Phi Une Rose de Kandahar by Tauer Perfumes celebrates the extraordinary beauty of rose through a luxurious composition of ripe fruits, warm spices, and deep resins. Inspired by rare natural rose oil sourced from Afghanistan, the fragrance opens with juicy apricot, aromatic cinnamon, bitter almond, and sparkling bergamot, creating a captivating introduction of fruity sweetness and spicy warmth. At its heart, precious Afghan rose oil intertwines with rich Bulgarian rose absolute and aromatic Bourbon geranium, forming an opulent floral bouquet with remarkable depth and character.

As the fragrance develops, rich tobacco and earthy patchouli create a dark, sensual foundation, complemented by vetiver, creamy vanilla, tonka, soft musk, and ambergris. The contrast between radiant rose, indulgent fruits, and warm balsamic woods creates a beautifully textured fragrance that feels both romantic and mysterious. Elegant, expressive, and deeply luxurious, Phi Une Rose de Kandahar offers a distinctive interpretation of traditional rose perfumery.

Tauer perfumes are fragrances are made by hand in Switzerland by Andy Tauer. 

“You need absolute freedom to create beautiful fragrances. And you need time. And the best ingredients you can get. That is the true mystery how to create thrilling fragrances.” (Andy Tauer, 2010)

Andy Tauer

CEO/Founder/Artist

"I never studied the art of perfume making in a school. I do not compromise when I deal with perfumes. I invite you to test my fragrant sculptures, luxurious and rich such as ROSE CHYPRÉE, or evocative such as my 5 star(*) AIR DU DÉSERT MAROCAIN, and you will believe. I am purely self taught, started my venture 12 years ago in Switzerland and sell my fragrances worldwide. I am 100% independent and follow my taste and instinct. I consider perfumery as an artisan craft, and I want to stay connected to what I create."

They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
