What do reviewers say about Tau and Cowboy Grass?
Tau isn't trying to win the room. It's for the person who doesn't need to be noticed to be remembered. Juniper-forward and woody, with an earthy backbone that holds its ground through eight hours.Tau
This is not a safe blind buy. Cowboy Grass smells like actual plants, not perfumery abstractions. The Wild Thyme and Artemisia give it a medicinal edge that some will love and others will find.Cowboy Grass
