With Nexin, Tauer maintains his promise of quality ingredients, first and foremost. This is his unbroken promise, and Nexin celebrates not only almost two decades of creation, but beautiful and well-arranged ingredients. Of course, perfumery is more than just good ingredients and composition - it takes imagination too - but it’s certainly an essential start.

There can be no doubt that the fragrance puts quality on display, without unnecessary twirls or distractions. Its movements are drawn out, seamless, yet discernible, as an initial citric light heralds a most perfect rose, a rose that plays in the higher register, nuanced in a way to recall Tauer’s many greats: past, present, and discontinued! There’s a hint of powder and spice, fire and sweetness. It shimmers amongst the cooling touch of geranium and plush lemon blossom, florals moving around a central pivot of tonka bean. This note is subtle but fully expressed, naturally rich and interesting, imparting a coumarinic dryness redolent of scorched grasses, hay, vanilla, and almonds - it is like a sweetness drawn from the earth.

Nexin’s phrases are plentiful: you can seemingly stop it at any moment in time and observe its configurations, as it plays with proportions always in the balance. Tonka transitions into a vetiver that is particularly shady, reinforced with moss, wood, and ambergris notes. It has a decidedly chypre-like feel, and in combination with iris root, it is dry and saps the sweetness of this fragrance. This represents the night sky, the generous mysteries of shadows, and pleats in this cosmic tapestry. At all times Nexin demands savouring - not many perfumes offer such an extraordinary and subtle drama of changes. Even more, its development is additive: it gains qualities, and never loses them. It metamorphoses in real time. Nexin is a rare opportunity, and a glorious exemplar of perfumery that satisfies its quintessential feature: to cause experience … and this just happens to be a great one.
