Is this draw for US residents only?
My favorite Tauer is Sotto La Luna and my favorite rose is Jardins d’Armide
I am in the US. My favorite rose scents are Different Company Tea Rose, LeLabo Rose 31 and Neela Vermiere Mohur.
Oops. The Perfumer’s Workshop Tea Rose! Ha!
Oh! Hello, sailor. My favorite rose and Tauer are one and the same: Une Rose Chypree.
My favorite Tauer is L’air du Desert Marocain. Not only for it’s beautiful, dry self, but because it was my gateway drug to perfume.
My favorite rose? Probably his Incense Rose.
Permission to use my email address (should I be so lucky!) granted. 🙂
My favorite Tauer perfume is a tie between Une Rose Chypree and L’air du Desert Marocain. I absolutely adore Amouage Lyric for women and can’t get enough of it.
My favorite Tauer is Zeta. My favorite rose perfume is Shiseido White Rose.
My favourite Tauer is Rêverie au jardin, I love that complex lavender scent. And my fave Rose fragrance is Taïf by Ormonde Jayne.
My favorite Tauer is Zeta – it’s great in the spring. My favorite rose, I think, is Lyric. Or maybe SL Fille de Berlin. Thanks for the draw!
Eeee, want! My favorite Tauer is URC with Incense Rose a close second.
My favourite Tauer is Le Maroc with a tie between URC and Lonestar for the second place.
My favourite rose is Paris YSL.
Reverie au Jardin is my fave but would really like to try a gourmand rose..rose is a note I am liking more lately and this one sounds very good
I live in the U.S., if it matters.
I’ve never tried any Tauer fragrances, so if I win this will be the first one. Rose is a difficult note for me, but I do have some frags that have it.
Thanks for the opportunity, as always! 🙂
My favorite Tauer is probably Zeta though I have not fully explored the line. Exciting! I love this concept.
My favourite Tauer is L’air du Desert Marocain. (although Phi comes a close second).
My favourite rose… tough question as I love roses!…. is Nahema.
I do not have a favorite yet. I did get to smell a few at Perfume house in Portland. The one that smells like asphalt is an eye opener!
I only own one rose scent, Bond West Side which is comforting and sweet, thanks to generous NSTer Janice. 🙂
My other favorite, Marni, is on my To Buy list!
My favourite Tauer is Incense Extreme. I also love Sotto la Luna Gardenia!
Hopefully this is for EU peeps as well?? I’m in France. I love Tauer fragrances – and to be honest it’s too hard to pick a favourite as these tend to change, at the moment it would be Lonestar Memories and I love Une Rose Vermeille – it’s a really happy sunny rose. I can’t believe he sold out so quickly either! Thanks for the opportunity.
I love L Air du Desert Marocain
My favorite rose perfume is SL Rose de Nuit, with Stella a close second. I have only tried three Tauer fragrances, but of those, I liked Loretta the best. Hoping to love Sotto La Luna Gardenia! Thanks for the draw!
Hi Robin! Thanks for yet another opportunity to get a fabulous scent. I live in the U.S. My favorite rose scents are Aerin Lauder’s Evening Rose (sultry and sophistacated) and Jo Malone’s Red Roses (lovely scent). I don’t own a lot of rose fragrances, but I am trying to wear more. 🙂
Favorite rose is Voleur de Rose. Don’t have a favorite Tauer yet.
I live in the USA. You can use my email. My favorite Tauer is Le Maroc pour Elle, which will soon need replacing. My favorite rose is OJ Ta’if (and then Guerlain Nahema). A girl can never have enough roses!
I am not in the U. S., but in case people from other countries are allowed…
My favorite rose fragrances are Sa Majeste la Rose by SL and Un Zest de Rose by Parfums de Rosine.
I’m currently in the USA. My favourite Tauers are Maroc pour Elle (Thanks, AnnS!) and Orange Star (actually, ditto, I think!), which I wish I had more than samples of…
My favourite rose is Theo Fennell Scent, and sometimes Le Labo Rose 31.
