Aftelier Candide: The Best of All Possible Worlds…
Inspired by Voltaire’s iconic satiric novella Candide written in 1759,

Parfums DelRae Panache: Yann Vasnier’s “Third Plume” + Draw

Tauer Perfume No. 12 Eau D’Epices- Orange Spice?
The most recent release No. 12 Eau D’Epices has been a “work in progress” which has been finally released as a finished fragrance. I didn’t have the opportunity to try Eau D’Epices in its different embryonic stages and as such have only become acquainted with it in its mature form. That mature form seems to have taken some themes from an earlier Tauer Perfumes release of 2010, Orange Star, and added some more depth to them making Eau D’Epices a more complete fragrance than Orange Star was for me.
