This to me starts with a camphorous cistus note and sweet vanilla. It is dry and airy; subtle. I feel like I should love this looking at the note list and I love amber It’s right up my alley but unfortunately its just not my cuppa.
This is my reference amber. Dry, spicy, herbal, camphorus amber fragrance. It's an all timer in my opinion. If you're into fragrance, it's a must try imho.
I get fougere minus the citrus top (not my favorite style) instead of the spicy oriental fragrance I was expecting. The dryness is very well done and it is well blended. I really love the scent especially when I first put it on but it is so linear after the first 15 minutes that it begins to wear on my nerves in an hour or so. The linearity ultimately makes this hard to wear. Edit: After a couple more wears this has grown on me. I don't find it as linear as the first wear. For one thing the cumin pops out occasionally though I can never find it when I smell directly.
This is only the second Tauer fragrance I've tried and I must say I'm impressed. I thought this would be a real powerhouse hit of spice and leather judging by the name but it turns out L'Air du desert Marocain has a light touch. Gorgeous bold opening of petitgrain before the spices settle and becomes a deep warm amber, it's never ever harsh and captures the 'air' vibe perfectly. The caraway and coriander float on the top as if carried on the breeze and has a strange quality of projecting without being strong at all. What I mean by that is you have to get close up to the skin to smell L'Air du desert Marocain but on occasion I caught a whiff of it during the day and it seemed to be in the air. It's a tricky one and I like that....'secret silage' I'm going to call it. :) Anyway it's needless to say I'm impressed with this juice it's been a long time coming and I've heard lots people sing it's praises, now I know why. Update: Few hours in and the dry down is spectacular close to the skin now but it smells so comforting and warm it's gorgeous! I'm getting this no doubt about it!
I could sell off hundreds of bottles and keep this and Le Lion. Quintessential dry amber that leaves me content to be a speck of dust in the universe.
