14 Noontide Petals

This is a fresh sparkly take on a classic aldehyde perfume , as for example chanel 22, a powdery, soapy, clean burst of aldehydes with sparkling top notes of lemon and fizzzz. Its elegant and classy but has a modern twist and a Tauer signature so to speak. The warm woody sandalwood comes through after a few minutes and this fragrance starts to bloom into a warm powdery balsamic wonder. Like Sun rays making its way through a forest , or like Christainne said , a fizzy carbonated drink with a squeeze of lemon in it. Another thing that comes to mind is ; Traubenzucker English translation would be GRAPESUGAR . I had these white Traubenzucker brick candies when I grew up in Europe , we where given them when mountain climbing in Austria and Switzerland. I loved them and I can't find them here in Canada , its a natural type of glucose sugar with grape juice or from grape juice , its powdery and orangey citrus tasting . Also there are those fizzy vitamin C tablets . You put them in water which creates a fizz and adds vitamins to the water. Also the water smells like noontide. The tablets are like a GRAPESUGAR bricks. ,,,,,, Its fresh yet warm its sparkling yet powdery its creamy sandalwood and iris , it fills all my needs !!!

This is a fascinating scent. I can't even tell if I like it or not, but I keep going back to my tester because it's so unique. (I definitely don't dislike it!) I am not typically a fan of tuberose, so this perfume throws me for a bit of a loop, but like all other Tauer scents I've smelled, it tells a wonderful story. It starts with a burst of sparkling aldehydes, very clean and bright. Like you've just gotten out of the shower - a little soapy from the tuberose, but awakened and refreshed by the aldehydes and bergamot. As it develops, the aldehydes gradually go away and the tuberose and ylang-ylang turn into a cozy blanket that hovers around you delicately, but with intent. I imagine drying off after aforementioned shower, putting on some creamy lotion, and sitting down in a huge, comfy chair and reading a good book while the sun shines in through the window. This scent is invigorating yet calming. A wonderful mixture of unique feelings, and one that simply must be experienced. EDIT: I have completely fallen in love with this scent. It has become my ultimate comfort scent and I just purchased a full bottle. It is truly lovely.

Oh my, such a fizzy, wondrous, floral delight! It is like carbonated perfume....so much bubbly aldehydes I am surprised it doesn't spew when you spray it! The most effervescent fragrance I have ever smelled. The dry down is absolutely heavenly...still fizzy but a more gentle version compared to the larger than life opening. I am sniffing myself so much my nose is probably going to end up smushed. Has the signature Tauerade in the base....and while very different from the other Tauer creations, there is no mistaking this is Tauer. Noontide Petals is so lively and delightful, it is impossible not to smile while wearing it. I think if worn regularly, it could reduce caffeine usage and even cure depression. :) Happiness in a bottle! One of my favorite fragrances of all time. Noontide Petals is pure heavenly bliss!

This fragrance sings of summer: to me, it's the delicate scented air in a field of flowers and sweet hay. From start to finish, this fragrance delights with the allusions to the warmth of the sun and the softness of the air. Many mention the abundance of aldehydes creating a bright sparkle at the opening, but on my skin the sparkle seems muted, and the bergamot briskness is most obvious to my nose. That soon gives way to the soft florals, well blended, creating a pretty tapestry of scent that continues throughout the development. Soft warm dry down. I think this is gorgeous. Very long lasting for an EDT (8-9 hours) and moderate silage. Perfect fragrance for creating memories. Thanks, Andy Tauer!

A fizzing, popping, powdered rose incense. I adore this fragrance! Tauer strikes again with his innovative approach to ingredients - making incense bubble is nothing short of magic. And letting styrax, rose and patchouli dance softly around the smoky cauldron gives my nose the impression that this is nothing short of a modern masterpiece, a beautiful redirection of classic aldehyde usage. Nothing stuffy or close here, this perfumes buzzes, breathes and moves. I don't get a lot of the references I see in other reviews here, sorry, to me this smells like a very modern witch's brew of sweet living magic. Delightful!
