Lonestar Memories by Tauer Perfumes

Migotka

After the first sniff I knew Lonestar Memories is no for me. But I just had to appreciate it; I love perfume that tell a story or create interesting imagery, even if they dont suit me.

Lonestar Memories for me is actually not a scent of Wild West. Somehow it makes me think of post-apocaliptic future. A desert? Yes, but spotted with strange machines. Emptiness, loneliness. A cowboy on a mechanical horse. An abandoned chappel. Scent of dust and sand. A little wodden in from time to time, run by an old guy who has seen it all.

It is interesting and unique, but much as I love the picture, the fragrance doesn't seem to go well with me overally.

The initial burst of barbecue spice and heavy wood smoke quickly mellows into a fantastic earthy accord that is smoothed by myrrh and sweetened with jasmine. For me it leans more to the masculine side - I love it on my husband but I wear it too when I want to feel that rich, strange warmth of campfires under desert skies. Tauer fragrances have a wonderful dreamlike quality - truly inspiring!

oh. my god! the opening's so unexpected. some strange associations: upon applying, i could almost mistake it for an oudh attar, and for some reason, 'leather' was my very first thought. in every way, we're in a dry, hot, dusty country, very far from civilization, the whiff of sage in the air. but then the day under the scorching sun turns into late afternoon by the campfire. the incense arrives to keep you company, and i get cedar, or better said fumes of smouldering wood. you don't quite expect jasmine in here, but it's very much present, smoothing the sharp smokey edges. the dry-down does get a little sweeter, with a noticeable sandalwood note, but the myrrh never allows it to become a bland, boring smell.
not your usual forever-lasting tauer scent, but a good lasting power for an EDT.
dirty. smoky. woody. leathery. scorching. cool & detached. perhaps shocking. and perhaps just very, very intriguing.

In the Great American West, there are areas where sagebrush extends to the horizon in all directions and one can get deep whiffs of dry dusty air scented by the all that sage. There are also Pinon trees that give a sweet pine/cedar scent especially when burning, its smoke a fragrant almost mystical scent. Unfortunately, I get very little of either in this fragrance. However, at first blast, this does come off as a good leather scent, something dirty and worn like a saddle glossy with wear. Clary sage is known to smell like leather when combined with the right ingredients and this is what I like best about Lonestar. However, before long this turns into more of a woody gourmand. In turns, Lonestar fades into something of a woody spicecake that is mediocre at best and while I do like LM, I'm not crazy for sweet drydowns. In the end, there's nothing really Western about this fragrance unless the cowboys are stopping by the cafe for a spiced latte after a long day in the saddle. Good for women and men alike and best worn in colder weather, this fragrance has typical Tauer longevity and sillage, which is great.

a bit too sweet for a man in the drydown. At least for my idea of a MAN.

After opening with a shower of piquant spice and smoke, Lonestar Memories settles into a soft floral underpinned with spices, leather, and fine, charred wood. An engaging and long-lasting scent, perfect for a man or a woman. Lovely!
