Tauer Perfumes L'Air Du Desert Marocain Eau de Toilette (50 ml) #10072842

Powerful, sensual and pure. Laying on the bed, watching the moon rise over the sandy hills of the Saharan desert, he dreamt the fragrance of a Moroccan night. Imagine a happier Moroccan ending for Sebastian Flyte (and Aloysius), a true escape devoid of death and filled with the vibrant colors and textures of this far-from-England. Coriander is a soft, sparkling effect at the top of this scent, a transparent, voile like curtain that overhangs the sandy density of a fruity, almost floral cuming. Before cumin can grow too animalic, petitgrain imitates the sun and illuminates, explodes and disperses these spices over the following notes, a subtle, piquant confetti. Rose is a rich yet remarkably clean scent, as dense as satin and devoid of sweetness. Jasmine is rose's opposite, a fluid, uncontainable cousin, a free spirit of indolic sweetness that ultimately settles down into a solid, grounding force. Cedar is a terse smoke that wreathes vetiver, a shimmering, savory sweet verdancy; together these notes recreate L'air, making it brusque and as matter-of-fact as the desert wind. Ambergris is the final level of this scent, a relic of when these sandy slopes were sea, and the element that resolves the balance between savory and sweet in this fragrance. Warm, Tauer-strong (which is to say, very concentrated), and dry, this fragrance warms our hearts and drives us to keep striding, towards the hazy horizon.
