Pentachords Auburn Tauer Perfumes for women and men

Can you say TOBACCO! When in the right mood, this can be quite enjoyable as it allows you to relax and put you in a good mood. Unfortunately tobacco and smoking has too many negative connotations for me.. still, it's not bad at all. I'd not say this is unisex.. a bit more on the masculin side!
Also again, waaaay strong but at least this is a tolerable strong scent!
Interesting remark about ambroxan, I'm going to test 'Not a perfume' next and that 'not a perfume' fragrance is one of them, so will try to pay attention!

Tauer Perfumes Pentachord AUBURN has a vaguely comforting familiarity to it. My best guess is that this is primarily an ambroxan composition with a dusting of cinnamon on top. Not unpleasant at all, but AUBURN reminds me of the bases of lots of men's colognes--and it probably is very similar to some of them, given the minimalist idea being executed in these Pentachords.

For those who have been investing in Escentric Molecules MOLECULE 01 and 02 or Juliette Has a Gun NOT A PERFUME, this creation might work for you as well. There is nothing harsh or contentious about it. On the other hand, it's not very exciting either.

*yaaawn*
Such a lovely notes and such a disappointment.
Too much cinnamon, I think, and too little heart for the composition. It's nothing special. No fall at all.
Very dry and masculine, even on my sweetening every-dry-and-harsh-bastard skin.

OMG! I put it on about 2 hours ago and still going strong. What an amazing scent!
Definitely not for the faint-hearted and I wouldn't wear it to dinner because it would interfere with the food but I LOVE it.
Every time I catch a whiff it tells me a new olfactory story. Gorgeous!!

It is now 16 hours later and I am still getting whiffs of this amazing perfume, it is sexy and very animal but still sweet. YUMMY!!

Such a strange fragrance. Can't help liking it though as it strongly reminds me of my grandfather who used to smoke pipe tobacco so that the air was thick of smoke. The opening is not very pleasant to me: very sweet, fruity tobacco, but I love the dry-down, very authentic sweetish but dry tobacco smell :). I ordered the sample partly because of the cinnamon note which I can't smell at all, unfortunately :(.

So very strange. My experience testing "Pentachord: Auburn" is simply that it reminded me of washing coming out of a drier in a busy launderette. Perfectly pleasant but uncanny.

After a long time when I gave up on sampling Tauer perfumes which most of the time do not work for me all that well, I thought I would give Pentachords a chance.

Again, the experience is very interesting, but as for the enjoyment of wearing Auburn, I would not be so sure any more. This is THE scent if you are looking for a strong tobacco note. It is dominant from start to finish to the point when it starts itching your nose, there is a lot of smokiness which creates an impression that there is also a lot of incense included in the composition. Apart from this, on my skin there is not a lot more- some hints of wood and cinnamon, but not strong enough to pair with tobacco. It ends up being more masculine than unisex.

I sampled this today, along with the other two Pentachords in the series, and this was the least unpleasant, but it reminded me very much of CB I Hate Perfume's "Burning Leaves" with its fragrance of BBQ, but this was not as long lasting (only 2 hours on my skin). The tobacco note is very prominent here. As I already have the CBIHP BL I won't be buying this one. For a Tauer perfume it is not as exciting as his earliest creations. Thanks to Yamba1 for the sample.

I'm sampling this one today and it's a gorgeous fall fragrance. I don't get the cinnamon so much but the amber and sandalwood and tobacco are an outstanding mix as they dance about together as if in a tango! It's perfect for cooler weather and only gets better as it develops on my skin.

Do you remember the taste of grape soda, or the taste of artificial grape chewing gum? That flavor is exactly what this fragrance smells like. In the bottle, it smells interesting: a sweet alcohol, but once it kisses your skin, it's all over but the grape, baby. If you focus your nostrils you might detect a vetiver suffocating beneath the fake-grape cloud, but it quickly dies and all you're left with is grape, more grape, and in the end, grape.

I smell very clear the cinnamon and I feel also something that gives you a Christmas sensation. The tobacco makes me think about a spicy cigar or even a very aromatic pipe tobacco. At the same time I have the impression that I smell the vapour of hot wine, hot wine in which I usually put cinnamon and vanilla.
Very warm and dense - perfect for winter.
