by Tauer Perfumes
Golestan by Tauer Perfumes is a lush, radiant white floral with a rich oriental core. It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and tropical floral notes—bergamot, lemon zest, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom—creating an immediately captivating effect. The heart is dominated by creamy, intoxicating tuberose and jasmine, enhanced by a luminous, almost luminous white floral accord that feels both opulent and natural. The base reveals a dry, powdery, and slightly sweet trail, with ambergris, vanilla, and subtle patchouli that lend depth without heaviness. While not overtly woody, the fragrance carries a cool, airy quality in the dry down, evoking a dreamlike palace garden filled with greenery and sunlight. The scent is exceptionally long-lasting and carries strong, moderate sillage, especially in warm conditions. It performs well in spring and winter, with warm air enhancing its luminous projection. The fragrance is not subtle—it is bold and expressive, with a complex, evolving structure and a luxurious feel. Many users describe it as a masterful blend of floral richness, balancing sweetness with elegance and a soft, powdery dry down. Despite its opulence, some find the sweetness overwhelming at first, and its performance can be affected by dry environments. There is a noticeable similarity to Sotto La Luna Gardenia and vintage Joop! Femme, though Golestan asserts its own identity through better balance and more natural floral perception. It is not for those seeking minimalism or a strong oriental base, but rather for lovers of mature, scent-driven florals who appreciate a perfume that feels like a masterpiece in its own right.
