PHI Une Rose de Kandahar
PHI Une Rose de Kandahar by Tauer Perfumes is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with apricot, cinnamon, bitter almond and bergamot, moves into rose and geranium and dries down to tobacco, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla, tonka bean and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Apricot Warm, jammy stone fruit. Often hiding inside osmanthus.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Bitter Almond Marzipan with a sharp, cherry-stone edge. Sweet but slightly medicinal.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
