Le Maroc pour Elle
by Tauer

On my skin the opening is dominated by dry woods & patchouli, then it quickly becomes heavy on the jasmine, followed a few minutes later by a beautiful incense note. Over the next 90 minutes, the jasmine steadily becomes more dirty & animalic, & intertwines with the incense note in a wonderful way. l then get wafts of "Christmassy" spices, perhaps the combination of citrus & patchouli, although l can't pick out the citrus notes until the far drydown, when they mix with a chocolatey amber in the base. The sillage is fab, & it lasts a good 5 hours before fading to a skin scent.
l didn't expect to like this, having seen it compared unfavourably to L'Air du Desert Marocain, but l fell in love with it on the first wearing. Although l appreciate LADDM as a work of art, l personally find Le Maroc infinitely more wearable. That dirty jasmine & "headshop" incense combo works beautifully on my skin, appealing to the eternal hippie chick in me. l've now got myself a large decant, & l'm finding it both incredibly seductive & intensely soothing, especially sprayed on sheets!

Wow, this is another stunning beauty from Andy Tauer! Le Maroc pour elle is powerfull and still soft, very seductive and humble at the same time. The scent is warm and spicy with just a pinch of dark seductive rose in morning dew... This is a truly complex and yet wearable perfume for those with an attitude to the bombshell side of life, wow!
I recommend Le Maroc pour elle to everyone who can picture the sexy woman on the streets of Casablanca wearing a beautiful pencil skirt with sky-high stilettos, long and elegant satin gloves and a fur stole... just what I see (from movies) when enjoying the lush sillage and great tenacity :-)

Nobody else said leather? This is one of the rare scents that actually smells like real leather to me.

Le Maroc Pour Elle
Opening is VERY loud and Proud lot's of mandarins and hints of lavender going on here, Middle notes are very sensual and exotic blending Moroccan rose and jasmine, Dry down is very pleasant, Balancing the whole citrusy and flowery structure with Cedar wood and balm of oriental woods.
Although this fragrance is regarded as feminine, in my opinion it should be more a unisex type of scent, nevertheless, be aware of it's powers and do not forget "Go easy on the trigger" !!!
This fragrance will serve best as signature scent for creative, artistic thinking people.
Longevity and silage are monsters!
Andy Tauer is my Hero!

I'm a fan of Andy's work in general and love his palette of dense pure materials. This one is a strange beast for me. I think it may be the integration of orange and petitgrain with lavender and jasmine. Maybe these aren't my favourite notes. Together they conspire to evoke some kind of distant association that is menacing. It is an updo of Coty's l'Origan in many ways. So it's rich strong and evocative...and a lot of folks love it...but those same qualities work against depending on one's taste.

Confidently taking its position as the brazen matriarch of the Tauer Line, Le Maroc Pour Elle is an intensely spiced rosy patchouli which unveils its unmistakable presence from several metres away. As you'd expect, it evokes images of pungent souqs in Marrakesh, but there are also times when this potent juice tips over the edge and reminds me too much of the interior of an Asian grocery store. Exercise restraint, go for a more judicious application and marvel as a delectable powdery softness emerges.
