Andy Tauers homage to the American cowboy, 03 Lonestar Memories is a unique, evocative fragrance. It never fails to bring back my childhood memories of backyard bonfires with my Dad.

It opens with a surprise: a camphor/medicinal note that I love and that to me smells like liniment. Geranium and sage balance it with an organic note while cedar wood gives it a woodiness. Soon a smoky/leathery accord appears the smell of a campfire, of worn leather gloves and saddles. Jasmine adds an animalic note every cowboy has his horse - that just rounds out any harshness and makes that smoky/leather accord just perfect. Myrhh and vetiver at the base give it an earthiness which is slightly sweetened by tonka. Sandalwood smoothes out any sharpness, so that the dry down is luxurious and full, never hard or flat.

03 Lonestar Memories is a haunting, unique fragrance that is like nothing else I know. Thats what you get in the bottle, the memories it stirs up are all yours.

Notes: Green geranium, carrot seed, clary sage, birchtar, cistus, jasmine, cedar wood, myrrh, Tonka, vetiver and sandalwood.
