Am rather taken with the works by Swiss perfumer from reading his blog, scent descriptions, and reading up on his history. He holds a degree in chemistry, and melds that so well with a vivid artistic vision displayed in the pieces of scent art he creates. Love this quote from a Question and Answer style interview posted on “Passion for Perfume” on The Scented Salamander (Read full post)
“For me… a perfume must do two things: it must first wake the wearer, in the sense that it should be something new, a little disturbance from what he/she is used to. Secondly, it should make its wearer beautiful. It should melt with the skin and let it glitter; it must lift the wearer and render her/him a feeling of beauty, attractiveness and importance.” -Andy Tauer
Thus far I’ve smelled nearly all of Andy’s offerings in sample vial sizes. I appreciate his very exacting Swiss style of containers and packaging. The vials fitting perfectly into the tin holder bearing his name. The scents themselves are fantastic. I am leaning towards a bottle of Lonestar Memories. It helps too that the bottle comes in cobalt blue. Another thing I like.
