Today I am the lucky recipient of two Tauer Perfumes: Reverie au jardin and Orange Star. Birgit, from Olfactoria’s Travels, sent these samples all the way from Austria, just so I could smell some Tauer’s! She’s sweet!
I’ve been wanting to try Andy’s fragrances for a while, and have had my eye on the Discovery Set forever, but just never took that leap—you know, the one that requires credit card information. 😉 The set itself is a great deal. For about $32USD, you can select five fragrances (1.5mL each, with a few exceptions) which will then be shipped (at no extra cost) to you in a lovely little package… as seen here on the right.
I’m excited to try these new treasures! Now, I just need to decide which one is going to be first…

Right. That does it. Once I’ve recovered from Christmas, I’m ordering one of these sets. They are a very good deal. I’ll spend some time between now and then deciding what to pick. Like, you, I’ve been eyeing the Discovery Set for a while. Reverie au Jardin sounds perfect.
Reverie au Jardin is gorgeous—I think another L’Heure Bleue fan would appreciate it’s eccentricities!
After christmas… ah, I hear you. My “after Christmas” list is growing daily 🙂
I´m very curious about what you think. Especially Reverie au Jardin is a challenge for me. But psst, no influencing 😉
Birgit,
Based on the notes alone, I wasn’t hopeful for RaJ—that’s why I tried it first (to get it over with! 😉 ) As soon as it arrived yesterday I put it on and had no choice but to wear it as a sleep scent—so tenacious! Fortunately, I really *really* like it; it’s kind of an odd duck though, isn’t it?
I hope you’ll share more of your thoughts about it; I’m curious to see where our tastes overlap and where they diverge 🙂
