The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013 by Andy Tauer of Tauer Perfumes, 14 Noontide Petals is a floral aldehyde composition that captures the essence of sun-drenched petals. The fragrance opens with bright aldehydes and bergamot, creating an effervescent freshness that gives way to the heart of bourbon geranium, ylang-ylang, tuberose, rose, jasmine, and olibanum. These floral notes are grounded by a warm, woody base of iris, vanilla, vetiver, sandalwood, styrax, and patchouli. The result is a fragrance that balances the brightness of morning with the rich warmth of late afternoon.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The bright aldehyde opening is prominent initially but fades within an hour, allowing the floral heart to emerge more clearly. It pairs well with layering under a jacket or cardigan for added warmth.
