I’ve not been this smitten with a scent since I was in my teens and first discovered fragrances. I love perfume. I read endless writing about perfume. I buy bottle after bottle of perfume. But Les Annees 26 by Andy Tauer, which I bought at Tigerlily in San Francisco, has changed me. It’s unlike anything I’ve come across before—or possibly ever will. Starts of with a citrus blast, a benzoin thread weaved throughout, and a semi-sweet woody dry down that I can only assume is what heaven’s lobby smells like.
My only regret is buying one bottle. I need another. And maybe another. After all, it’s a limited edition.

Sour incense.
It’s sour, citrusy, bit woody, and max incense. The colder it goes, the more woody, more rosy it become & the nutmeg comes up slowly.
It’s Tauer’s but his stamp is barely there. I believe this is a new woody sour incense blend which worth the limited edition quality. Nice.

An absolutely stunning fragrance just like all my other Tauer perfumes. It is a blast of citrus and ginger. I love the comfortable smoky feel. I definitely smell the rose and ylang-ylang in the background. As the day goes on the more I smell it. I get many compliments when I wear this.

Please do not buy this fragrance under any circumstances whatsoever! I need to save up enough money to buy the entire World supply. I was feeling very low indeed and I had a sample of this and put it on and angels came down in the most luxurious and divine cloud and made me feel marvellous. If a fragrance can do this then it is very special. This is however a less than special fragrance review. My interests are entirely selfish…

This is strong, suffocatingly powdery, and lasts for ages–I could still smell it on my wrist a couple days later, even after showering. I don’t get the other notes people mention because the powder is so assaultive. But I love other Tauer fragrances and highly recommend ordering their 5-vial discovery set tin from Switzerland–I’d just skip this one.

The opening is a bright, juicy orange pierced with a beautiful, energetic ginger that has so much effervescence, it almost smells carbonated! Definitely a fizzy, orangey-ginger blast. A minute or so in, the iris comes along and throws a heavy baby powder blanket over everything. All I can smell is chalky, orange baby aspirin for several minutes. At this stage of the development I struggle to find anything pleasant as it’s just far too powdery. But hang on, it does get better! After what seems like ages, actually within half an hour or so, I pick up a beautiful woody/spice accord. This is where the magic happens. A melange of spices join forces with woods, resins, and dried flowers to create a warm, exotic Oriental with the “far away” feel of memories. There is a bit of dark melancholy to the drydown that is quite a stark contrast to that juicy, vibrant opening. It’s quite lovely to my nose. Even though I could really do without the iris baby powder bit, the overall fragrance is multi-faceted, nuanced, and above all, inviting and wearable. There’s a rough-hewn, artisanal quality to this fragrance that keeps me coming back to it.

My first impression was that A25 was inert, sweet, and banal. Half an hour later I can’t decide if I’m in a candy store or a shoe repair shop, and I don’t want to leave either. The sweet citrus and camphoraceous elements seem to fight for dominance until you realize they are singing a bizarre harmony and doing it perfectly.

I blind bought a bottle and this review is on first wearing: in the bottle and on a test strip it has the typical, wonderful Tauer DNA with the creamy smokey base and some florals; upon application to the skin, on me it is a bit plastic in the top with some citrus then in the middle is some nutmeg, spice and tonka, then the drydown is a very very dry leather. When I finally reached the final base, it was tonka, nutmeg, iris and some sweetness though not like a ylang. Nothing heavyhanded. Smooth and creamy. Would swear there’s sandalwood here. There is nothing vintage about this as some have said. It smells like a cured/tanned hide through the middle. The leather of sniffing a new purse or wallet. I love Tauer. He’s my fave indie/niche house. But, I must say, this isn’t equal some of my faves like LDDM or Lonestar Memories. It lacks the power and projection. If Au Coeur is LDDM times two plus Lonestar Memories and more leather added, this is like LDDM divided by two. It is a weaker, softer, version as if you took a strong old Tauer and diluted it. I like it but it’s not a love at the top of the house for me.

This perfume has many layers and I love it:) It has a vintage feeling. Like old furniture and old roses. It is like the scent when you open an old cupboard and find dried flowers from many years back.

Oh this is a surprising fragrance. The more I wear it the more layers I discover. Certainly it’s a lot of citrus and ginger on a thick bed of sweet powdery notes, but there is a large chandelier of spices hanging right over the whole assemblage. I do get the flowers listed, but they seemed relevant only the first time I wore this fragrance. Now they give a roundness and a slightly vintagy vibe, but are not under the spot light… I’m quite sensitive to powdery notes and probably not the biggest fan as they turn dusty on my skin…but here it all works great and the scent is fresh with and edge and this edge has a tiny fine embroidery… Peculiar indeed. Seems like an interesting eclectic person. Like someone with manners from the past, but rocking a modern minimalist look.
I feel that if you fancy the notes it is a safe blind purchase. It’s not going to smell like you think it’s going to smell, but you will end up loving it anyway.
Great for Spring and Summer….I might have wished for a bigger silage. Longevity is very good and it lasted all day, but it doesn’t project a lot. I’m spoiled with LdDM that comes to me all day long. This is not necessary a bad thing thou.
I get tons of compliments and this is definitely a flattering fragrance.
