Tauer Perfumes is the Zurich niche house of independent perfumer Andy Tauer, known for natural-ingredient-forward compositions and dry, spiced, resinous signatures that read very differently to mainstream niche. Scendira lists 21 Tauer perfumes, with prices from about $19 to $300. Well-known examples include Patch Absolue (warm spiced patchouli with resinous amber and creamy sandalwood), Au Coeur du Désert (spiced amber smoke over dry patchouli resin), L'Air du Desert Marocain (spiced desert air with smoky woods and resin warmth), PHI Une Rose de Kandahar (powdery rose tea with fruity sweet spice) and Rose Absolue (spiced berries and citrus wrapped in warm resinous rose). The range also puts incense up front in 05 Incense Extreme and 06 Incense Rose. Best read as the independent-perfumer niche entry: dry, spiced, deeply narrative.
