‘For a long time, Andy Tauer believed that the geranium deserved its own perfume – a material that could breathe: leaf, blossom, herb, and powder, all present at once. The breakthrough came with a classic triad of green herbs, tonka bean, and vanilla: brightness on top, warmth underneath – and suddenly the geranium had the space it needed. It opened up, became more rounded, and retained its vibrant, green-floral character. That is the luxury of an independent perfume house: the final decision is made by a human nose, not a committee. The perfume bears the trace of a hand, a taste, a personal signature. Geranium Absolue opens bright and aromatic with bergamot and lemon, accompanied by dried herbs of coriander, rosemary, and a hint of lavender – a fresh, green opening of immediate elegance. The heart unfolds Bourbon geranium in several directions simultaneously: leafy green, floral, rosy, and gently powdered. The base brings the typical Tauer warmth of tonka bean and vanilla, cistus labdanum, oakmoss, soft woods, and musk – fresh on first contact, warmer in the heart, and polished on the finish.’ – Essenza Nobile
