Golestan

Golestan by Tauer Perfumes is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, ylang-ylang, lemon and cinnamon, moves into rose, jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose and dries down to labdanum, patchouli, ambergris and vanilla. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.

Dry-down

Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
