Vetiver Dance, a new unisex fragrance, is coming in October from Tauer Perfumes:
Vetiver oil is one of the most fascinating natural fragrances to work with. Exploring the dark, raw and almost damp earthiness of vetiver oil you may discover hidden gems. Delicate lines of green leaves, clear spices, and soft flower petals…
Andy Tauer of Tauer Perfumes is celebrating his blog's third anniversary by giving away 100 free samples of his upcoming vetiver fragrance:
The sample is a pre-sniff of the upcoming Vetiver from Tauer. The fragrance still has no name. It is a fragrance built around vetiver from Java, with fresh grapefruit, lots of black pepper and green clary notes in the head. Lily of the valley contrasts the dark vetiver and crisp Cedar wood, leading over to a soft ambergris base with hints of Tonka beans and cistus.
To get your free sample (one per person, please!) fill out the form at the Tauer website. Update: The samples are all taken now, sorry!
Andy Tauer of Tauer Perfumes and Vero Kern of Vero Profumo will be at Sündhaft in Munich on Friday, May 30th from noon to 7 pm for an informal talk about the art of hand-crafted perfume. They will bring along some single accords and fragrance raw materials to illustrate the process of perfume making, and will be happy to answer questions.
Drinks and coffee will be served, and you can drop by at any time — no reservations are necessary. The store is located at Reichenbachstrasse 30, Munich.
Yesterday I wore two discontinued favorites: L’Artisan’s lovely Jacinthe des Bois and Gobin Daudé’s Sous Le Buis. Layered, the combination was the perfect spring-time fragrance: happy, floral, and very green. But the cool evenings of spring are also perfect for incense fragrances. Here are four worth considering:
I loved Incense extrême by Tauer Perfumes, and I can’t remember now why I took it into my head that I wouldn’t like the newer Incense rosé nearly as well. Whatever the reason, I was quite wrong, as I like it even better. This is a simply lovely fragrance, not quite so bright and airy as the extrême, but still, not quite dark: it has the same soaring quality…
The rabbit shown at right is hidden somewhere on the Tauer Perfumes website.
Be one of the first 50 or so people to find it, and you'll win a free sample of Tauer's latest fragrance, Incense rosé. When all of the samples are spoken for, Andy Tauer will post a note on his blog, so check there before you go off rabbit-hunting.
Update: they're all gone!
