Launched in 2010 by Tauer Perfumes, Andy Tauer crafted 09 Orange Star as an elegant blend of citrus and amber that speaks to both the freshness of dawn and the warmth of dusk. The fragrance opens with a vibrant mandarin orange and clementine, which cut through into a heart of orange blossom and lemongrass, balancing brightness with subtle floral notes. As it settles, the composition reveals tonka bean, vanilla, and ambergris, creating an earthy sweetness that feels both grounding and uplifting.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms gradually, so it's best applied liberally on pulse points. The citrus top notes will fade within an hour but give way to a rich base that lingers through the day. For optimal effect, let it settle for at least 20 minutes before heading out.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of a steam kettle in a cozy kitchen where the smell of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the sweet notes of baked pastries.
