Tauer Perfumes 09 Orange Star is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Andy Tauer. 09 Orange Star opens with Clementine and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Lemongrass, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Ambergris. Tauer Perfumes's 09 Orange Star carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a divine, unique citrus powerhouse, while others just can't get past the 'bathroom cleaner' vibe. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with very little middle ground.

When To Wear

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its unique and sometimes polarising scent profile, mean it's not the best for an office environment. However, its warming amber and citrus character, frequently described as 'addictive' or ‘sexy’, makes it a strong contender for dates or evenings out, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime wear.

About

09 Orange Star opens with a thick, juicy burst of Mandarin and Clementine, not fresh and sparkling, but almost marmalade-like. This rich citrus soon meets a creamy orange blossom and a distinct, bracing lemongrass. As it dries, a deep, warm ambergris emerges, bringing a salty, slightly animalic warmth, underscored by smooth vanilla and tonka. Expect a journey from bright, sweet citrus to a complex, ambered glow, with some interesting detours along the way.
