Tauer Perfumes · Parfum / Extrait · 2024

≈ $245 · 50ml · approx. retail

The first release in Tauer's 'Elixir' line, centered on a rare double-distilled cocoa extract from Côte d'Ivoire. Cocoa and bergamot open onto more cocoa, dates and white flowers, resting on ambergris, vanilla, woody notes, cedar and musk. A gourmand fragrance built to read as warm cocoa rather than sugary chocolate.
