Au Coeur du Désert
Au Coeur du Désert by Tauer Perfumes is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with coriander, cumin, petitgrain and citrus notes, moves into labdanum and jasmine and dries down to patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver and ambergris. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
- Cumin Warm, spicy and unmistakably sweaty. Divides rooms.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
- Citrus Notes A mix of citrus peel with no single fruit named.
Heart
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
