Orange Star

Tauer Perfumes · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2010

≈ $150 · 50ml · approx. retail

A 'winter orange' built without the clove or cinnamon spicing typical of the genre, opening with mandarin and clementine. Orange blossom and lemongrass carry the heart over a base of ambergris, tonka bean and vanilla. Sweet and sunny with a warm amber undertone rather than the house's usual dry desert register.
