Description
Golestan by Tauer Perfumes is an intriguing floral fragrance that transports you to a magnificent blooming garden, drawing inspiration from the historic Golestan Palace in Tehran. It opens with a vibrant burst of fresh citrus and rich ylang-ylang, quickly transitioning into a lush heart where Bulgarian rose absolute gracefully softens the opulent white florals of jasmine, tuberose, and orange blossom. As it settles, a rich and creamy base of patchouli, amber notes, and sweet, soft woods emerges, providing a sophisticated and long-lasting finish. Some find a unique, almost 'dusty' quality in its initial stages, which evolves into a complex and captivating scent experience. Perfumer: Andy Tauer
