PHI - Une Rose de Kandahar

Tauer Perfumes · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2013

≈ $215 · 50ml · approx. retail

Part of Tauer's limited 'PHI' collector series, opening with almond, apricot, cinnamon and bergamot. Rose, tobacco leaf and geranium form the heart over ambergris, patchouli, vanilla, tonka bean, musk and vetiver. A gourmand, fruity-spiced rose rather than a classic soliflore.