I have only recently learned to like a rose.
Oh my. I fell hard for Carillon Pour Un Ange; I find it to be incredibly sexy, mostly by not trying to be what passes for sexy in most perfumery! And I’m planning to take a sniff of his new gardenia scent later today. Rose Flash was up and gone before I could do anything about it – I would love a chance to try it!
Thanks for the draw, Robin! I’ve fallen a bit behind on Andy’s lovely perfumes so of the ones I’ve tried so far, Une Rose Chypree is still my favorite followed closely by Orange Star. My favorite rose changes quite frequently, but at the moment it’s either ELDO Rossy de Palma or L’Arte di Gucci edp.
I would love to try this! My favorite rose is Malle’s Une Rose, but I just recently ordered some Tauer samples and think I will enjoy them more once it cools off here.
I think my favorite rose is currently Fille de Berlin and my favorite Tauer is L’Air du Desert Marocain. I haven’t smelled any of the Tauer roses though and would love the opportunity. Thanks so much for the generous draw!
I can’t afford Tauer prices, and I’m not a huge rose fan. Probably my two favorite roses are from Demeter – Pruning Shears, which has an interesting edge to it, and Flower Show, which I used to think was almost a match to Tea Rose, but which I now think is more interesting.
Not in the USA, so ignore my comment if country restriction applies: my favorite Tauer is Le Maroc Pour Elle 🙂
My favorite rose scent is Mille et Une Roses (but perhaps it ties with Calligraphy rose…)
My favorite Tauer is Une Rose Chypree and my fave rose fragrance in general is probably Joy, though I guess that’s a rose/jasmine.
I’m still a fledgling when it comes to perfume so I’ve not tried a Tauer perfume before, but it’s been on my radar for a while. As far as rose scents go, I really like L’ombre Dans L’eau and Rose Anonym.
Perfume n00b, so I don’t have a favorite Tauer, but I think this would be a great introduction!
Long time lurker, first time posting. Haven’t found a rose I like yet, unless Saffran Troublant counts. The only Tauer(s) I’ve tried are Orange Star (too soapy on me) and L’Air du Desert Marocain. I’m in the US and would love to try this.
I am in the US, and of course you may use my email.
I think my favorite Tauer might be Vetiver Dance, and my favorite rose is Rossy de Palma.
Hello, I live in the US and you may certainly use my email.
my favorite rose to date would have to be Ralph Lauren Glamourous. I admit, when I tried it my inital reaction was ‘flowered dish soap’ now after further trial I fell into a deep seductive love for it. Fully developed it smells on my skin like the thickest most sexual rose ever.
Estee Lauder Knowing is a close second. Thank you for the giveaway!
My favorite Tauer is Phi Une Rose de Kandahar. I have been on a rose kick recently, wearing Lyric, and Mohur, and would love to get a bit of Rose Flash! Ian in the US and you can definitely use my email. Thanks for the fabulous draw!
If it’s international (EU) I’d love a chance to win as I love roses and have yet to try a Tauer fragrance.
Roses are a bit tricky as I prefer the real thing in the garden, but I do find myself drawn to rose perfumes. I like one my sis have, think it’s Jo Malone’s Red Roses. Among the rose fragrances (samples) I have myself at the moment, I prefer Jo Malone’s Rose Water & Vanilla and Les Parfums de Rosine’s Une Rose Au Bord De La Mer.
My Tauer favorite fragrance is L’Air du Desert Marocain, You have permission to use the email address in my reader account to contact me.
If this isn’t for US only, please enter me too!
My favorite Tauer is Une Rose Chypree, as well, and I’d love to get a chance to try this one out.
I live in the US. My favorite rose fragrance is a pure rose oil by Jurlique.
Thank you for the opportunity!
I’ve gone quite mad for Tauer’s new Sotto la Luna Gardenia so probably shouldn’t sniff his new rose, but what the hey, please put me in the draw, I’m in the US. Thanks!
