Fragrance Overview
Never thought I would see the day that Andy would go fresh. At least I wouldn’t put money on it. The Tauerade is not here. This definitely has Andy’s touch, but not what I have smelled in every other one of his perfumes I own, which are many. Andy has a way of finding these nose-addicting fumes and putting them in his creations. It’s like MSG on your skin. It brings back many memories of my Grandpa and hanging out with him. This is the 70’s in a bottle. This is Pan Am Airways in its glory days: everyone lining up in suits and dresses to fly off into newness. Heavy-duty polyester suits and cocktail shrimp vibes. Set proper dinner times with drinks to be had before. Leave It to Beaver. I think you’re catching me. I did not expect this, but I can tell it’s just too interesting not to own and wear all of the time. I just went herb picking last week and met some new friends. They aren’t into perfume but the healthiest herbs you can put into your body. They know the exact time and day to pick them for the highest potency. Was in love out there. They grew lemon balm, and it is almost exactly as it sounds—not sparkling fresh lemon but dense, herbacious, green, soft lemon mint. I can smell this was used here, and it is genius. Very impressed Andy pulled this trick out for this; it’s a visit to the mountains. This is just like being out on that herb farm.Fragrance Review
Instantly when I put my nose on this, I get a candy. Don’t even ask; it is nose candy, and it is addictive. It’s got a pure air about it with a festival arriving at the foot of the village mountains. It’s seductive, medicinal in nature, and pulls you in to an experience. Honestly it doesn’t transition that much. It’s just a unique accord. There is no patchouli in this, but gives you that feel that patchouli gives off. That green fresh spice feel. Slightly woody, some spiciness, a whiff of florals to it. I couldn’t pick out the exact source note, but there was a familiarity to the three accords. Overall this feels like you are at a vibrant herb farm with fresh wet mountain air. Another winner in my opinion, but sample first. This goes in a whole new direction for Tauer. If you are in love with that rugged, dark smell that adorns most of the line, know that it won’t be found here. You will, however, be rewarded with some of the best smelling air that this earth has to offer. I imagine these are smells Andy picks up while on his runs. Ambergris, tonka, fir, birch, dried needles, lily, orchid, wild thyme, basil, rosewood, nutmeg, mountain lavender, lemon balmPerfumer's Notes:

You're killing it lately! Thanks for the review
Thanks, brother!!!
Another good one Brandon. Definitely know what you mean by that addicting qualtiy. Sometimes, it's what gets me up in the morning. You know, BESIDES the drugs. ????????????
NICE!!! Because Andy doesn't give out free stuff unfortanately not a lot of reviewers have covered this. I am surprised it is some good work being done.
Thanks for the coverage. i wonder what orchid smells like? The ones my mom used to grow had a generic slightly spicy green smell. But many orchids smell different.
Therapeutic Fragrance Hmm…I’m not too sure. There’s one guy who described another orchid variety (a particular species in Singapore) of smelling like a lily! That’s vastly different. I wonder what the generic orchid smell in western perfumery is considered like? I should ask folks in the industry. I don’t even know what TF Black Orchid has to do with the real thing. I have not liked on any Tauer releases other then LDDM and Couer (not counting the Flash stuff). Might buy a sample in my next purchase.
This is completely new work. Must sample to.see what he's doing in the new Accord. The forest air fume.
@Therapeutic Fragrance Just bought samples of his whole flash series and the new one. I just remembered that I did kind like the Le Maroc Pour Elle. Wish he still shipped to Canada. I love his sample boxes.
Actually i see Canada as an option again. There was a period of time when it wasn't. Looks like i will be getting a discovery set for my birthday!!!
Agreed Tauer samples are my favorites I think the tin case puts it over the top. Easy to travel with. Great to know Canada is still an option.
Great review! Want to give this a try! Yes….. to the polyester suits and shrimp cocktail…..lol❤️
Nice two one liners recognized in this video!!! I think Tauer will get a lot of new people over to his house with this one.
Nice review
Thanks!
Andy Handy ????????
Love that you picked this up went back to add that to the video. Cheers.
@Therapeutic Fragrance haha ????
Do a farmer's market/farm video
This would be an ultimate, it could easily be said this is the origin for my journey over a decades ago. Might figure something out next season.
most reviews on this aren't that great, I will sample it and decide for myself but I'm not really excited about it anymore.
maybe au coeur des alpes will be better…
Where did you find info on Au coeur des alpes? Interested. Wonder if that is this concept with his other house accord. I haven't heard a thing on this one personally. But stand by everything. This is an opposite direction for what people are used to with Tauer. It is super hard to pull off new accords and I think it was needed for the house to expand to people that don't want the OG Tauer all the time. Must sample for sure and just like people were divided on the the famous LDDM accord same here. Cheers!
@Therapeutic Fragrance it was a joke , some jokes become reality though so maybe in the future…
Lol, you honestly might have predicted something.
Another solid descriptive review, broken down very well! Keep em' coming!
???? Thanks!!!
"PanAm in it's glory days" ROFL Great review as always, but that was hilarious!
Happy to see someone picked that up. Having a little more fun with my writing. 🙂
It's been a while m8, everything alright
Yeah just busy at work, thanks for checking in. Hopefully some new vids up soon.
You totally right , it’s a Winn from this brand, it’s not a very unique scent but the special here is the sharpness of cooling from the first hour when you sprayed butttttttttt I think ???? it so deserves to buyyyyyy full bottle and also that so incredibly attractive for women I swear.
I'm gonna have to dig up this sample. It is perfect for this season.
