Tauer Perfumes L’Air du Jardin Cache ~ new fragrance :: Now Smell This

Tauer Perfumes has launched L’Air du Jardin Caché, a new floral fragrance celebrating the brand’s 21st anniversary.

During these 21 years, hyacinth has played an important role for me. From early, humble experiments to the boldness of “Hyacinth and a Mechanic”, and now to the air of a hidden garden, hyacinth has always been there. I love this flower.

[…] When revisiting a floral perfume with hyacinth at its heart, I wanted to create something truly classical and wearable. Not a concept piece, but a beautiful perfume. Built in the spirit of the great days of classical French artistic perfumery, yet fully alive in the present. It is also highly concentrated, with 25% fragrance oil.
[…] L’Air du Jardin Caché opens with bergamot brightness and an aldehydic lift. At its heart is a clean hyacinth line. There is rose, soft and spicy, and completely unisex. There is greenness from geranium, and a clean, airy note from a violet flower accord. Violet is another favorite of mine. I remember vividly how, as a boy growing up in the Swiss countryside, I would walk to a nearby railway embankment, a south-facing place where every year I could find the earliest violets.
[…] And then there is the base, holding it all together. Cedarwood, sandalwood, ambroxan, benzoin, and soft woody musks form a calm woody amber foundation. Everything that I love is there, too. What matters most to me is the balance. The perfume is floral, but not decorative. Bright, but not thin. Calm, but not static.

Tauer Perfumes L’Air du Jardin Caché is $260 for 50 ml.
