Tauer Heraud Elixir

The inspiration behind Heraud came from a deep desire to create a truly unique fragrance. Perfumer Andy Tauer aimed to craft a fragrance centred around rich cacao extracts, taking it beyond the usual gourmand scents, wanting to make a perfume that’s both delicious and sophisticated, combining the comforting sweetness of gourmand notes with a modern touch and timeless appeal. Using high-quality cacao as the core, he achieved a luxurious aroma that lasts all day. Warm and ambery, it wraps the wearer in a cosy scent that’s perfect for any occasion. Its long-lasting nature ensures that the delightful mix of sweet and bitter cacao, along with hints of vanilla and Bourbon bergamot, stays with you throughout the day. The idea was to balance modern and classic elements, offering a unique scent that’s both familiar and refreshingly new. Heraud is a celebration of gourmand indulgence, carefully crafted to be beyond the ordinary.

Bourbon Bergamot, Bitter Cocoa, Milky Cocoa, Dried Dates, White Florals, Dry Timber Woods Accord, Cedarwood, Vanilla Planifolia, Powdery Musks, Ambergris

Subtle decadence - fine quality materials and craft have produced a generous cocoa scent, a gourmand in spirit with a contrastingly sturdy and precise construction made up of woods. For lovers of exquisite gourmand perfumes, and expression woody fragrances. A close wearing cool weather fragrance.

A Note From Andy Tauer:
"One of the central pillars in the perfume formula is the double distilled extract of cocoa beans from the Ivory Coast. Very hard to get, not available every year, produced in smaller batches: Heraud might not be available at all times. This is the sacrifice we have to pay for quality. This cocoa bean absolute is overdosed in the perfume formula and radiates lovely throughout the entire perfume."

Made in Switzerland

EDITOR'S NOTES

You seemingly need to catch Heraud in the midst of its movement, which morphs in gorgeous slow motion so we can see every aspect of its character. Heraud is a perfume that is about the luxury of experience - good materials are a given with Andy Tauer, but the real extravagance is the sensation of the perfume unfurling in time. Artistry is a matter of form and arrangement, and here it feels like a generous proposition - indeed, a proclamation promised by its name.

Tauer draws out this herald so as to elongate the feeling of anticipation. Its opening is a dizzying vortex, like the very best smells to emerge from a snifter of brandy - carried on gentle vapours that reveal notes of fruit, spice, floral, and wood. Before you can identify the central cocoa notes of Heraud, you’ll detect candied orange, and a pomander of clove and cinnamon, you might then detect poached pears, dates, tropical fruit, honey, muguet, jasmine, and vanilla. Revealed one at a time, all of which form nodes in a constellation that says: cocoa.

This cocoa note does not stay still, oscillating between dustiness and milky creaminess, amongst the driest wood notes and the most lusciously sticky fruits. Spruiked with the characteristic Tauer sparkle, Heraud’s dry down resembles the textured timbre and steadiness of plucked strings on a double bass.
