Tauer Perfumes Au Coeur du Désert is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Andy Tauer. Au Coeur du Désert opens with Cumin and Coriander, settles into a heart of Resin, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Ambergris. Tauer Perfumes's Au Coeur du Désert carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart or the blind buyer. Au Coeur du Désert is a polarising, powerhouse amber that demands confidence and a nuanced nose. It's a challenging masterpiece for some, a spice market air freshener for others.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its intense longevity and strong sillage, this fragrance is largely unsuitable for office environments. It shines in evening settings, formal gatherings, and romantic dates, where its mysterious and bold character can be fully appreciated. Too heavy for casual day wear and definitely not for sport.

About

Imagine a rich, dark amber, infused with a hefty dose of resins that almost glow with warmth. Woody depths of cedar and patchouli anchor the scent, while a complex spice blend of cumin and coriander adds an aromatic, almost animalic edge. It's dry, yet molten, with a lingering balsamic sweetness that evokes the stark beauty of a desert twilight. This isn't a shy scent; it's a profound, enveloping experience.
