Such an interesting and inspiring scent, on my skin smells just like pine-tree and church incense.

Maroc pour Elle is... a jasmin cloud!
I don't know how describe something so gorgeously made and stinky at the same time! On my skin it's mainly jasmin, but not the usual jasmin you can smell in...

Something kept me from sampling this until now. I loved L'Air du Desert Marocain. Even though the notes in this fragrance are very appealing to me, something did not grab me about it enough to even...

Love at first sniff... My mom is originally from Morocco. She was amazed to smell such a striking evocation of her birth country. I love its dryness and I would say... its humility. A beautiful...

I was completely surprised by this - it's so much more than a plain leather fragrance! LM begins with a sensual, deep, smoky leather scent layered with an herbal/vegetal note. As it dries down,...

Andy very kindly sent me a sample of this (very) limited edition, and I am utterly stunned by it. It starts out with a roar of leather (birchtar, apparently), and then softens quite suddenly into...

Why fight it? Andy Tauer should have just called this "Eau de Brokeback" and handed out samples of it at movie theaters. But that would have been too cheesy for such a well-composed perfume that...

Wow- this stuff is fantastic. It conveys exactly the image that Mr. Tauer intended it too. It's dry, warm, earthy and spicy, and sweetens up slightly during the drydown but not at all in a...

The opening had an unexpectedly "vintage" feel, like something popular in the 50's. (Sorry, can't explain any better than that.) It settled down and became an arid assortment of woods, not bad but...

Tauer's perfumes always take me on a journey. Marocain places me right smack in the middle of a desert caravan plying the dunes. Next to me are Bedouins and we're all clad in sun-baked djellabas...

Andy Tauer is the heir apparent to the throne of Serge Lutens. Jasmine has never worked on me so I was leery of this fragrance at first. Even dabbing it on for the first time I thought, Yay, I...

This perfume has clearly set many people off on lengthy Proustian reminiscences, and its creator has received much praise along the way. I find it a very nice ambergris note. In fact it could...

Le Maroc L Air du Desert Marocain begins with a spicy, green punch that feels masculine and slightly curmudgeonly, like an old professor. It shocks me to think I am wearing it. However, the incense...

This is undeniably a high-quality fragrance. There is a distinct lack of synthetics, high-octane alcohol, and inexpensive essential oils. For that reason alone, it deserves praise! As a...

I'll be the one to break the chain of love for this fragrance. It's far from disgusting or unpleasant, but it just doesn't agree with my skin chemistry. I like the spices, warm vanilla & leathery...