I should maybe get it by default, since I’ve never even sniffed a Tauer. (I know, world’s smallest violin…). Rose is one of my favorite notes, and my current favorite rose perfume is the sadly discontinued Yves Rocher Rose Absolue.
PHI and…PHI!
Thanks for this great giveaway, Robin.
My favorite Tauer is L’air du désert marocain. It was my first Tauer and the one I keep coming back to.
My favorite rose is harder: I love Rose Barbare, but I think it wears me rather than vice versa. So I think it might be CBIHP Tea/Rose. Not pure rose but pretty incredible.
I love so many of Andy Tauer’s perfumes but I am really taken with his latest Sotto la Luna Gardenia. I think my favorite rose perfume is a toss between Andy’s Un Rose Chypre and Amouage Lyric Woman.
WANT.
Favorite Tauer? probably tie between Une Rose Chypree and Carillon pour une Ange.
Favorite rose? A curse on you for making me choose, but okay: Parfums de Rosine Rose d’Ete. No, L’Arte di Gucci. No, Olympic Orchids Ballets Rouges. No, DSH Rose Vert. No, BK Rose Oud. No, Lyric Woman. No, YSL Paris… (somebody, please, cut me off now!!)
Love rose scents. My favorites are Stella and Commes de Garçon Red Rose. Would be so happy to try a Tauer rose scent.
I so love Orange Star from Tauer perfumes and think that it doesn’t nearly get the love that it should. I’m still looking for the perfect rose fragrance. Tea Rose from the Perfumer’s Workshop is beautiful but I’m looking for a composition, not so much a single-note. I live in the United States, thank you!
My favorite Tauer is L’Air du Desert Marocain. I am in the US and you may use my email.
Thank you!
I’m not in the US, but my favourite Tauer is Reverie au Jardin. Thanks!
I live in the U.S. Favorite Tauer is Une Rose Chypree. Thanks for the giveaway. I would love to try this!
Favorite Tauer from my Discovery Set is Carillon Pour Un Ange. I would really like to try the Rose Flash!
L’Air du Desert Marocain is my favorite Tauer perfume. Right now I am sniffing Sotto La Luna and I think I am really liking that one, too. I am in the US.
If the draw is opened for residents outside of US, I would love to part in it. My favourite so far is Zeta! 🙂
Both my favourite Tauer & my favourite rose perfume is Une Rose Chypree.
My favorite Tauer’s perfume is Une Rose Vermeille (with L’Air du desert marocain close second).
I am in the US and you can use my email address to contact me. 🙂 My favorite Tauer is Incense Extreme and my favorite rose is his PHI Une Rose de Kandahar.
My favorite Tauer is L’Air du Désert Marocain and my favorite rose is Sideris.
You have permission to use my e-mail address to contact me.
Thanks!
I live in the U.S.A. and you have permission to use my email address.
My favourite Tauer is L’air du Desert Marocain. My favourite rose is Amouage Lyric Woman.
Thanks for the draw, Robin !! ;D
Favourite rose would be FM Une Rose and then OJ Taif
I live in the UK and you can use my email address to contact me
Thank you for the givaway : )
Andy himself is my favorite Tauer. Such a great guy! I wear his Lair du Desert Marocain, which is a good complement to the AZ desert.
I steered clear of rose for a long time. I think the key for me is to not like one , but many. Lush Rose Jam is, well, lush. I like Le Labo Rose 31, and Un Fille De Berlin will be back in rotation as it cools off. I would love to try this new one from Andy! Thanks for the draw.
My favorite Tauer is L’air du desert marocain, and I was soooo excited to see this drawing 🙂 I haven’t tried any of his roses yet! Thank you for the draw.
It would be amazing to try this as it is sold in US and EU only, and I am in Canada.
Up until 6 months ago, I steadfastly ignored roses, having convinced myself that I disliked the. I did come to my senses, and I am currently in love with Mohur and in lust with Vero Profumos’ Rozy.
