The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022 by Tauer Perfumes and crafted by Andy Tauer, Golestan is a complex Oriental Floral fragrance that balances bright citrus with rich floral and woody notes. The composition opens with lemon zest and bergamot, which cut through the sweet warmth of ylang-ylang and tuberose. As it evolves, orange blossom and jasmine bring a delicate floral bouquet, while ambergris and vanilla add an animalic depth that rounds out the scent into something both familiar and mysterious.
Apply Golestan lightly — its bright citrus top notes are fleeting but impactful. The woody and amber base develops slowly over several hours, so it's best to let it evolve naturally rather than layering on more fragrance. Ideal for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves gracefully through the night.
