Andy Tauer L'Air Du Desert Marocain Initial Review

[change1]

Ok, I received my sample of Andy Tauer L'Air Du Desert Marocain from the Perfume Court today.... Applied a few small drop on my wrist... let it dry for about 30 second and took a sniff... WOW! very sharp, incense, dry, tar, spicy and strong.... Smell kind of like Amouage Tribute and Amouage Memoir Man... then about a half hour later it smells kind of like Tiger Balm with a dose of ambergris... Spicy and very dry... do i like it? It's ok, but I don't think I'm going to buy a full bottle of Andy Tauer L'Air Du Desert Marocain... good thing I tried a sample and not blind buying this one... overall initial grade for this fragrance is a 7/10

[Jack Hunter]

I think its a great fragance though not something I would buy a full bottle of. I like the desert amber vibe and a decant or even a sample goes a long way with this one.

[L'Incandescent]

If it weren't for the ambery sweetness, I'd find the sharpness of this intolerable. As it is, I enjoy it but wouldn't buy a whole bottle. As Jack Hunter said, a small sample goes a long way.

I think it smells ok, but for $125 for a 50 ml bottle is not worth it...

[Nersh]

Ive had a 10 ML decant and wore it only a couple of times. Cant take more than 1 or 2 sprays of this beast.

[cameron]

Too powerful. Can't wear in real world settings.

[Oupavoc]

It's a great winter fragrance. I sampled it a few times, still neutral on getting a full bottle or not.

[forfreddie]

I'd love a bottle.
But, there are others in the Tauer line I need first, then we'll see...

Did you get any citrus? I hear people say they get a blast of citrus and I never smelled that.

I don't dislike it, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

[laph]

I don't get Tiger Balm but like you I didn't enjoy it enough to get a full bottle.

As a side note, despite being quite strong I personally enjoy Tauer's fragrances better when applied liberally.

[d4N13L]

Its fantastic but very expensive. I will hunt for a used bottle (50ml is a lot cause i need only 4 sprays of it (and im a heavy sprayer))

[taint it sweet]

I love this stuff. I agree that you need to be light on the trigger. One or two sprays is plenty.

[The Grifter]

Great cold weather scent, I bought 50 ml and like it.

[CityFan21]

I'm not much of a fan of this one either. It is a high quality fragrance but there is just too much piercing incense for me.

[Oslo-Fjord]

I love this stuff. I agree that you need to be light on the trigger. One or two sprays is plenty.

+1.

[Marais]

If you like this but find it a bit OTT, try Desert by Fragonard; it strikes me as a (much) tamer and more easily wearable version (and a lot cheaper).

[Trauerkraut]

I tried L'Air du Désert Marocain several times and decided it's not for me: it has a certain breathtaking note that's bothering me all day long(Le Troisième Homme by Caron has also such a note).

[hednic]

Although I don't own this scent, I have tried it on a number of occasions and like quite a bit.
