The story behind the bottle.
Cologne du Maghreb by Tauer Perfumes was launched in 2011 and is crafted by Andy Tauer. This composition begins with a vibrant citrus-aromatic accord featuring lemon and bergamot, which cuts through the air like the fresh breeze of a coastal morning. The heart notes of clary sage, rosemary, and lavender bring an herbal freshness that evokes the rugged terrain of North Africa. As it settles into its woody base of atlas cedar and vetiver, with touches of labdanum and amber, the fragrance transforms into a warm, enveloping embrace — a balance between the crispness of the outdoors and the comforting richness of the indoors.
Apply Cologne du Maghreb lightly — its citrus opening fades within an hour but leaves a lingering herbal warmth. The scent reads best close to skin, making it perfect for intimate settings or during cooler evenings.
