Phi Une Rose de Kandahar

Description Phi: Une Rose de Kandahar is Andy Tauer's 2013 entry in his Collectibles line, inspired by a natural rose extract produced in Afghanistan's Nangarhar rose-growing region. Bitter almond, apricot and cinnamon open into a rich heart of Afghan rose, Bulgarian rose absolute, geranium and tobacco absolute, settling into an ambery base of musk, patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla and vetiver. Fragrantica reviewers have called it “gorgeous summer goo”: a jammy, tobacco-warmed rose built for people who want something richer than a soliflore.
