The flowers of noon
Hey hey noses, I'm reporting today on the Noontide Petals fragrance from Tauer Perfumes, a brand that is probably best known for L'Air du Désert Marocain. So, today it's Noontide Petals,... a strange name, because translated it should mean something like noon blossoms. According to the descriptions, the scent should actually give the impression that you are in a dark room, and then you switch on the light, with which everything that is in the room suddenly becomes visible and you perceive the radiant light... of course,... I mean, you also switch on the light, of course everything becomes visible then... :D
Soo... but you know what? I like the thing with the light much better than the name of the fragrance, because the term "Petals" inevitably reminds me of my miserable flower knowledge and my laziness to finally do something about it, for example to know immediately without looking in Google what gardenias or geraniums are, or how freesias look like and something like that :D
Well, "someday" I'll probably learn it already, but as long as I say the typical: "I'll start tomorrow with it", ho ho ho. Anyway, I'm curious about the scent. I haven't had Tauer under my nose for a long time, so let's see how (hopefully great) this fragrance smells here!
A little later many top notes weaken, but the aldehydes remain almost unchanged and intense for quite a while. The roses become more intense and thus radiate a flowery and slightly acidic aura. Gradually the Ylang-Ylangs get stronger, too, but don't stay really heavy or even sultry yet, and I hope that this doesn't change much either.
Again later the aldehydes still remain well smellable, the roses weaken a bit, but now you can smell the tuberoses much better. In addition, the fragrance becomes much more resinous and thus warmer and gentler.
Many hours later the aldehydes become weaker, so that the resins come over even more intensively and you can smell the incense much better. In the base, the incense together with sandalwood, iris, a rest of flowers and of course vanilla simply smells beautiful, warm and soft.
Much later, however, the fragrance smells very intensely of incense, which some might find disturbing, as it then really only begins to smell of intense incense, which lasts a few hours before the incense weakens again and the fragrance becomes sweeter again. But all in all a beautiful fragrance.
Soo, so I really liked Noontide Petals. It is a beautiful, intensive and warm autumn and winter scent, which could be used both during the day (e.g. at noon, he he...) and in the evening for going out. It's actually unisex, but since you can see too much of flowers and sweet jasmine and tuberose, it's more feminine, but it doesn't become a purely feminine fragrance. The fragrance is very worth testing and should be sniffed at least once for testing.
The late base is, however, as said a little more violent because of the intense incense. That means, after four to six hours I found that the scent for a while then only had the scent of incense (before it became sweeter again afterwards), which also seemed a little exhausting to me every now and then (but which can also be due to the fact that we do not have autumn or winter at the moment). So if you want to test the scent, you have to keep it on your skin longer to "see" all facets of the scent!
Well, that's it again, then. I could actually have a look at some of the flowers and their names and looks... but somehow I've lost the desire to do it... I'll try it tomorrow... maybe! :D
I wish you a nice evening, then, until the next time :)

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with aldehydes and roses. You can also quickly smell powdery iris, gentle resinous scents such as incense, flowery and sweet jasmine and the first traces of ylang-ylang. A little later many top notes weaken, but the aldehydes remain almost unchanged and intense for quite a while. The roses become more intense and thus radiate a flowery and slightly acidic aura. Gradually the Ylang-Ylangs get stronger, too, but don't stay really heavy or even sultry yet, and I hope that this doesn't change much either.
Again later the aldehydes still remain well smellable, the roses weaken a bit, but now you can smell the tuberoses much better. In addition, the fragrance becomes much more resinous and thus warmer and gentler.
Many hours later the aldehydes become weaker, so that the resins come over even more intensively and you can smell the incense much better. In the base, the incense together with sandalwood, iris, a rest of flowers and of course vanilla simply smells beautiful, warm and soft.
Much later, however, the fragrance smells very intensely of incense, which some might find disturbing, as it then really only begins to smell of intense incense, which lasts a few hours before the incense weakens again and the fragrance becomes sweeter again. But all in all a beautiful fragrance.
The Sillage and the shelf life:
I think the Sillage is good, you are wrapped in a larger scent cloud, which others can smell pretty good without having to get very close. And the smell does not disturb from the proximity either, since the smell has generally turned out gently. The durability is very long failed, one can count here loosely on over twelve hours, I would assume even more! The bottle:
The pentagonal or star-shaped bottle is dark blue and has the tactile brand name on the front. The lid is black and made of wood. The label sticks on the left, upper side, is orange and indicates beside the smell name also the number of the smell. All in all, a very beautifully shaped bottle. Soo, so I really liked Noontide Petals. It is a beautiful, intensive and warm autumn and winter scent, which could be used both during the day (e.g. at noon, he he...) and in the evening for going out. It's actually unisex, but since you can see too much of flowers and sweet jasmine and tuberose, it's more feminine, but it doesn't become a purely feminine fragrance.
