Tauer Orange Star Eau de Parfum

Orange Star: I appreciate that Tauer dared to dream this thing up and he should be commended for his efforts. It smells like artisan soap made with roasted spiced oranges only you left them in the oven too long and they got a little too toasty. To put it another way, this is not a citrus cologne, it's a citrus incense. It contains a scent profile that could not possibly stray further from mainstream and toes the line somewhere between god-awful and divine. Is that what makes Andy Tauer a genius? I am rating it with a single orange star because it seems appropriate.

Every so often a fragrance comes along that when you spray it in the regular manner, well, it's just too much. Way too much, unpleasantly so. When I first tried Orange Star 09, I sprayed each forearm with 2 full sprays and repulsed by what appeared to be some type of dry, bitter, cleaning liquid. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed with my blind buy.
The next day, I remembered that some fragrances need to be 'misted on', which is to say, one spray from about half a meter away, letting gravity gently carry it down to my forearm.
I tried that, and WOW, now it was a totally different fragrance. A delicious and unique orange-centric masterpiece!
In this instance, I guess the old adage of 'less is more', really is true...

A vibrant, rich citrusy scent that is unlike any other clean citrus scents I have experienced in the past due to its depth, texture and longevity. Andy Tauer is a master of transforming the basics into a master pieces and this one is a perfect example. You cannot let summer go by without wearing this fragrance on every hot summer day.

Stunning frangrance. Absolutely adore it. If you love citrus, then this is one to definitely look at purchasing.

A lovely refreshing and substantial fragrance. A sparkling orange with a hint of richness. Good for brisk and warm days. Thank you Liam for your recommendation!
