Shortly after the turn of the millennium, he simply appeared out of nowhere: fragrance guru Luca Turin stumbled across ‘L'Air du Désert’, the second fragrance by Andy Tauer, and was instantly captivated. Following enthusiastic fragrance reviews, the name Tauer began to appear in various fragrance forums and perfume blogs worldwide, marking the beginning of his unbroken rise to fame. Numerous newspapers and magazines reported on him, and his quiet life in the Alpine republic was over for the time being.

Unlike most perfumers today, Andy Tauer never attended a perfume school or received any specific training. Originally a chemist, he is entirely self-taught in the art of perfumery – his only motivation is his passion, his love of perfume and the idea of creating something unique: "Perfumery the classical way, perfumes created with love", as his self-chosen motto promises.

Putting his heart and soul into his work, Andy Tauer has now created numerous perfumes, and we hope that many more will follow. All his fragrances are handmade in small batches in Zurich using the highest quality ingredients. He has rightly built up a fan base around the world who love his fragrances and enthusiastically follow the creation process of new creations in his uniquely lovingly crafted fragrance blog.
