Tauer Perfumes Phtaloblue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Andy Tauer. Phtaloblue opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Fennel, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Orange Blossom, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Sea Water, Amber, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. Tauer Perfumes's Phtaloblue carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Phtaloblue is Tauer's most divisive creation to date, a love-it-or-hate-it aquatic that defies traditional blue fragrance expectations. It's a bold, artistic statement, but be warned: some find it an absolute scrubber, while others adore its unique, evocative qualities.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its strong projection and unique, sometimes challenging, profile make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its aquatic and fresh characteristics, coupled with reviews mentioning gym wear, make it ideal for casual and sport usage.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a cool, herbal blast of fennel and lavender, brightened by bergamot and lemon, giving way to an unexpected heart of orange blossom and green notes that evoke humid air. The dry down is a salty marine accord, backed by warm cedar, inviting amber, and a soft touch of tonka bean, painting a complex picture of coastal air and indoor pools. It's an abstract, unconventional sensory journey, far from your typical fresh aquatic.
