07 Vetiver Dance, from Tauer Perfumes was released in 2008. The perfumer behind this creation is Andy Tauer. It has the top notes of Clary Sage, Grapefruit, and Pepper, middle notes of Lily-of-the-Valley, Rose, and Vetiver, and base notes of Ambergris, Cedarwood, Labdanum, and Tonka Bean.
This is a really odd outing from Tauer and something which I was eagerly anticipating but just straight forward don't like now I've tried it. The opening is a strange, stagnant one a little like acrylic paint but not even as nice somehow duller. It's oddly floral as it settles, lilly of the valley, loads of clary sage and pepper come to the forefront. The base of this fragrance is deeply rooted(no pun intended) in an earthy vetiver and ambergris but I get beeswax and a touch of honey even. It comes off like a very masculine hand cream to my nose, very weird and just unpleasant. Not something I would choose to smell like but an interesting composition from Andy Tauer who is impressive in his approach when tackling well known notes and accords, taking them in a different direction. Vetiver Dance is not for me.
