I live in the US and my email is in my gravatar. Favorite Tauer is Rose Flash (everyone should try it! It’s a beautiful fun rose that’s complex enough to keep your interest). Favorite lemon is Dior Escale a Portofino. Good luck everyone!
U.S. resident here, and my favorite Tauer is most definitely L’Air du Desert Marocain, followed closely by Le Maroc Pour Elle. Tauer has created quite a few perfumes in the last few years that I haven’t managed to sample yet, though. I’ve always been impressed with his work.
Hi Robin, and thanks for doing this!
My favorite Tauer is L’air du Desert Marocain. And I have really enjoyed Andy’s soaps.
I am a US resident.
I am in the US. Love, love Tauer Au Coeur Du Desert. And I get so many compliments when wearing it. Definitely a winter scent, but could be interesting to try on a hot summer night.
I’m in the US, and big chunks of my heart belong to Andy’s Lonestar Memories, L’AdDM, and Au Coeur du Desért.
My favorite “lemony” perfume at the moment is Malle’s Eau de Magnolia.
This U.S. resident likes many Tauers, and Andy himself. He is accessible to his fans and has such enthusiasm for his work.
At the moment I am hoping that my tiny bottle of AT, his attar, never runs out. Great alone, or to noir or nuit-up another fragrance.
My lemon references are from the 70s. Love’s Lemon or the then version of Jean Nate. A 15 yr old on Santa Monica beach rocking her JN. Great memory!
Hello, thank you for the giveaway. I have a US address. I went with your advice and purchased Aqva Divina a month or so ago. I had it for about two weeks until the beautiful thing smashed to smithereens when I accidentally dropped it. I was too heartbroken to purchase it again so I bought Alien Eau De Toilette to replace it instead.
I live in the US, and my favorite Tauers are L’air du desert Marocain, Incense Flash, and Phi
I actively avoid lemon in perfume, usually, but love Tauers so will definitely be happy to give l’eau a try 
Thank you!
I’m in the US. LADDM is my favorite Tauer, and I’m dying to try Andy’s take on citrus. My collection doesn’t include much lemon (another reason why I’m excited for this giveaway!), but my favorite scent with a lemon note is Atelier Cologne Grand Neroli.
I live in the U.S.A.
You have permission to use my email address.
LADDM is my favorite Tauer.
Thanks, Robin!
I’m in the US and my favorite Tauers are ACdD, Zeta, and Sotto La Luna Gardenia. I quite like L’Eau and am happy to have been able to try a bit thanks to a generous NSTer. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m in the US and my fave Tauer hands down has to be Lonesome Rider.
I’m in the US and my favorite Tauers are LADDM, Rose Flash, and Une Rose Chypree. While it is both lemon and fig focused, my fave take on lemon (that I can recall right now) is Ninfeo Mio. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am a US resident, and have a number of his scents in rotation, at the moment I am wearing Cologne du Maghreb.
I live in the US and my favorite Tauer is Vetiver Dance. It’s a completely unique take on vetiver, which is in my top 3 perfume loves of all time (along with frankincense and jasmine).
It is hard to pick just one, but I would say Tauer Au Coeur Du Desert is my fave. mmmmmm. I live in the US.
One of my favorite takes on lemon are two grocery store finds: Zum Lavender Lemon and Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom. MLB is too skreetch for alot of connoisseurs, but both of these work for me as easy to keep in my dance or gym bag and serve as a refresher so that I don’t get too stinky. Cheap enough to bathe in, so it works for me.
I think my email addy is in my profile but that matters not. I really just wanted to comment and do not expect to win anything.
I live in the US and my favorite Tauer fragrance is Reverie au Jardin. Thank you!
I live in the US and my favorite Tauer of the few I have sampled is Une Rose Chyprée (with thanks to kpaint for the sample). I thought chypre fragrances were not for me, but this spicy rose showed me the light.
Many thank yous to Robin for the draw and for all of the fragrant fun at NST.
