Tauer Perfumes is an independent perfume house headquartered in Switzerland, founded by the skilled chemist and self-taught perfumer, Andy Tauer, in 2005. Starting as a one-man venture, Tauer Perfumes has attained global recognition among perfumistas for its exquisite fragrances, known as “fragrant sculptures,” which showcase a combination of top-tier ingredients and innovative structures. Alongside this, Andy Tauer’s accessibility and strong relationship with the perfume community, fostered through social media engagement, have contributed to his widespread acclaim.

Through Tauer Perfumes’ online presence, which began with Andy Tauer’s inaugural blog in 2006 and expanded to the collaborative platform PERFUMism.com in 2009, the brand has evolved into a cult favorite worldwide. Additionally, Andy Tauer’s remarkable talent and unwavering support of the artisan and independent perfume community have further solidified his reputation.

Tauer Perfumes manifests in various collections, each with its distinct focus. The Classics, comprising the initial fragrances that captivated the public’s attention—Le Maroc Pour Elle (2005), L’Air du Desert Marocain (2005), and Lonestar Memories (2006)—highlight Tauer Perfumes’ early success. Homages, on the other hand, prioritize exclusive ingredients and a higher concentration of natural oils to deliver unparalleled olfactory experiences. PentaChords embody a “less is more” philosophy, emphasizing simplicity in fragrance composition. The Collectibles range, designed for fragrance enthusiasts, showcases limited-volume perfumes crafted with precious raw materials whose availability varies annually. Finally, Tauerville, launched in 2014, fosters an environment that nurtures creative expression in fragrance composition and innovation.

In 2011, Andy Tauer embarked on a collaboration with filmmaker Brian Pera, resulting in a project called Tableau de Parfums. Inspired by Pera’s film series Woman’s Picture, Andy creates perfume “portraits” that embody the essence of the characters depicted.

The extensive fragrance base of Tauer Perfumes features 37 unique scents. The range spans from the earliest edition in 2005 to the most recent in 2022. These aromatic creations bear the exquisite craftsmanship of Andy Tauer, who served as the nose behind each fragrance.
