M7 by Yves Saint Laurent

A dark fragrance that is saturated with Oud/Agarwood. Reminds me of the incense burning in orthodox hindu temples in South India.

This is one fragrance I'll take it to my grave

Rive Gauche pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent

This cologne oozes sophistication. Crisp white shirt, blue jeans ,brown shoes and a hint of Rive gauche and I'm all set.

I get the distinct Rosemary in the first minutes...followed by lavander and cloves. and the final trace of vetiver creates a truly unique cologne which has the rare distinction (after M7 though) of vulnerable yet uber masculine.

double thumbs up for this one

L'Air du Desert Marocain by Tauer

Everything written about it is true...Dry- evocative - Sensual. I got this one recently and still am learning the subtle nuances of the composition...but if you ask me to summarize it I'd say its top notes have a faint resemblance to Boucheron's Jaipur pour homme with Amber Vetiver and faint hint of Incense in base notes...The dry down is too complex to put in words...subtle smooth presence ...its a must sample and then a must buy


another one that is a must buy from Tauer is Incense Extreme

Live Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent

I got this as a bling buy.. because of all the thumbs up reveiws here ..and I am not disappointed...it really is suitable for humid and hot climates. The initial blast is the bitter Lemon Peel, and a hint of Grapefruit I do not get the mint. After an hour or so...I get the faint coriander and a hint of vanilla and cedarwood.

My favourite part is the time when I take an evening bath- the hot water seems to bring out the bitter lemon and ambergris.

A must have in the collection cologne esp if you are in the hot /humid climate regions
