≈ $140 · 50ml · approx. retail
Tauer's signature fragrance and best-known creation, opening with coriander, cumin and petitgrain over a heart of cistus and jasmine. A warm, dusty base of cedarwood, vetiver and ambergris evokes heat radiating off desert sand at dusk. Widely credited with helping launch the modern niche 'desert amber' genre.
