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!

On my skin, Noontide Petals is a bright feminine scent with 8 hour longevity from 1 large dab or two small sprays. As mentioned in other reviews, it has a vintage feel due to the aldehydes. But in Tauer's creation, the aldehydes are a sparkling uplifting mechanism that results in the composition having a feeling of sunshine. The artistry is that the aldehydes do not make me feel like I've been attacked with a can of AquaNet hairspray, as the creations of the midcentury scents did. Smells divine and expensive (which it is). PS I don't get anything woody in this scent.

My new scent obsession: liquid sunshine. This is an almost effervescent sherbet lemon hovering over creamy ylang ylang. As it develops, other flowers emerge, but it keeps that bright, aldehydic sparkle. It reminds me of the happiest days of summer, where you're enjoying the bright light from an air-conditioned room with a cold fizzy drink and you haven't got a care in the world. Even better, this perfume lasts all day and never gets too soapy or sweet. It's close to perfection and it was pure serendipity that I decided to give it a try. Now I want a bottle!

I got a sample of this perfume from one of my friends and after smelling this i really regret that this is discontinued It smelling very nice and i think all of Tauer Perfumes is master piece This house really different from other houses to me I love it this little sample i just going to use it in very nice meeting in spring So nice

Imagine: it's spring and the sun is shining and you're drinking a gin tonic and everything it's perfect, no worries or troubles will get you! that's about it, and it's awesome!!

adore; wonderful like a sweet softer less incense Lonestar Memories with hint of floral; less harsh and powdery; warm and rich, creamy even

This really is all about the sparkly aldehydes! Powdery iris and sparkly citrusy aldehydes... For me the brightness of the aldehydes lingers a long time, far into the drydown, though ever fainter. The final drydown is a bit generic, a powdery woody vanilla. No patchouli on me... Over all I like this a lot, I love the iris, the aldehydes are bright and shining, the drydown is pleasant... but it just isn't my thing. It's beautiful and brings to mind a sunny summer wedding, lots of champagne, the bride's glittering gown and her bouquet of perfect flowers... But like that perfect wedding there is just too much sunny perfection in this scent... I suspect that the bride at this wedding is marrying for money and status and not for love... There is too much perfect image and too little intriguing depth.

80) Très joli en ouverture, un classique revisité. Beaucoup moins convainquant dans l'évolution, il y a une sorte de touche Tauer (de Tauerade?) qui revient trop souvent dans ces compositions(L'Air, les roses, les Penta...) et qui me gène énormément- un ambre(gris?) horriblement synthétique. Heureusement c'est plus léger ici, un aldéhydé très Channel sur un fond ambré-épicé identique à l'Air du désert. Unisexe, très agréable à porter, tenue et sillage normal.

This is a really pretty floral aldehyde with some sparkle. I think it would be a widely wearable fragrance, and for me the most wearable of the Tauer perfumes I've tried. I respect his work but most of it is too heavy for me so I like that he's provided something a little lighter too.

If a fragrance could sparkle like a fizzy drink, this would be it! Andy Tauer strikes again. Took a whiff of this and was blown away. It is a classic aldehyde fragrance and demonstrates what can be done with a bit of imagination. Sparkle, dazzle, zesty magic!

Too much old-lady type of smell in this one, to be fair though, my friends love this, because they think it smells like vintage scents.

This is different from what I would normally wear but I quite like it. A well-done floral-aldehydes composition. Inoffensive.

Love this type of aldehyde but I don't need this. Selling my bottle only sprayed 2ce.

Put simply, this unique composition is a spicy floral soda pop in a bottle.

My boyfriend thinks this smells straight up cardamom. I think I agree.

There's a song from Jesus Christ Superstar called "I Don't Know How to Love Him" and I feel that way about this perfume. Probably not the rest of the lyrics, but the title sums it up. I adore Tauer perfumes and I save them for weekends and occasions because I never want to sully them with the mundane, day to day trivialities of life. But this one? No. I just cannot do it. I return again and again to try to understand and like it even just a little bit, but every time I wear it I'm left confused. Aldehydes? No. Incense? Nada. Bergamot? Nothing. i just get an overwhelming old lady powder and iris concoction. But I don't have to love everything Andy does and there's so many of his creations that make my heart sing.
