Reminds me a lot of laundry fabric softener, clean, soft & pleasant

Pleasant scent like almost all of Andy Tauer’s. A lemon fragrance with a good dose of floral notes. But nothing fantastic as they were “L’Air du Desert Marocain” or “Lonestar Memories”. I expect another masterpiece and this is not.

Nice scent, Reminds of Eight and Bob but better

This fragrance is remarkable! Highly underrated imo. Its multidimensional. Kind of flowery, but mainly oranges over a superdry woody base, it has this feeling of dryness similar to the feeling and smell that you get in a sauna. Very pleasant, easy to wear. Perfect if you want a citrus/freshie suitable for colder weather.
I just love this.

Sleep Water!
Chamomile with water lemon, musk, slight ambergris, and worm weather! Like summery.
It reminds me allot of a “Jelly Bean” by Baby Bench Colonia, very light like a baby clonia-baby powder mix.
At last there is something interesting by Tauer after his hit “L`Air du Desert Marocain”, as after that hit he just kept on doing variations of it and name it with different names. He just couldn’t get away from it, but now at last something new.

Love, love and love. This is wonderful and something that is easily a signature scent. I have had a few from this guy and I think he keeps getting better and better as he goes.

As a couple other people have also said, I get no citrus from this at all. Just a little bit of the lemon blossom – none of the fruit – at all. From reviews I saw, I was expecting a citrusy scent for the summer heat..but this is actually almost gourmandish to me. It is a very buttery and slightly salty iris. I can see why the reviewer below got popcorn. After I read that, it reminds me more specifically of a popcorn flavored jellybean we have here. It’s not bad, but not what I was expecting I guess, and not for me. Slightly on the feminine side too, in my opinion

I ordered a sample of a different Tauer fragrance online and they kindly included a sample of L’Eau as well. That was very nice, thanks, Tauer!
Unfortunately, I can’t stand it. Have you ever made popcorn in a plastic air popper? There’s a smell from the very hot plastic and almost popping popcorn that smells so much like this (with some sharp iris/citrus combination that smells like cheap baby powder was tossed in). Granted, I really dislike cool iris scents, so take this with a grain of salt.

Tauer Perfumes L’Eau has received a lot of critical acclaim online, and certainly makes a bit of an impression upon first application. It answers the question (not that I was asking) of what citrus mixed with iris smells like.
It’s a very citrus-heavy opening, apparently a mix of lemon, bergamot, and orange: I definitely get the orange the least, as it’s fresh, but more toward the tart side of the lemon and bergamot. Mixed in with the iris, though, the blend is especially sharp, but dries down more comfortably into a mix of musk and sandalwood. Even in the dry down, though, it’s still sharp, the citrus (slightly) and iris (noteworthily) still present.
Overall, it’s a nice addition to the Tauer line, a robust freshie with well above average lasting power for a scent with its note breakdown, and a solid unisex summer day option. It walks the line between sophisticated and freewheeling.
I’m not sure I’ll run out to buy this one, but maybe pursue a split in the meantime. Certainly this is one that merits trying, like so many of Andy Tauer’s offerings.

Sweet and edible, like musky lemon cakes on me.
шаходата – :
I’m going to have to agree with esteban747. This is a musky amber with the signature smoke that Tauer is known for. It’s a nice combination. The drydown gives me a similar vibe to Gaultier 2, where there is an uknown animalistic note added to the amber and musk. I’m not sure how people are getting anything citrus out of this because I don’t smell any such notes. It’s a nice fragrance but I don’t think I’d pay top dollar for it.
vladimir51v51 – :
I get lots of ambergris. And right upfront.
It has that musky-clean scent but also a raw/animal vibe.
The slightly powdery flowers emerge later and still the ambergris prevail.
Sorry but I don’t smell any citrus notes.
To my nose this is s ambergris musk fragrance.
To sum it up, it has the quality of most musk perfumes, it mimics a skin scent, in this case a summer, bronzed and still warm tanned skin.

I have sampled many, many citrus fragrances over the years. Often I see reviews that liken a scent to bathroom cleaner, but this is the first time I have actually felt that way myself. On first sniff I had an instant throwback to the elementary girls’ lavatory. The hype for this one is not justified.

This is the Tauerade base with his version of Shalimar. Think Tauerade instead of Guerlinade. It’s similar to Noontide Petals meets Shalimar; citrus, vanillic, creamy floral.

I imagined a perfume for the summer of lemon scent, but this was different. The smell of lemon’s soap turns into a smell of skin that the child wants to hug. I’d like to know what color this perfume is like because it is transparent and a bit warm. Personally I think that Noontide petals is more L’eau. His perfume is always fun.
1996acer – :
Nothing I’ve smelled from Tauer has been a literal rendition of something found in nature, but most have an abstract atmospheric quality that capture a mood or fantasy, and L’Eau is no different (although I do think I expected a departure with something called “L’Eau”.)
It’s identifiably citrus, but neither zesty, nor juicy. The atmosphere is sitting on an old wooden porch overlooking an uncultivated yard on a late summer’s eve. A waft of dried lemon blossoms, the dusty haze of old wood and drying wildflowers and grass.
In smell, it does remind me a little of lemon or orange PEZ candies. More dusty/chalky than powdery- if that’s any distinction. It also reminds me a bit of Tauer’s discontinued ZETA, which was based on linden. There’s definitely Tauerade in there. There’s something mellow and comforting about it and it has some heft, but it’s not heavy. I’d wear it on a late summer evening or a warmer Spring day, but I suspect a little too sweet for me for very hot days. It took me a couple of wears to appreciate it, partly because I was expecting something more mainstream citrus cologne. I think if you go in without expectations, you can probably appreciate it more.

Lemons! I’ve seldom sniffed an EDP that makes me think of pure lemon oil, so redolent of the ‘real deal’, as this, but Andy has pulled it off, and with such originality, too. This is no light, ephemeral citrus frag, but one with the trademark ‘body’ and heft that I recognize in so many of his creations. Excellent silage, extreme longevity, and unisex, in my opinion. This is a brilliant addition to his collection. FB worthy. You’ve done it again, Andy, congratulations!
Dr.SoaD – :
I would never have thought to test this out, based on the “clear” description that Andy Tauer gives this scent. Words like “Clean” & “Fresh” tend to make me think of men’s scents that are all citrus and “aqua”.. yuck. I run from these because it ends up smelling like some crazy scientist with no nose concocting what he thinks “fresh air” smells like.
I should have known that Andy would not do that! I just sprayed this tester on my arm, and It is hard to describe. The top notes are bright and somewhat citrusy sweet (lemontree blossoms?) and I can actually detect the lime in there, which surprises me. But the musky base and ambergris must be what I am detecting at the very very bottom of this. On the inhale, its all tree blossom, but boy, just as you hit the end and start to exhale, you are washed in a lovely deep, resinous, sweet cream buttery (?) base. I am terrible at describing notes. Sorry. Someone else will have to step up. Timber and sandalwood? sure! I can detect them here. I can tell you that I really, really like this, and am surprised by my reaction to what I would not normally gravitate towards (scent description wise). This is Andy Tauer’s brilliance. In combining the scents into a lovely rolling entourage experience . His signature stamp is in here, along with everything else Andy creates. I don’t know WHAT it is, but I can be blindfolded and tested on 100 bottles of perfume from various designers and houses, and I’d be able to pick out all the Tauers. That is not a bad thing. I think this leans towards the masculine if you consider citrus to be masculine, but really, it is dead center to my nose. I think that heavenly base is what does it. (it’s all about the base for me!!) Either sex can wear it and if you like a good uni, this is one for you.
