Phtaloblue
Phtaloblue by Tauer Perfumes is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon, lavender and fennel, moves into geranium and orange blossom and dries down to amber, tonka bean and cedarwood. 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.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Fennel Sweet anise with a green bite. Softer than star anise.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