Ahhhh I want this. I live in the US! My favorite Tauer might be Incense Rosé, but I love many of his scents (LADDM! Lonesome Rider!). More importantly, I respect him both as a person and as a perfumer. I want all the Tauers.
Ooh, I’ve been dying to try this!
I’m in the US with a US mailing address and can be contacted through my SN.
I LOVE love love Tauer PHI. Desert Island perfume for me; in my top 3 winter perfumes (along with Shalimar Mexique and Coromandel,) and I’ve also discovered of late that it wears nicely in warmer weather, too.
I also love lemon fragrances and don’t have nearly enough in my collection. My first perfume obsession was Love’s Fresh Lemon.
I live in the US. I had the Tauer Tableau de Parfums Miriam. Was quite pretty. I’ve received a decant from a lovely NSTer of L’Eau, and this is the one fragrance that moved me. Hard to put into words actually. Thank you for the chance to enter ????
I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address. I love Tauer in general. My favorite, as is with many others, is LDDM. I also adore Lonestar Memories. I quite enjoy Tauerville’s Incense Flash as well.
I am in the US and you may use my profile email.
My favorite from the first whiff is L’air du desert Marocain.
I live in the U.S. L’air du desert Marocain always and forever!
Thank you Robin! I have not had a chance to try the Tauer line at all. I love citrus fragrances, and lemon in general. I only get to explore the “mainstream” brands due to budget and availability usually. I love a couple of the citrus Atelier scents. One lemon scent that tends to go unappreciated, to me, is the Chanel Allure Edition Blanche. Creamy but nice and lemony too.
I am in the U.S. and you can use my email address. Thanks!
Oo, I live in the US!
My favorite Tauer is Une Rose Chypree, though I have not kept up.
I have a US address and would love to win this bottle!! Huge Tauer fan girl. My favourite is Une Rose Vermeille.
I live in the U.S. My favorite Tauer would have to be L`Air du Desert Marocain. Last but not least i love the site & actually check it daily to make sure i’m abreast on all things fragrance wise
I live in the US. My favorite lemon scent is Eau d’Hadrien. I haven’t tried anything from Tauer yet.
I live in the United States. My favorite lemon perfume is Alien Sunessence Legere. Thank you for the contest.
I live in the U.S., and I like a lot of Tauer perfumes. I’d say my favorites are either Incense Rose or L’air du Desert Marocain.
I live in the USA and you may use my e-mail address. My favorite Tauer perfume is Lonesome Rider. My favorite perfume with lemon in it is Jicky. Thanks for hosting the contest!
Yes, I am in the US! My favorite Tauer fragrance is the only one I own, Rose Flash, and I’m eager to try more. Please do use my email address, lol. Right now my favorite summer fragrance with lemon is Jo Loves’ White Rose and Lemon Leaves. So pretty.
Lovely giveaway! I live in the US, and my favorite Tauer is Pentachord White (RIP!)
I live in the US…my favorite Tauer is PHI and my current favorite lemons are Assam of India and “Minions” cologne. Thank you for the draw, Robin!
I do live in the U.S. and my favorite Tauer is Une Rose de Kandahar. Thank you for the giveaway :).
I live in the US and you can use my email. I haven’t been wearing any summer lemon fragrances but have been enjoying a sample of Hermes eau des mervilles which has shot to the top of my need/want list. Thanks for the draw!
US here! The only Tauer I’ve had the chance to try is L’Air du Desert Marocaine, which I absolutely love.
No lemons in my collection, but since I live in Southern California I really, really should remedy that.
Greeting-
I live in the USA and absolutely love Tauer 08 Une Rose Chypre!
It does not smell like champagne but is what I like to call a champagne scent due to it perceived sparkling quality.
Hi Robin! Thanks for yet another giveaway opportunity! You are so generous! I live in the U.S. and you can definitely use my email info.
My favorite Tauer fragrance right now is the Rose Delight body oil that I have. It’s actually strong enough to stand alone, and I really like that!
