Poetic Homage to Parfumer: Andy Tauer

I am the rose of Maghreb
that feel the loneliness of
a desert
but you
,
my dearest Tauer

found me there
captured my fragrant soul

evoked my dreams of gold

touched my precious petals
and I bloomed,
now and always
no more loneliness

you made me a princess
loved, desired

filled by happiness
now and ever
my princess soul
is

light and night
sun and moon
sandy and airy
my smell reigns
I am the rose
of
your désert marocain

(by Cris Rosa Negra, Fragrance Writer from Brazil)

(Dear Andy Tauer, thanks for creating L’air du désert marocain, the scent of the desire
Je l´aime et je l´aimerais, toujours” , your admirer Cris Rosa Negra)

Et Lux in Tenebris: Incense Rosé by Andy Tauer

Incense Rosé the new fragrance by Andy Tauer is a proposition towards this very end.

Incense Rosé was announced as “A fragrance that breaths

Incense Extrême by Tauer: fragrance review

I breathe in the cool incense smoke from the metal brazier,
While thinking about a poem for my dear friend Lu Wa.
My sandalwood-hearted companion spits out plum blossoms of smoke,
Looking like the cloudy fog of the other world.
Perhaps it’s the soul of my friend the old mountain man
In the smoke’s dense patterns?
- Kan Po, in memoriam (undated)

Perfume Review: Andy Tauer Hyacinth and Mechanic

By Tom

Andy has sent his latest scent on a “bottle journey”, where it has gone from perfume lover to perfume lover, who have commented upon it, The latest was Gaia, the Non Blonde, who was nice enough to send it to me.
