Tauer Lonestar Memories Eau de Toilette

Lonestar Memories EDT: This isn't bad, the smoke and peppery spice is quite prominent. It's a dry musty kind of scent that is very evocative of a vintage pair of cowboy boots you might find in the op-shop. I know this would suit someone, but I am quite glad that I picked a sample because this isn't for me.

Fantastic smell!!!

The smoke of burning incense, not from our modern age, but of Byzantium and the East. A burst of birch tar then maquis herbs followed in an hour by vapours of incense, myrrh and dry spice that linger for ten or more hours. Hypnotic, mystical, and rich worn easily in extreme heat. Related to but more bold and dark than L’Air Du Desert Marocain.

Lonestar Memories is a phenomenal fragrance. It's not just extreme quality to match the pricetag; it's an awesomely crafted and balanced leather rich fragrance. Fragrance is the most subjective of the senses, but when first smelled this, I could hear Ecstasy of the Gold start playing the background. It smells like a campfire in the Arizonan desert with dust and horses' saddle leather to match. This might not be for everyone, but it's my favorite leather driven fragrance by far.
