Sundowner
Cinnamon and bergamot open Sundowner with warm, spiced brightness — the bergamot is ripe and golden rather than sharp, and the cinnamon reads less like heat and more like baking spice, hinting at what's coming.

Tobacco arrives in the heart as the sole note and sole subject — dry, cured, and unhurried. Tauer's handling is characteristically restrained; this isn't the sweet pipe tobacco of more approachable fragrances. It's darker, with a slight leathery quality that develops slowly.
The base is warm and animalic. Tonka bean and vanilla add sweetness without going gourmand; sandalwood brings creaminess; ambergris contributes depth and that characteristic warm, slightly oceanic quality that no synthetic fully replicates. Sundowner wears like the final hour of a good evening — warm, settled, still.
