Au Coeur du Désert

Tauer Perfumes · Parfum / Extrait · 2016

≈ $195 · 50ml · approx. retail

An extrait de parfum reworking of L'Air du Désert Marocain at roughly 20% concentration for greater richness and depth. It shares the same coriander, cumin, cistus and jasmine skeleton, resting on patchouli, cedarwood, vetiver and ambergris. A denser, longer-lasting version of the house's signature desert amber.
