Tauer Perfumes Sundowner EDP

Description

Sundowner is Andy Tauer's 2021 tobacco-and-amber composition, built around the ritual of watching a fire burn down at dusk. Cinnamon and candied orange peel open into a smoky heart of tobacco and cypriol, before settling into a sweet, ambery base of sandalwood, tonka bean and vanilla. Fragrantica describes it as “a tobacco-cinnamon scent in the Andy Tauer style (which is to say, astringently dry and remarkably textural”) a fair summary of a house that rarely does straightforwardly sweet.
