That was fast! I saw scentzaturra’s vid yesterday and yours today! Agree the packaging is great! I only have a sample set, thx for bringing us new releases!
Thank you. This sounds really nice and worth sampling. I only have 2 and hadn't realised he's repackaged. I opted for ACDD instead of Camel and look forward to your Camel video.
@@kathywitter6076 I have both and they are quite different! Camel is more animalic and fruity, it’s way more “fun”. ACDD is way more elegant and wearable 😉
Haha I knew you’d be one of the first to get this up! I have to admit, this particular Tauer doesn’t excite me. I’m not really drawn to gourmand fragrances, and as silly as this may sound, I don’t like the bottle design on this. That said, I just blind bought Phi for a very good price, and will definitely be getting Golestan eventually, as I have yet to find a white floral I like more.
@@nathanielmoody3656 I feel this one will not be for everyone, it’s quite direct in its concept. I’m not a huge fan of the art either but at least the bottle is the usual shape; it’s ok! PHI and Golestan are amazing 🤩
Great job as always, Daniel. I think there is something terribly thrilling in blind-buying a perfume, even if I did only a handful of time (and I got always lucky). Tauer is not my thing, his scents are overly dry, but now that I see how much attention he spends in preparing his shippings, I am temped to buy one...let's see
This one is also quite dry but out of the ones I tried I might be the most sweet. PHI is also gorgeous! Probably the least dry are the two fresher ones: Alpes Suisses and Phyaloblue.
@@SeldomlyOften I will try PHI (btw, I am looking for a rose scent, shouldyou have any suggestions...). A fine mese, contatto MIrem per Bee. grazie dei consigli!
Fun! It’s nice that you bought it from him and that he returned the love. The full presentation is really thoughtful and heartfelt! Not a gourmand guy myself, but I happy to hear it has Andy’s dry DNA. I’ll sample it once it arrives stateside. I look forward to the full review!
This is exciting news indeed. Thank you, Daniel. It'll take a while for the bottles to reach Australia, haha. Also, it's good that other respected perfume commentators are learning about you. All the best.
Just saw your review on fragrantica! I also got my decant of portrait of a lady in a few days ago and the opening was very different than what I was expecting. Gonna order some samples of Tauer incense rose , amouage incense rose (decant got crushed by UPS sadly), and amouage royal tobacco today to try them out after hearing about your reviews. Do you have any recommendations of darker rose fragrances without the green vibe? Also thanks as always for your high quality videos!
@@wattamugen4055 thanks for stopping by and commenting! Tauer Incense Rosé doesn’t have much rose in it, it’s a strange fragrance that didn’t work out for me. Amouage Rose Incense is gorgeous but I would not say it’s dark, is dry, powdery and cold with a white, sweet, incense smoke. Royal Tobacco is incredible! I would say that the darkest rose I tried and own is Oud Satin Mood Extrait, no green in there, just a thick creamy rose with a molten heart of sweet lava.
My sample of this is on its way and I'm really excited to try it. I love Tauer and I really want to see what his vision of a cacao gourmand is. I'm a bit jealous of the goodies you get in your packages. lol. I also order direct from him, but in the US he uses a fulfillment warehouse in California (I think it's run by LuckyScent) and they don't really give you much extra except for a sample or two. Still worth it to support him, though.
So glad you noted about the US fulfillment. I was making a note to buy directly from the website in the future. So jealous of that personal presentation package!
Sound quite interesting. Happy that it is not very sweet. I love cacao (the bitter powdery one). Cinnamon sticks….love it. I have to try it. Do you know Borneo from Serge Lutens ?…quite expensive but interesting. It is somehow gothic (dark cacao and an earthy patchouli )
Not a fan of the new large stickers….such a downgrade IMO but I can see why he would do it for marketing purposes. And I came to check to see if the atomizers were any better but seems like not yet! This seems like I would enjoy it but owning Vanille Havane I don’t see the need for it at the moment. Cheers.
I have to use a travel atomizer when I wear tauer…how is this even possible that a 15 dollar clone house get so much better atomizer than a niche house ?!
@@SeldomlyOften And he never upgraded them , bought LDDM back in 2013 and after 10 years still have that crappy atomizer . Hey at least he upgraded the cap, my Tauer bottle came with a rubber band around the atomizer neck so cap won’t fall off 😂
Maybe because it’s elixir concentration which requires a very pressurized atomizer to disperse nicely and he probably didn’t invest in sourcing good ones
I came across this new frag while scrolling through Andy's ins yesterday. I thought to myself that I would suggest you to try it and give your impression. Here we are today and you got it already! I'm glad that you like it. Can't wait for your full review on this cocoa concoction ;)
@@SeldomlyOftenone unrelated question, Daniel. Have you ever tried Carved Oud from Thameen? I got it today and it smells smooth and elegant, somewhat reminiscent of the dry down of a particular fragrance that I cannot recognize (I don't own or smell Oud Wood ever).
Thanks for getting us a 1st impression so quickly! Excellent insight provided, as usual.

@@patchoulipapi I also have Vanillr Havane, they smell nothing like each other. Sure, it’s not a “practical” scent, not really useful per se.
@@patchoulipapi I like Vanille Havane more by the way
Tauer atomizer is uup there with Tom Ford private blend as the worst ever. The scents are a different story
Probably worse to be honest 😂
I have to use a travel atomizer when I wear tauer…how is this even possible that a 15 dollar clone house get so much better atomizer than a niche house ?!
@@dieselboy77 100% possible, some clones have awesome sprayers. No idea why Tauer ones are so freaking bad
