No. 03 Lonestar Memories – Eau de Toilette

Tauer Perfumes No. 03 – LONESTAR MEMORIES - Eau de Toilette

LONESTAR MEMORIES is one of the most iconic fragrances by Andy Tauer, the founder of Tauer Perfumes, and part of his early works. Released in 2006, the fragrance is inspired by the vastness of the American West, particularly Texas, and captures the spirit of cowboys, wide open prairies, leather and campfires. It belongs to the oriental woody fragrance family and is known for its smoky, leathery and resinous notes that create a powerful, emotional and nostalgic atmosphere.

Lonestar Memories is a fragrance inspired by the wild romance of the American West. It is a tribute to the image of the cowboy: rough, masculine, but also deeply rooted in nature. The fragrance takes the wearer on a journey through endless landscapes, where the barren land meets wild nature. It is the scent of freedom, of wide skies and dusty roads. Andy Tauer has managed to capture the feeling of an adventurer sitting around a campfire in a blend of smoky, leathery and woody notes.

The name ‘LONESTAR MEMORIES’ refers not only to Texas, the ‘Lone Star State’, but also to a longing for the simple but profound experiences of the past. It is a fragrance full of emotions and memories that is like a snapshot of a cowboy's soul.

LONESTAR MEMORIES is a complex fragrance that is built in layers. The composition contains both fresh and deep, earthy elements that combine harmoniously. The structure of the fragrance progresses from a citrus-aromatic opening to a smoky, leathery heart and ends in a warm, resinous and balsamic base.

LONESTAR MEMORIES opens with a surprisingly fresh and spicy note. The bergamot brings a light citrus freshness, which is quickly accompanied by the spicy and slightly floral notes of geranium. This gives the perfume an unexpected, almost green freshness that contrasts strongly with the smoky and dark heart notes. Carrot seed adds a slightly earthy and sweet note that perfectly matches the wilderness atmosphere that the fragrance aims to create.

The heart of LONESTAR MEMORIES is the true highlight of the fragrance. This is where the smoky, leathery and woody notes that make up the essence of the fragrance come into play. Cedarwood lends the fragrance a dry, woody note that is reminiscent of the feeling of standing under a large tree on the prairie. The incense intensifies the smokiness of the fragrance and brings a mystical, almost spiritual component to the composition. Finally, the leather provides a rough, animalistic depth, reminiscent of cowboy boots or saddlebags lying in the sun. The leather in Lonestar Memories is not polished and smooth, but rather rough and masculine, like an old, well-worn pair of leather boots.

In the base, the fragrance LONESTAR MEMORIES becomes deeper and warmer. Vetiver adds an earthy, green note that reinforces the connection to nature. Tonka bean brings a light sweetness and warmth that adds softness to the smoky and leathery notes. Labdanum, the resin of cistus, adds a resinous, balsamic depth to the base, providing a long-lasting, pleasant scent trail. The combination of these notes creates a warm and calming base that makes the fragrance long-lasting and intense.

LONESTAR MEMORIES is a fragrance that develops over hours and constantly reveals new facets. It begins fresh and spicy, but quickly develops into a smoky and leathery heart. This phase is particularly intense and is strongly reminiscent of the image of a cowboy sitting around a campfire with the smell of leather and burning wood around him.

As the hours pass, the fragrance becomes warmer and softer as the resinous and sweet notes of the base emerge. Labdanum and tonka bean in particular ensure that the fragrance ends up with a deep, warm and balsamic quality that has a calming effect. This long and complex development makes LONESTAR MEMORIES  a real experience on the skin.

The longevity of the fragrance is excellent - it remains intense on the skin for many hours. The sillage (scent trail) is moderate to strong, especially in the first few hours when the smoky and leathery notes dominate. Even after many hours, the fragrance remains present on the skin, albeit softer and less intense, making it feel more like an intimate aura.

LONESTAR MEMORIES  is a decidedly masculine, powerful and smoky fragrance. It is not an easily accessible perfume for everyday wear, but a powerful, bold composition that will appeal to lovers of smoky, leathery and resinous scents in particular. The fragrance has a wild, untamed quality and at the same time radiates a deep melancholy, similar to the endless expanses of the prairie.

This fragrance is particularly suitable for colder months or evening occasions when you want to wear something that makes an impression. It's definitely not a fragrance for every occasion - but for those moments when you want to feel strong, confident and a little rebellious, Lonestar Memories is the perfect choice.

Although the fragrance is described as masculine, it can also be worn by women who appreciate smoky, leathery and woody scents. It is a fragrance that embodies individuality and character without conforming to the mainstream.
