There were some minor mentions on the Perfume Posse about L'Heure Bleu and did see what the bottle looked like. I had initially thought that Guerlain had just did something with the bottle, but this is pretty much a whole new perfume and I thought that there would be more of the traditional Guerlain offerings at Ulta. You know, something Like Apres L'Ondee, or maybe Mitsouko but nope, just this strange version of the original L'Heure Bleu. L'Heure de Nuit was a homage to the original and you could smell it. I had almost wasted my Ulta rewards points on a 1 ounce bottle but didn't. It was 2 in the morning and that is when I lose a lot of things, like restraint and reading compression. But somehow managed to not go through with it. I would like to get some kind of sample first before I commit. So I backed out of that purchase.
I didn't drag anything that I haven't worn in forever out nor did I go wearing Cheirosa 62 or Infusion d'iris. The most notable thing was that I wore was Andy Tauer Sundowner. I do think Sundowner is not really a great name for a perfume, it conjures up the memories of my grandmother sundowning when the dementia was quickly becoming apparent to the world. But I did spend time wearing at least 1 new thing and now reviewing it.
Sundowner is definitely a Tauer offering. I noticed that the Tauer base seemed to be a little bigger than I remember but it has been a long time since I have worn any kind of Tauer offering often enough. The notes that really stuck out was the cinnamon and the chocolate. I will admit that I am not so sure that I like cinnamon as a dominant note in perfume but I have never liked chocolate as a perfume note. I want to eat my chocolate and not wear it. It is I just can't make heads or tails of this one right now and will probably have to give this another go before a proper review can be done.