My Tauer experiences have been universally successful. I think I would have to call Lonestar Memories my favourite, although L`Air du Desert Marocain or Maroc Pour Elle would fight for the privilege.
My favorite rose scents aren’t perfumes, but body products: the Korres Japanase Rose lotion and shower gel, and the Caudalie Divine body oil. I haven’t found the right rose perfume yet – maybe this will be it!
Favorite Tauer and favorite rose in one perfect fragrance: Incense Rosé. I’d be delighted to get to try this rose as well. Thanks for the draw!
Oh! This one is exciting. 🙂 My favorite roses are SL Rose de Nuit and La Fille de Berlin, and L’Artisan’s Voleur de Roses. I love me some roses. My favorite Tauer is L’Air du Desert Marocain. I’m in the US and you can contact me through my profile email. Thanks for the draw!
My favorite Tauer is L’air du Desert Marocain, followed closely by Le Maroc Pour Elle. I love the smell of roses, but I haven’t yet found a perfect rose scent. Of the ones I’ve tried, I’ve really liked Rossy de Palma from Etat Libre d’Orange, as well as Lutens Sa Majeste la Rose. Keiko Mecheri Gourmandises is also a really pretty, jammy rose. I used to have some of Tauer’s Une Rose Chypree, but I swapped it – too much of the “Red Hots” note for me.
I’m on the fence for rose scents, one rose scent I liked was Rosine’s Un Zeste de Rose, but I think I liked it mostly for the citrus.
My favorite Tauer fragrance is LADDM (and Lonestar Memories for my partner–yum! 🙂 Thanks very much for the draw!
I’m in the US…and I love Miriam!
My favorite Tauer perfume is PHI Une Rose de Kandahar.
Nummy! My favorite rose is Amouage Homage, but I’ve been wearing a lot of Florabotanica recently. *hangs head in shame*
I haven’t yet sampled anything by Tauer, but my favorite rose fragrance right now is Tom Ford Private Blend Café Rose.
If Canada’s included, please enter me into the draw.
I have little experience with the Tauer range, but I really enjoy my bottle of Cologne du Maghreb and appreciate what he shares on his blog.
As for roses, that classic combo of rose and patch works for me, currently in Cannabis Rose from Fresh.
Fave Tauer is L’air du Desert Maracain (sp?) and my fave Rose is Imogen Rose by Lush.
My favorite Tauer perfume is Le Maroc Pour Elle.
My favorite Tauer is
1. Tauer PHI Une Rose de Kandahar
My favorite rose fragrance is:
Creed Windsor or By Kilian Criminal of Love!
Thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite rose is Perfumer’s Workshop Tea Rose which I use very sparingly on clothes and linens. For me it is very fresh used that way. I don’t wear it on skin very often because it becomes too sweet unless I layer it with something.
I have been loving Cologne du Maghreb all summer, despite its fleeting nature in the heat, but my favorite Tauer so far is LʻAir du Desert Marocain–spicy yumminess <3
Iʻm a sucker for a good rose fragrance; my favorite is Sonoma Scent Studio Rose Volupte. Now that Fall has arrived, itʻs time to bring her out of the perfume chest!
Iʻm in the US. Thanks for the draw!
Ooh, I hope this is the lucky entry!
Of the three Tauers I own, I probably wear zeta the most, but since mr. Spicebomb gave me Rose de Kandahar, I should say that’s my fave!
And yes in the US.
oh, how I’d love to try this..
My best-loved Tauer is Une Rose Chyphre
thanks a lot, Robin
I really enjoyed the smidge of Rose de Kandahar I was able to get my hands on. I’d love to sample this too.
I haven’t tried any Tauer fragrance. Serge Lutens’ La Fille de Berlin and Sa Majeste la Rose are the rose fragrances I have tried and found I love though my preferences lean more towards La Fille de Berlin.
