The absolutely lovely, generous, sweet, talented Andy Tauer, in conjunction with Franco at Luckyscent wants one of you to have a bottle of his newest perfume creation, Orange Star. Just one of you, don’t hyperventilate yet.
Let’s go to the marketing materials:
A rich citrus fragrance with a clean orange flower in its heart. The natural essential oils of clementine and red mandarine render the fragrance all fresh and natural, and add to the unique vitality of the head notes. The citrus notes give room to lemongrass essential oil: With its unique hesperidic earthiness it bridges to the heart of the fragrance. There, a clean orange flower chord is central, with a hint of translucent violet flowers that support the vibrant and elegant heart notes. The base of the fragrance mirrors the vibrancy and clean lightness of the heart. The body of the fragrance is centered on elegant ambergris, with a hint of soft woods. It plays with a fine vanilla line, a hint of patchouli and is enriched with a drop of a natural resin from cistus, known as Ambreine.
This is one of those days when I’m super-irritated that we can’t get images to upload (BTW, we are going to switch hosts since they can’t/won’t fix this for us) because the picture of the new bottle design is so gorgeous. Cobalt blue, angular, really fetching. I’m loving the change. Any Tauer fragrance is worth sniffing, but this sounds so great, especially heading into spring/summer. I don’t have any to sniff yet (cries!!!), but you know as soon as I do, y’all will hear about it.
The official launch for Orange Star is at Luckyscent Scent Bar in Los Angeles on April 17 from 1-4 p.m. If you are anywhere near this, just go. Any event at the Scent Bar is worth going to, and I’m still waiting to meet Andy one day, so you’ll have my envy for that as well.
Samples and pre-orders for bottles will begin sometime before May 1, 2010 at Luckyscent.
Now, how do we pick a winner? Normally we just do a random number generator and then count down comments to find that number. I’ll do the same thing this time, but tell me about your favorite Tauer or if you’ve been so unlucky not to have tried one yet. Seriously, I am so jealous that one of you is going to win a full bottle of this!
Hi friends, its great paragraph concerning educationand entirely explained, keep it up all
the time.
My husband LOVES L’air with a passion. I adore Rose Chypree. That’s a listing of two faves right there! Still experimenting — Vetiver Dance is gorgeous, Lonestar will be next!
I genuinely appreciate this excellent post that you have written. I can promise you that this information would be useful to umpteen others.
My absolute favorite is Orris!!! I love this perfume. Would reallly love to be entered in the draw!!!
I would love to be included in the drawing!
It’s superhard to pick my favorite Tauer creation, so I’ll pick what I’m currently obsessed with: Reverie du Jardin. It’s so amazingly blended and smells divinely Spring-like.
My fav. is Lonestar Memories. Please enter me in the drawing.
Thanks!
P.S. I would love to be entered in the draw! 🙂
The only one I’ve smelled is Lonestar Memories. It makes me think of my dad, who likes to think he is a cowboy, and loves Lois L’amour books on tape. Lonestar Memories smells like a Lois L’amour book to me.
I haven’t tried any of his fragrances yet. Orange Star sounds amazing.
All of Andy Tauer scents are wonderful. My favorie is L’air Marocain.
I love everything Andy does. :d And he’s one of the nicest noses in the biz. Please enter me if this is still running.

