - if that is what is meant here, then that is only partly true. That is all nonsense, as you would say in Germany - or in Austria "nonsense". You can still imagine a spice market, but it smells different everywhere, and you cannot generalize. And that the spice market in Morocco smells like that, so please. The associations that some people here come up with are already gigantic, just because the perfumer has come up with a certain name for his water - and everyone jumps on this bandwagon and parrots everything. Sorry, I don't want to step on anyone's panties, but I don't think anyone can really tell me what a desert or sand smells like. The next one comes and says it smells like water...

Here are my impressions, which you may now also tear up in the air if you like :-):
I can simply say that this Tauer smells fantastic, and whether you associate it with desert, drought, spice market or jungle is up to you. In any case, for me this is not a spice market, because it is too gentle for me. It is a pleasant, soft, almost vanilla touch that is in the air here. At the beginning a light freshness with lavender wrap, but then it slowly fades away. Later it becomes dreamlike smooth, or how should I say a bit creamy, ambiguous, very slightly sweet with a not obtrusive Sillage. It is not that it hits like a bomb, but it spreads like a creeping fog in the room and lasts quite long.

For me one of the best fragrances on my shelf, and I can hardly keep my nose off of it. There are no rough edges, just perfect!
