Tauer Perfumes Au Coeur Du Desert Extrait

Description

Au Coeur du Désert is Andy Tauer's 2016 extrait-strength companion to his signature L'Air du Désert Marocain, the same desert-amber theme pushed into denser, more concentrated territory. Spice and citrus notes open before a pure amber heart takes over, settling into a resinous, bass-y base of balsamic notes, patchouli and ambergris. Reviewers describe it settling into “a deep, dusty amber”, one called it “a masterpiece” for how it concentrates Tauer's desert theme into something denser and more resinous than the original EDT.