I love Un Rose Chyrpee and Incense Rose, would happily wear any of Andy’s creations! I got the sample pack and will soon need to buy a bottle…but which one??
Please enter me if it’s not too late.
So much fun, I got to meet Andy Tauer at the Scent Bar in LA on Saturday. He is a very sweet guy. Got my sample of Orange Star and bought a sweet bottle of Molecule 1 while I was there. I was in love with myself for the rest of the day and night…:)
I have tried samples of most of the fantastic Mr Tauers’ scents…un rose Chyrpee, le maroc, incense rose, lonestar memories. But I am on my second bottle of L’air du desert marocain. It is by far my favorite and never fails to bring compliments. This is a lovely warm winter scent, but I like it even better in summer! I will always have a bottle on hand.
L’air du desert Marocain
I’m one of the unlucky ones who hasn’t tried any fragranges by Tauer, but I’d like to try this one!
Le Maroc! Or maybe L’air du desert… oh I don’t know they’re both so good. I’m dying to try Orange star!
Vetiver Dance is my favorite so far. I’ve been dying to try Reverie au Jardin and Rose Chypree.
Andy’s generosity strikes again. Please enter me. I hope he has a fabulous launch today in LA!
I’d like to be included in the draw. I haven’t tried any of A.T. perfumes, but from the notes and based on the sound of the name I think I’d like most The Lonestar Memories.
My favorite Tauer is Vetiver Dance. I would love to try Orange Star, orange is one of my favorite scents in the world. rosiegreen
My favorie is L’air Marocain – I’ve never found another perfume that I liked as much. It seems like a lot of perfumes don’t blend well with me (and I’m allergic to loads of them), but this one just makes me smell fantastic. Second favorite would go to Lonestar, which I adore in the summer. 😉
Ohhhh… I have only sampled L’air Du Desert Marocain and I loved it! Orange Star sounds lovely – please please please pick me! 🙂
Is it already too late to enter? I’ll hope for the best! Incense Rosé is my favorite, Extreme comes second. L’air is beautiful on my man.
First time posting here but I’ve been reading for a long while. Such a great site! Thank you to all the contributors!
I love both Une Rose Chyprée and L’air du desert Marocain.
I hope to be lucky this time and get the beautiful new bottle!
If I have to pick only one, it’s L’air du Desert Marocain.
I own and love FBs of L’Air du Desert Marocain and Une Rose Chypree. L’Air is def one of my top five perfumes ever!
FYI, it took me forever to choose between Une Rose Chypree or Incense Rose. When I ordered the former, Lucky Scent kindly/generously/slyly sent me another sample of the latter. Sooner or later I will cave in on that one, too, so I am making burnt offerings to the perfume gods to win the Orange Star!
In any case, thanks to Perfume Posse and Lucky Scent for this opportunity!
Was just wearing Vetiver Dance the other day, so I’ll call that my fave, but really I need to revisit his other fragrances. Off to find my Tauer samples….
I’ve been following the Orange Star giveaways across the blogosphere– fun! Hope to sniff this soon 😉

I unfortunately have not tried any of Tauer’s frags but I entered his advent calender almost every single day just for fun and his words and scent descriptions really captured me. Orange Star sounds like his most promising for me yet, I love ambergris and citrus. Wish I could teleport myself to Luckyscent in LA for the debut. OH WELL(*)
I’ve only tried one so far, Une Rose Chypree, but I love it.
Incense Extreme is my favorite not only of the Tauers.
I have not had a chance to try any of Andy’s creations yet and they sound so incredible. Thanks for entering me in the draw.
I haven’t tried them all but I adore L’Air du Desert Marocain.
I don’t really have a favorite, but would love to be in the draw.
L’air du desert Marocain is my favorite but I also like Une Rose Chypree.
L’air du desert Marocain, of course is my favorite, but every Tauer scent I’ve smelled is an adventure…I’m sure Ornage Star will be also!
Love Reverie au Jardin. Sounds like Orange Star will be a star too.
Une Rose Chypree is my favourite but this one sounds like it will be even better. I would love to be entered in the draw. Thank you
My favorite Tauer has to be Le Maroc Pour Elle. I’d be willing to switch to Orange Star in a heartbeat, though, if I were lucky enough to win a bottle! Andy’s perfumes are just lovely.
Oh, I’d have to say Incense Rosé is my favorite, though I’ve been turning to Reverie au Jardin more often now that spring has arrived.
Orange Star sounds like something I would love, and I trust Andy to infuse it with his unique artistry and character.
Have I squeaked in? My vote – I mean, I love them ALL — is Orris, but I seem to wear Une Rose Chypree an awful lot! Andy can marry me anytime. Or, I’ll just cook and clean for him. 😡
Tried posting before but due a connection FAIL here I am again saying yay to a second chance to win this! [Trying hard not to hyperventilate, here] My Tauer faves are L’Air du Désert (predictable, n’est-ce pas?) and Incense Rosé. Tied. Absolutely very curious how oranges & lemons will benefit from ANdy’s signature treatment!
NEVER HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO TRY ANY OF ANDY’S BUT THEY ALL SOUND FANTASTIC. IM WILD ABOUT ANYTHING ORANGE SO COUNT ME IN
I dearly love L’ADDM, but this new one sounds simply amazing!
Hard to choose a favorite.
I think it´s Reverie au Jardin – never smelled such a beautiful lavender like this.
Maybe Orange Star will be my new favorite – it sounds and looks so stunning!
For me it would have to be L’Air as well.
Pick me! Pick me!
Is it still time to enter?
Fave Tauer so far: L’Air du Désert Marocain. Crossing fingers!
I’ve tested all Tauer fragrances (except Orange Star of course)and have to admit that all of them are very original and very beautiful with really high quality and amazing longevity. My favourite one so far is INCENSE EXTREME.

My signature scent is L’air du Desert Marocain, but I always wecome a chance to try a new scent of Andy’s.
My favorite is L’air. Looking forward to Orange Star,please enter me for the draw !
I have yet to try only Lonestar Memories, and my favorite is Incense Rosé, until it’s LDDM tomorrow. 🙂 I would love to make Orange Star my new favorite- please enter me, and thanks!
