Tauer Perfumes Reverie au jardin, Adidas Pure Lightness ~ new fragrances

Posted by Robin on 28 March 2007 15 Comments

Tauer Reverie au jardin perfumeTauer Perfumes will launch a new fragrance, Rêverie au jardin, next month:

The head notes are very green and fresh- lavender (high altitude mountain lavender from France, galbanum and fir balm with bergamot and rose absolute from Bulgaria softening the herbaceous lavender. They lead over to a musky, fresh heart note (frankincense from India and ambrette seeds) with a woody and flowery orris line. The body note is the most complex part of the scent, being a soft, and airy wood accord (vetiver, tonka beans, oakmoss). Hints of vanilla and ambergris, sandalwood and cedar wood play into a balsamic tone that seems to last for ever.

Rêverie au jardin is an Eau de Parfum, and will be in 50 ml. (via tauerperfumes)

Also coming next month, Adidas will launch Pure Lightness, a new fragrance for women. The notes include melon, apple, aquatic notes, jasmine, magnolia, violet, lily of the valley, peach, apricot and musk. Look for it in 30 and 50 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching body products. (via cosmoty.de)

    Can't wait to get my sample of RdJ. You know I'm not the world's biggest fan of lavender, but I think I'm going to love it!

    BTW, did you get round to trying one of the men's Chanels? ;-)

    Hugs

    I am not the biggest fan of lavender either, but looking forward to trying it…all the other notes sound great, and there are a few lavender scents I do like.

    And yes, I did, and the Egoiste especially is lovely (once the lavender calms, LOL) — I tried Egoiste Platinum on a card only, so have to get a sample of that to do a real comparison. Antaeus I did NOT like, Chanel Pour Monsieur is nice but it seemed like a lesser Eau Sauvage so I don't love it. Thanks so much again for sending them!

    My pleasure and thank *you* for all those wonderful L'Artisans (Timbuktu, Navegar and Aedes Room Spray are FBW and I'm not sure there was a single one that I didn't at least like).

    I kind of sensed Antaeus would not appeal to you ;-) You're right about CPM in that it bears resemblance to ES, which is easier to wear because it has a more modern, fresher and earthier feel. And I've learned to love the hefty lavender open of Egoiste, but it did take me a while :-)

    The dry down of Egoiste is worth the wait, and perhaps the opening will grow on me too! But it is a kind of odd scent, and I have a hard time picturing it making a killing in the US — so now I can understand why it is so difficult to find here.

    Reverie au Jardin is lovely and trully worth the test. I fell in love and I am not a fan of lavender either, usually. It's a modern Jicky with a very nice warmth.

    Thanks, I have not yet had a chance to try my sample. I do like Jicky!

    Gasp! Antaeus is probably the finest chanel mens fragrance (egoiste is too sweet and allure is pretty forgettable)

    Egoiste is pretty sweet — it struck me as more unisex than masculine. But I didn't mean that Antaeus was a bad scent, only that it isn't to my taste. I haven't tried the Allure, but didn't like the women's so if they are anything alike, I wouldn't like the men's either.

    I agree, Allure homme and femme are both pretty non-descript, although they do make good office scents.

    Chanels mens offerings are pretty average (I am not a big fan of Chanel PM), but it seems their priorities are with the womens line. Ofcourse some classics like Cuir De Russie and Bois Des Iles can be considered unisex.

    Would have to agree that they have not done anything as spectacular in the men's line as they have in the women's — and yes, a man could absolutely wear CdR or BdI.

    Thankfully this blog exists, and I can share my newfound passion for Andy Tauer with the rest of Perfumista-land. I find myself wanting to shout it from the roof tops. Does Andy infuse his scents with untraceable, addictive narcotics d’you know?! I have drained my L’Air du Desert sample and am about to finish Reverie. Don’t even get me started on his incense frags, they were drained days ago………Reverie has been the sleeper hit for me, though. It doesn’t make me think of a ‘Jardin’, but rather of a forest of pinetrees blanketed in white mist, ferns and moss – in NARNIA!!!! It has an electrical, fuzzy, furry depth to it that is perhaps the oakmoss/fir balm? And the herbaceous lavender is a revelation. Far less prim and ‘Regency Era’ than the lavender I have been used to.
    I know, I’m wanging on about this now………but Tauer has joined Ormonde Jayne in being the only lines whose majority of output I could happily own, to the exclision of all else. Apart from my Tabac Blond. And my Bulgari Black. And my Bandit. And………..OK, maybe not!

      It’s so wonderful to find a line you adore in this way, isn’t it? So, will Reverie be your first purchase?

        Hello Robin! I think this will be my first purchase, yes. It’s a toss-up between this and L’Air du Desert. I reckon this one will satisfy me for now, and I’ve got plenty of time to buy the other one! I’d quite like to purchase a few more OJ’s too, but will wait until the line of smaller travel sizes is released.
        The benefit of being enamoured with these newer, smaller independent lines, is that because their output is less prolific than the bigger Houses, there is less chance of scents being discontinued or significantly reformulated. Everytime I feel myself neurotically obsessing about the new bottles I want to own, I gently remind myself that I have the rest of my life to purchase and enjoy them!

          That’s a good point…I don’t think Tauer will reformulate w/o telling people, that’s for sure.