I live in the US and my favorite Tauers so far are Lonesome Rider and Au Coeur du Desert! I love the lemon I get from the opening of Shalimar Light, but admittedly I do not have a lot of stuff with lemon. Would love to change that! You may use my email!
I live in the US and I am a big fan of Andy Tauer – I pretty much have every Rose he made – the fav of ours is PHI, followed by Rose Vermiele, and Incense Rose, lonesome rider, Au Courtney de Desert, L’Air Du Desert Marocain. I don’t really lave much lemon in my collection.
You may use my email
I live in the US and my favorite Tauer is probably Incense Rose.
I’m in the US and you may use my email address. My current favorite lemon (so, this summer) is Shalimar edc. Thanks, Robin!
I live in the US . My favorite lemon scent is MFK Aqua Universalis Forte . I haven’t tried any Tauer scents . Would love to win this ! Thank you for the contest .
My favorite Tauer is likely L’Air du Desert Marocain, following close behind are Carrilion Pour Un Ange and incense extreme. Can’t think of a lemon scent offhand, but a lemon in a Corona beer smells great and is quite refreshing. I’m in the US and thanks so much for the draw. It’s a great one as it seems to be a Eau de Cologne kind a summer.
I’m in the US. I’ve not had the chance to try any of Tauer’s scents but have wanted to. My favorite lemon scent would probably be Eau d Hadrien, so nice for warm weather. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
I live in the US and my favorite might be phi une rose de kandahar. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
I live in the US – thanks for the opportunity to win. My fav Tauer: Rose Flash!
Hi Robin,
I live in the US!
My favorite Tauer is Une Rose Chypree, thanks for the opportunity and you have my permission to use my email. Thanks
I live in the US and my favorite Tauer is the instant classic, L`Air du Desert Marocain. So far my favorite lemon perfume is Pacifica’s Malibu Lemon Blossom.
Thanks for the drawing!
I’m in the US and I’d reach for “vintage” Uomo” Moschino if I wanted a lemony scent that is suitable for warm but not scorching summer days.
I live in the U.S. My favorite Tauer is Fruitchouli Flash. Thank you for the giveaway!
I live in the US. I’m a fan of Andy Tauer and currently have PHI and Une Rose Chypree in rotation. Thanks for the draw!
Ooh, I would love a chance to win! Thank you for the giveaway Robin!! I live in the US and you may email me.
I have only tried two Tauers’: LADDM and it’s little sister Au Coeur. I think they are both beautiful, but if forced to pick I would have to go with LADDM.
I live in the US. I have never had the chance to try any Tauer fragrances but one of my nostalgia summer lemon scents has got to be CK One. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
I love both Amber and Incense Flash but there are several I’ve yet to try. I am in the US and appreciate the chance to win this!
The only lemon scents I own are Love’s Fresh Lemon and C.O. Bigelow Lemon Orange Blossom. Both are just easy, cheap thrills for the summer. Neither comes anywhere to a “favorite” category, though…clearly I need this.
I live is the U.S. and you can contact me as often as you like if it’s to give me perfume.
I live in the US and you have permission to use my email address here.
This question made me realize I don’t wear lemon perfumes that often, but a while ago I very much liked Nanshe by BPAL, which was a potent lemon + lavender mix. (I think this is a sign I need to buy a lemon perfume.)
Hi guys,
Thanks for the giveaway.
I have US addressin Florida.
I’d love some of Tauer offerings such as vetiver dance, Au Coeur du Désert, incense rose, n rose flash.
Hopefully I can win this n try it sounds perfect for summer.
Thanks again,
I live in the US! And does my Chanel Allure Blanche count as a summer lemon?! Either way, it’s my fav citrus in my collection. I’m going to need a new bottle soon! Hehe! Thanks for the chance, and good luck everyone! ^_^
I live in the US. I love Cedrat Enivrant in the summer. Thank you for the chance to win!
This US resident loves LADDM, both for its own lovely sake and because it started me down the perfume rabbit hole. Love Rose Flash and Lone star Memories, too.
