"It all started when I visited the Louvre in Paris in 2020. There I stumbled over a section that I never visited before although I was in the Louvre a couple of times. The section was all about Persian empires and history. A revelation!

I was mesmerized by the grandeur, by the statues, and the cultural heritage, spanning more than 5000 years. I began to discover more, reading books and I ended up discovering the palace with the name of Golestan in Teheran in pictures. The palace, also known as the Rose Garden Palace, built in the 16th century, with its ornamental and figurative paintings on tiles, was pure inspiration. Golestan literally translates to city of flowers or garden of flowers.

Although I could not travel to Iran so far, I created a perfume that brings me there. It is an invitation to breathe the perfumed air of a flower garden, in freedom." - Andy Tauer

  

REVIEWS

Fragrantica - This is M A G N I F I C E N T ! ! !  I just got a sample today and even though Tuberose is a scent I struggle with, here in Golestan, it works so well with the Orange Blossom. This is VERY floral, white floral with a definite oriental spin to it....this is unbelievably wonderful! When I smell Golestan, I am transported straight to gardens inside a palace with innumerable flowers. There is the sound of a crystalline fountain nearby, the faint sound of music and laughter...there is sunshine, innocence and happiness...oh, this is beautiful! This is the scent of the best possible dream!  This is masterfully blended, I have to get my hands on a full bottle of this ASAP!!!

Fragrantica - the moment I smelled the most opulent scent of them all, one that made me roll my eyes in awe. To my surprise it was Golestan!!!! What an absolute masterpiece!! It is floral, rich, nostalgic, warm and powdery. The dry down does remind me of Tuberose Sotto la Luna from Tauer.  I don't find it similar to Femme from Rochas, which, by the way, I own and love. Whereas Femme is sharp and big, Golestan is subtle, like a whisper. Not at all similar to Creed for the same reason, Creed is loud and sharp.  This year I have tried many new releases from many indie houses, but this one is 5 out of 5. Bravo!

Fragrantica - Another beautiful creation from Andy Tauer....The ylang ylang steps out first, shining with a beautiful exotic tropical sweetness. Then the jasmine saunters in, quietly and contributes gentle floral sweetness, without being showy or too bawdy. I'm getting traces of tropical island / coconut in this, even though coconut is not listed as one of the notes.  There is a bit of shimmer from the orange blossom and bergamot, but well balanced like a carefully prepared cocktail....

Fragrantica - Wow wow wow.  This is so good!  I bought blind buy and amazed... 100% perfect

Fragrantica Mmhhh... this is a dream for lovers of tuberose and orange blossom fragrances! The tuberose, along with some ylang-ylang, is quite strong from the first spray onwards. Jasmine and orange blossom enter the stage a few minutes into the drydown. I get a very natural impression of Golestan, just like a lovely blend of essential oils. The scent is therefore also lightly indolic, but not so much that it should offend anyone, more like a tropical garden. This is definitely a must-try for enthusiasts of natural-smelling white flower scents.

Fragrantica - Opening: Real orange blossom has an green, earthy, and sweet component to it in addition to the floral aspect. This fragrance opens with an orange blossom note that exactly captures those complex facets and steers clear of the sterilized orange blossom you smell in most designer fragrances.

Heart: Creamy tuberose and huge presence of iso e super and ambroxan. The amount of Iso E that I was smelling when I put my nose close to my wrist actually shocked me, I thought maybe I had sprayed Molecule 01 on my hand before but no. Not bad at all but definitely my least favorite stage of the fragrance.

Base: The Iso E note significantly calms down and makes way for a dry jasmine accompanied by powdery sweetness. A very calming and lovely dry down. I'm surprised I did not pick up a rose note during my first few wearings of this but that might change in the future.

I think what really sells this fragrance for me is how voluminous it smells. It's a "big" perfume in the same sense as Oud Satin Mood that it never feels "thin" in terms of composition. It just radiates with these candied floral notes at all stages and fills rooms with the sillage.
