Tauer Perfumes PHI Une Rose de Kandahar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Andy Tauer. PHI Une Rose de Kandahar opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, Almond, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Tauer Perfumes's PHI Une Rose de Kandahar carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

This one's a masterpiece, but she's not for everyone. PHI Une Rose de Kandahar is a polarising, complex rose, adored by many for its unique, warm, and sophisticated take on the classic floral, yet some find it too powdery, spicy or even reminiscent of baby products. Definitely try before you buy to see if it suits your skin.

About

PHI Une Rose de Kandahar opens with a jammy, sweet burst of apricot and bitter almond, spiced with a hint of cinnamon and a subtle shimmer of bergamot. The heart reveals a rich, dark rose, intertwined with geranium and a dry, aromatic tobacco leaf. As it settles, a warm, creamy base of vanilla, tonka bean, and musk emerges, grounded by earthy vetiver, patchouli, and a whisper of salty ambergris, leaving a complex, soft, and slightly powdery trail.