Hi, I live in the US but not sure if I have a favorite summer fragrance except maybe some cheap thrills Gardenia from Bath and Body Works. Thanks for the draw!
I love so many Tauer creations. I have a full size of LADDM and a discovery set with five others. I’ve been wearing a lot of Orange Star lately. I live in the US and you may use my email address. Thanks Robin!
I live in the USA, you may use my address etc…
I have only smelled Tauer scents at perfume house in Portland once. I liked one http had a desert in the title I think. I have enjoyed reading the advent calendar thing on the Tauer website one xmas.
I can provide a U.S. mailing address. My favourite Tauer is probably still the old classic, L’Air du Desert Marocain. But I also bought a bottle of Tuberose Sotto la Luna last summer in Zürich that is maybe coming in second now (I’m something of a Tauer junkie…have a few FB of his…also just got two soaps and Amber Flush oil for my birthday and am coveting the room spray, since I see it’s about to go up in price). My favourite citrus right now is Parfums de Nicolaï L’Eau a la Folie, though I suppose that’s not a straight-up citrus.
I brought a sample of L’eau with me on vacation and it’s a wonderful lemon and warm musk that’s not too clean; it reminds me of my favorite Tauer, Zeta. I am in the US.
Thanks for this giveaway! I live in Canada, but my sister (Wisconsin) is happy to be my perfume mule. I’d love to try this since I really have only had fleeting encounters with Tauer scents at the lovely Perfume House in Portland on road trips (is a road trip the best time to smell things on oneself? Probably not, but it is nice for the memories.) I love summer citrus scents and am currently dabbing the classic 4711 over a base of Eau Sauvage for a double-dose of neroli to keep cool as it is very hot outside today…
I live in the US and my favorite Tauer is probably Incense Rose, but there’s stiff competition from Lonestar Memories, Zeta, and Un Rose Chypree.
oh yay thanks for another giveaway – I am in the US and you can use my email address – my favorite summer lemon so far is CK Summer 2006, I thought it was a very real and juicy lemon
Hi Robin, thank you for doing the giveaway!
I’m in the US, (hooray for grad school) and:
a) have yet to try a Tauer fragrance. They’re on my list, and I know I can get a sample on Luckyscent, but I’ve been avoiding trying fragrances I’ll want a full bottle of and everything from Tauer sounds fantastic.
b) Cedrat Enivrant!!! It’s basically my summer default now (as evidenced by the SotD threads, but that’s okay because I love it). JM’s Lime Basil & Mandarin is also pretty, but doesn’t have much staying power.
I live in the US, my Meyer lemon tree outside still has a few blossoms, which is a point of reference for my current favorite lemon scent, Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom. The perfume starts out sharper and more citrusy than my garden blossoms, then it settles into something that I think is called “salty,” whatever that means, I don’t know. What I smell reminds me of California coastal gardens with a faint, rosy whiff of swimming pool. It makes me happy.
I live in the USA and I would say Bleu de Chanel is my favorite cologne with lemon notes.
I can give a US address
My favourite Tauer must remain Carillon pour un ange, though Une Rose Chypree is a close second (and easier to wear). My next to-buy will probably be Sotto La Luna Gardenia – why do I have to love all the most expensive Tauers?!
I can give a US address too. The only FB Tauers I own are Ingrid and Sotto la Luna Gardenia but I have a feeling that when it gets a proper outing later this year, Au Coeur du Desert will leapfrog them. As for lemons, too many to mention! O de Lancome, Mary Greenwell Lemon, Wit, Bergamote 22…
I live in the US. I haven’t tried many Tauers but enjoyed PHI Rose de Kandahar. Cedrat Enivrant is lovely in summer.
Thanks for another giveaway
I live in the US. Never had the opportunity to sample any Tauer fragrance, can you believe it?
I love Shaal Nur during the summer, as well as Eau du Sud and Eau de Guerlain.
As always, thanks for the giveaways!
Ooooh yum, please enter me. I live in the US.
Favorite Tauer was Une Rose Vermeille.
