Tauer Perfumes
Artisanal perfumery from a Zurich studio.
Tauer Perfumes is the Zurich studio of Andy Tauer, a chemist who turned self-taught perfumer and launched the house in 2005. Every formula is composed, blended and bottled in small batches by Tauer himself, which keeps the catalogue compact and the materials — Bulgarian rose, ambergris, vetiver, frankincense, jasmine sambac — front and centre rather than buried under modern aroma chemicals. The signature is dense, dry and resolutely unmodern: L'Air du Désert Marocain, Lonestar Memorial and Incense Extrême read more like 1970s orientals than current niche releases, and the house has built a quietly devoted following among collectors who prefer texture to trend. Tauer's blog, running since 2006, doubles as a working diary of the studio and is part of why the brand reads as artisan rather than corporate niche.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
