SHADID

SHADID from Tauer Perfumes, released in 2025, is a dark woody fragrance with an animalic leather edge and a sweet, spiced warmth. Everyone who describes it calls it woody, and about half also notice spice, gourmand sweetness, amber and leather.

Coriander gives the opening a fresh, slightly lemony and aromatic spice. The woods form the core: cedar brings a dry, pencil-like note, sandalwood a creamy smoothness, and cypriol, also called nagarmotha, a smoky, earthy, rooty depth. Castoreum adds a warm, leathery, animalic richness that gives the scent its leather character, while ambergris lends a soft, salty, skin-like radiance. Vanilla rounds everything with a creamy sweetness that softens the darker notes.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who enjoy bold, slightly feral woods with a smooth finish. The profile points to autumn and winter, evenings and occasions where a distinctive fragrance is welcome. Admirers of Andy Tauer's dense, characterful style, and of castoreum leathers generally, are its natural audience.