My favourite Tauer is Une Rose Vermeille, but my favourite rose is Lyric (w) by Amouage. Thanks for the generous giveaway, I hope it is open for international participants who don’t have the chance to try this otherwise.
I am a huge Tauer fan, and I think my favorite is Incense Rosé. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to try Une Rose de Kandahar, but I bet I’d love that one, too.
Lonestar Memories is probably my favorite, which I ironically I don’t own. Instead I own (and also love) L’Air du Desert Marocain and Pentachord Auburn.
Hard to choose a favorite! I love LDDM and Miriam. Dark Passage is extraordinary, just out of this world. Andy is fantastic!
L’Air du Desert Marocain is my favorite Tauer. L’Artisan’s Voleur des Roses is one of my favorite rose scents. I like the more recent Rose Cut by Ann Gerard, too.
I don’t have a favorite Andy Tauer yet. As for a favorite rose, Jour d’Hermes has some rose, right? I’ve found a few rose perfumes I like, but so far the only thing I’d buy a FB of is Amouage Lyric Woman.
Hello. My favorite Tauer is Miriam. Favorite rose is Eau de Protection Rossy de Palma by ELdO.
I’m in Spain. I have never tried any Tauer perfume so I think this would be a nice chance.
Hoping Canadians can play 🙂
I’ve only smelled two, and Incense Rose is my favourite of the two – love a good incense/rose. (Need to spend more time with the other, Pentachords Verdant.)
I entered the world of perfume obsession with a preconceived notion of rose (aka: NO!) but I’ve done a complete 180 after seeing everything it can do 🙂
My favourite Tauer is easily Une Rose Chyprée but my favourite rose is actually Nahéma. <3
My favourite rose is usually the one I happen to be wearing at the time, If I happen to be wearing rose, but if I had to choose it would be ELdO Rossy de Palma, which means business.
L’Air du Desert Marocain is for sure my fav. I yet need to get to smell some others.
From UK, and thank you!
I love Un Rose Chypree and I want to try this one! Thanks for the opportunity:)
Thanks for the draw ! my favorite rose is Theorema by Fendi. have a nice weekend !
My answer to both favorite rose and favorite Tauer is the same! Une Rose de Kandehar. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
You know, I don’t think I have a favorite Tauer yet. My favorite rose fragrance is probably Rose de Nuit by SL (even though I’m going off of a sample that I tried a year and a half ago, and haven’t smelled it since, but so amazing!) Also up there are Oud Ispahan, Une Rose, Roses Vanille…
My favorite roses include L’Ombre Dans l’Eau, Mohur, and Rose Cut. Thanks for the draw!
hi Robin–thanks for the draw. I was not quick enough to get my order in for Rose Flash, so I hope I am lucky here. I live in the USA and you can use my address. I am a big Andy lover, especially Incense Rose and Reverie au Jardin, but my favorite rose is still Malle’s Une Rose (which was also my first fb from Paris).
Thanks for the giveaway! My favourite Tauer is L’Air du Désert Marocain, and my favourite rose is Putain des Palaces. This one sounds lovely. I’m in Spain and you’re free to use me email.
My favourite Tauer perfume is Lonestar Memories
My favourite Tauer is Le Maroc Pour Elle. And Une Rose Vermeille.
My favourite rose is… probably Paul Smith’s Rose. But I do like a lot of them, I’m a rose fan, so it would be great to get this 🙂
Favourite Tauer fragrance is Incense rosé. It’s probably favourite rose as well.
Thanks!
This is so exciting! I wanted to order one but they sold out so soon.
My favorite rose is Tea Rose. It’s so simple that I can handle it on any given day, but not boring.
Thank you for the giveway! I am in the EU, and I hope I am eligible.
My favorite Tauer so far is Orange Star. But LADM is pretty close. Actually, it’s difficult for me to decide, but Orange Star is a perfume I would wear anywhere, anytime, while L’Air du Desert Marrocain is a picky one.
