Description
NEXIN by Tauer Perfumes opens with a bright and zesty burst of citrus, primarily lemon and bergamot, softened by a touch of geranium, giving it a fresh yet refined initial impression. As it settles, the fragrance develops a creamy, almost buttery texture with the emergence of delicate rose, lemon blossom, and orange blossom, alongside the powdery elegance of orris root. The drydown reveals a sophisticated and grounding base of vetiver, oakmoss, and ambergris, interwoven with warm cedar, sandalwood, musk, and tonka, creating a softly musky and enduring finish. This scent offers a modern take on a classic fougère, blending traditional elements with Andy Tauer's distinctive style. Perfumer: Andy Tauer
