Today is our day for Andy Tauer’s Advent Calendar Giveaway!
Just make a comment on today’s post, and I’ll be randomly picking a winner tomorrow (Sunday 12/18/11). Once we have the winner, I’ll send all your details to Andy, and he will send you – (drum roll)
A full bottle of your choice – any of the fragrances he sells on tauerperfumes.com or a bottle of Miriam, the Tableau de Parfums scent or the Cologne du Maghreb.
I’m completely bowled over every year by his generosity. One of the true people who hold the Christmas Spirit. Thank you, Andy!
So since it’s the weekend, if Santa could leave you any bottle of perfume under the tree, regardless of cost or rarity, what would you make him leave?


Oh, make mine Vega, please!
Oooooh, anything? Definitely Iris Gris – I’m a huge iris fan-girl, and I’ve always wanted to smell it. As for something from the fabulous Andy…. it’s a toss-up between LADDM and Incense Rose.
Are entries closed for this one?? I so could do with a bottle of Incence Rose :-)
Oh the fantasy. I’d love to be given a full extrait of Cuir de Russie. That’d be lovely.
Oh, I forgot a wish for under the tree. Well, I would love a bottle of the original OH! de London, but I would also like to be the age where I first experienced it-and I think that’s beyond Santa’s capabilities…
I would love a bottle of vintage Mitsouko or FM Iris Poudre!!!
Thank you ,Andy and the girls!!!!
Oh–a large bottle of JOY!
Andy’s perfumes are marvelous, and his Advent Calendar is always enjoyable (not to mention generous).
I find it difficult to choose just one perfume, so I’d go for the Amouage Mini Perfume Set, which is equally out of my price range as any other of the full bottles.
Happy and fragrant holidays to everybody!
What a present it would be to find Fath Iris Gris under my tree ;)
Having had the privilege of sniffing the Osmathique re-creation, I’d love to be able to actually wear this unattainable vintage perfume.
Thanks so much for your generous offer Andy. How fun to be able to participate!
OMG! OMG! OMG! PICK ME! :) HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
As it is the season for dreams, I would love to try Patou’s Vacances.
Thanks to Andy Tauer for his generosity and excellent perfumes – they are truly special. Happy Holidays to all!
I’ve been hankering for a bottle of Amouage Opus V but as Santa is Santa he could certainly track down a big ole bottle of vintage Cuir de Russie extrait…??
Andy’s work is great, L’Air du Desert is SOTD…
Andy is such a lovely human being, and so remarkably talented. He makes perfumes that are perfectly balanced between the avant garde and the wearable. And somehow, they always make me smile. I can’t think of an occasion or a time of year when L’Air du Desert Marocain isn’t a good choice. It’s a rare gift that he has.
But if Santa could leave a bottle of anything under my tree this year (and I’ve been awful good, Santa baby) it would be a bottle of Creed’s Angelique Encens. I think Andy would approve.
What a delight to have your wish fulfilled. I’d love to be given a Lutens’ Santal de mysore. Must be lovely.
Dear Santa, please drop by and bring my cuir de russie extrait.
I’d love Santa to give me By Kilian Back to Black :) It’s been on my wishlist since I tried it last year.
Thanks!
Give me an extrait of Apres L’ondee and i’ll be one happy little elf.
Frederic Malle Portrait of a lady
oh pleeeeez, i need to win a tauer sometime…
By Killian Back to Black!
Andy Tauer truly is a Christmas angel. Thanks for the draw opportunity.
If I could get a bottle of anything from Santa, it would probably be the largest available bottle of Chanel 19 extrait. Mmm. We can fantasize!
I would love a Tauer perfume! Probably Lonestar Memories. Maybe L’Air or Une Rose Vermeille. Alternatley, one of those limited edition Shalimar bottles would be most welcome. :)
Thanks to you and Andy for this draw.
An Orange Star for me, please.
Wow…everyone wants a bottle of Tauer perfume. I have L’air desert du moracain (no doubt spelled wrong here!)…I bought it a year ago and tried it off and on…seemed mega strong on me, then a few weeks ago, tried it again, and it is lovely and exotic…not overwhelming! Have I grown into it, has it grown on me?
Anyway, I would love to try another Tauer perfume!
I’d like Santa to leave almost anything from Chanel, Keiko Mecherie, Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, Miller Harris, Bond No. 9.
Maybe it’s my turn this time round?
Last year I got LDDM for Christmas. This year maybe a little memory of spring? I wish for Reverie au Jardin!
Hmm, choices, choices. Iris Pallida, please. xo
I would always love another bottle of LDDM! But perhaps I would ask for something different…but of course from the Tauer line;)
What a neat giveaway! Andy’s Advent Calendar is a really neat tradition….
I’d ask for a nice big bottle of Bond No. 9 Chinatown, studded in Swarovski crystals, of course. :-)
Ooooh a very genourous prize!! Fingers crossed as I have just run out of perfume :-(
If Santa left me a big bottle of vintage Diorissimo under the tree, I’d be generous and share!
Why, one of Andy’s of course!
would love to win a bottle :)
My so-not-happening wishlist (guess I was naughty this year!):
Gobin Daude Seve Exquise, all of them really
Dior Bois D’Argent
Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Woman
Montale Indian Safron
Mark Buxton biehl – parfumkunstwerke scents 2 and 3
I have one bottle of l’air du desert marocain, which is the only reason it isn’t on this list :)
Feel like I should want to try Miriam seeing as how it’s my name too…but aldehydes do not love me. Neither do most florals. The pentachords look fascinating, and the rose scents, and and annnnd I should just cave and get the samples on my to-try wishlist already.
Donna Karan’s Black Cashmere pure parfum; the EDP was my first perfume love and my signature scent all through college. I loved the scent almost as much as the memories that went with it and was heartbroken when it was discontinued :((
Thanks to Andy for his generosity–what a fabulous giveaway!
A vintage Chanel–either 19 or 22.
If I could have anything, I’d want a bottle of whatever Queen Jezebel wore…
There are so many beautiful ones…what a hard decision! Probably Sinfonia di Note Petale di Rose, being that it’s next to impossible to find (Santa would have to use his Italian elves) but would also love a bottle of Miriam or Une Rose Chypree..:-)
Anything at all? Fath Iris Gris. Go big or go home ;).
I am hoping for Vetiver Dance and Apres l”ondre.
Thanks for the generosity.
Best wishes.
Jasmin de corse by Coty, thanks Andy!
My fantasy bottle would be the original Hermes Doblis. For reality, Orange Star by Tauer, of course.
I’m hoping Santa will leave me a bottle of Andy Tauer’s Le Maroc Pour Elle (or any of his other scents), or one of the exclusive Serge Lutens bell jars (like Un Lys or Bois et Musc). I’d also take one of the Le Labo exclusives (Gaiac 10) or pretty much any of the fragrances in the Frederic Malle line. Thanks for the opportunity to be part of this generous draw!
A bottle of Portrait Of A Lady would be far from excellent.
A 100ml bottle of Purediatance M….a nose can dream!
I am hoping Santa leaves a bottle of Jubilation or Miriam….but a bottle of pre-formulation Caron Poivre or Or et Noir would be dreamy as well.
Thanks to the Posse and of course Andy for his generosity. I hope every ounce of his kindness is returned to him tenfold.
I love Andy. Nothin’ else to say.
Like This has been on my list for a while…