I’m so disappointed these sold out so quickly! I love what Andy does with roses–my current favorite is Incense Rosé. Please enter me in the draw. This is one I’d love to own!
I love L’Air du Desert Marocain most of all. I would love to try this!
I’m in Canada and I would love to try something from Andy Tauer. Is this actually open to non-US residents though? I noticed the Palimpsest giveaway did not include the usual US only condition either.
I really like PHI from Andy Tauer. I live in the US. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favourite Tauer is Zeta, my favourite perfume of all time is Mata Hari by DSH. I am in the UK.
would love to have this!
My favourite Tauer is Orange Star..sunshine in a bottle
And Thank you for the draw
I’ve never tried any Tauer’s, but L’Air du Désert Marocain intrigues me and is on my list to try. With my love of spice in the fall, my current favorite rose scent is Yves Rocher’s Rose Absolue, with its lovely lingering cinnamon note. Thank you!
I live in the US and my favorite Tauer is the deliciously weird Orange Star. Thanks for the draw.
My favorite rose perfume now is Drop of Rose by DKNY.
I’ve never smelled any Tauer scents, but I am loving Rose Anonyme these days.
Lurker coming out! Thanks for the generous giveaway, Robin, please count me in if it’s not US only.
I’m still behind on my Tauer explorations, so this would be a great place to start. My most loved rose, at least for now, is SL La Fille de Berlin.
Like most people, my favorite Andy Tauer is L’Air du Desert Marocain – and I’m dying to try Lonestar Memories. My favorite rose is Joy because I don’t wear rose well (though I love it on others), but I wear jasmine excellently!
Hi Robin, and thanks for the give-away! L’Air du Desert Marocain is my favorite Tauer, and I don’t think I could pick only one favorite rose. My favorites at the moment are OJ Ta’if, Xerjoff Damarose, and Parfum d’Empire Eau Suave.
A lover of many perfumes so choosing two of any kind is a conundrum, but my favorite Tauer is Eau d’Epices Eau de Parfum, my rose scent S-Perfume 100% Love!!
I love Tauer’s Loretta.
Unfortunately most rose perfumes don’t agree with me so it’s always exciting when I find one that works.
I dont have many rose scents, most are damplers but my favorite so far is Stella. Its just a soft, comfy pleasure to wear for me. Im in the US and you can use my email address to contact me. Thanks!
My favorite Tauer ( so far) is a toss up between Un Rose Chypre and Incense Rose. Un Rose Vermielle is quite nice too ,if a bit sweet. My favorite rose depends on my mood sometimes I want a spicy one ,or a dark one or a light one or ( can you tell I love roses? )…..
Thanks for the drawing!
My favourite Tauer is Lonestar Memories, as it smells, I imagine, like a Clint Eastwood character would after stepping out of the shower after rescuing horses from a burning stable.
My favourite rose will always be the perfume my grandmother had on her dresser when I was little. It was nothing really special, but it came in a red glass rose shaped bottle with a gold stem cap. Classic tea rose is my grandmother.
I only tried two of Tauer’s perfumes: Phi and Zeta. Although I find Phi interesting, Zeta is definitely my favourite (planning on purchasing a full bottle as soon as I can justify it!).
I’m going to order a sample set from them in the near future, as there are quite a few others I’d like to try.
My favorite Tauer is still LADDM (though I also love Lonestar Memories and Cologne du Maghreb).
Use my address! I’m in the USA & I am currently wearing a lot of Tauers take on Vetiver that I sprayed on in a a store today. What a lovely dry down! A favorite rose is Portrait of a Lady.
Yippie! Thanks for the draw!
I love L´Air du Desert Marocain. Thank you very much for this opportunity!
Hi! Thank you for the giveaway, Robin. My favorite rose is Rose 31, but admittedly there are so very many roses I have not tried.
I would love to try this! My favorite rose is Ormonde Jayne Ta’if, especially the extrait but all forms are good!