Several favorite lemons: Carthusia Mediterraneo, Chanel Allure Edition Blanche, IPDF Limone di Sicilia.
Thanks!
I can provide a US mailing address. My favorite Tauer fragrance is L’Air du Desert Marocain
I’m in the U.S. and Vanilla Flash is probably my favorite.
I’m in the US. I like a lot of Andy’s creations. I love the way he utilizes rose. I have decants of Loretta and Une Rose Vermeille and a rollerball of Rose Flash. I always receive compliments when I wear them.
How generous! Thank you, Robin. I live in the US. My favorite lemon perfume is Profumum Roma Acqua Viva
Thanks for the contest! I’m in the US. I unfortunately have not tried any of Andy’s works yet. I would say my favorite summertime fragrance is Guerlain Jicky.
Ooh, I love lemon, and I’ve been hoping to try L’Eau every since I first read about it! I live in the U.S., and my favorite Tauer is either PHI or Une Rose Vermeille. Oh! And Vanilla Flash, and Rose Delight! (Jeez, Tauer’s great!) My current favorite summer lemon is 4160 Tuesdays Sunshine and Pancakes. Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you for the giveaway, Robin! I live in the US, and you have permission to use my email.
My favorite Tauer, so far, is Lonesome Rider.
I live in the US and my favorite summer lemon is something I picked up at an estate sale that has no name on it other than Haarman & Reimer, a basic Lemon Cologne Lemon Cologne Lemon Cologne. I found I preferred it to 4711 and now it lives in the fridge.
I live in the US. The only Tauer I’ve ever tried is L’ Air; therefore it is my favorite. I actually finally bought a full bottle of it, after all these years.
I live in the US. My favorite Tauer is Une Rose Chypree. Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US. My favorite lemony (not lemon) fragrance is 4711 Acqua Colonia Melissa & Verbena. It’s so hard to find a lemon scent that doesn’t remind me of a cleaning product.
Thank you for giveaway Robin! I am in US and my favorite Tauer is LADDM.
OH Robin! You know I am a Tauer fan, so please fate pick me!!!
I love lots of Andy’s work, but the top three are Reverie au Jardin, Incense Rose, and Rose Flash–which I am wearing at the moment. I love lemon from my early days in Love’s Fresh Lemon to my current fave, Yves Rocher Riviera Riviera.
Yes, I live in the USA and you can send this prize directly to ME!!!!!
Thanks for the opportunity. I live in the US, barely: a two-hour drives gets me to the Canadian border. I like lots of Tauers. Perhaps the favorite is Une Rose Chyprée. Today I’m wearing Orange Star.
I live in the US and my favorite summer lemon scent is Eau Dynamisante by Clarins. Thank you so much for the giveaway! : )
I live in the Pacific NW ,
My current favorite Tauer is PHi Un Rose de Kandahar , closely followed by Incense Flash.
I don’t have a current favorite lemon , I have very fond memories of Love’s Fresh Lemon. I also enjoyed Lily Pulitzer Squeeze.
Hi. I love so many of Tauer’s fragrances, but L’Air du Desert Marocain is my idea of magnificent. I will always have a spot on my dresser for it. As for lemon fragrances, there’s a vintage one (Love’s Fresh Lemon) and a current one (Mary Greenwell) that I really like. Recently, I was on a perfume pilgrimage in London, and I visited the studio of Sarah McCartney, the perfumer behind 4160 Tuesdays. She gave me a tiny sample of the now-discontinued Mary Greenwell Lemon, and I’ll always be grateful to her for that. She also has begun making a new scent that combines lemon and coffee — it’s like an Italian espresso in a bottle! I live in the middle we sat of the United States, and wish that there were more good places to shop for perfume in my little town.
I live in the US. My favorite is a toss up between Lonestar Memories and LADDM.
My favourite is Tauer is L’air du Desert Marocain.
My favourite lemon fragrance is 4711 Acqua Colonia Lemon & Ginger.
I live in the US.
Favorite Tauer is Incense Extreme (but it can be difficult to pull off.)
