Columbine, you're more than welcome. I'll be very interested to find out what you make of Lonestar.

thank you for the suggestions, i had not heard of Knize Ten and the reviews i have read made me want to give it a snif…one of the local perfume shops seem to stock it so…and yes i will order a sample of Lonestar :- )

Columbine, I'm afraid Carillon definitely has a strong floral aspect, but you never know, your boyfriend might like it.

I'm sorry if I'm making suggestions you're already aware of, but have you tried Knize Ten or Serge Lutens' Cuir Mauresque? Oh, and if you're going to order some Tauer samples and your boyfriend likes leather, then you MUST order a sample of Lonestar Memories!

thanks for your answer, actually, it isn't for me but for my boyfriend and what he likes best are perfumes with a strong leather componant (suits him well too) and no i don't see him wearing Shalimar (which i wore for years) or any feminine perfumes because he associates feminine scents strongly with me.
i think that i will order a sampler set from his website, including carillon (just love the name so much :-)) but it sounds as it may not be the thing for him (floral isn't like him at all)

Columbine, that's always a tricky subject, isn't it? Andy deliberately – and quite rightly, in my opinion – doesn't classify his perfumes by sex. I quite happily wore Carillon whilst testing it for this review, and if I owned a full bottle, I would continue to wear it confidently and comfortably. But I know plenty of men who wouldn't dream of wearing it.

It isn't what you'd call a traditional masculine, but then, as you say in your comment, that's not what you're looking for. Would you consider wearing Guerlain's Shalimar or Nahema? Do you like Gaultier's Fleur Du Male? Would you feel happy spraying a strong floral – like a tuberose, maybe – on yourself? If so, I'd say you ought to try Carillon.

Kjanicki, oh well, at least you gave it a fair chance. But yes, you're right, we've got to be grateful to Andy for heading in unexpected directions.

Masha, thanks for your comment. Ultimately, the notion of 'weird' is totally subjective, isn't it? Lots of people find Lonestar Memories rather odd, but I fell for it hook, line and sinker from the very first spray. I hope you get to try Carillon soon.

Ines, yes, there are moments when it seems almost hyper-real. Have you actually tried wearing it? Its sillage is really beautiful.

I tried, 3 days in a roaw, but I really didn't like this one. I like that Andy Tauer tries new and interesting things though.
