Back in 2005, a chemist turned self-taughtperfumer, very certainly unknowingly, releasedwhat would become a masterpiece of niche perfumery. That fragrancewas L’Air du Dsert Marocain; the perfumer was, of course, Andy Tauer. A blast of arid woods and dry spices, with the coriander taking the lead, made for an immediately recognizable, unforgettable scent.

Alittle over a decade later, Andy decided to create an homage to hismagnum opus by creating an extrait versionthat takes the spicy, woody heart and pulls it to the fore. It is enhanced in strength, with a moody darkness. Au Coeur du Dsert is the arid land as the sun has set,the air still warm, the sky an inky black, studded with stars.
