By chance, I ended up with samples of Tauer Perfumes Noontide Petals and Hermès Jour d’Hermès the same week. Here were two fragrances embodying floral bouquets, created by two very different noses.

What is it: As some of you may know, Tauer Perfumes ran into some problems shipping their products to customers in the United States due to increased air freight security measures. They’re now back in business here, and to celebrate, Andy Tauer is giving away ten 100 g bars of handmade glycerine soap in Majestic Tuberose. There will be 10 winners, 1 bar each. Sorry, US only this time!
How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment on the website telling us that you live in the US. Also tell us a) your favorite Tauer fragrance or b) your favorite scented soap or c) what you wish Andy Tauer would make next. Or go ahead and tell us all three.
