NZZ and see you soon

Fragrant greetings and thank you for visiting! I think this is the last post for about two weeks: I will be travelling for two weeks and it might well be that I don’t post on my blog. As always, before leaving, there is a plenitude of things to get done. This time, it was really, really a […]

perfume, in a soap

Today’s picture shows you a quick, slightly out of angle shot of the tauerville balance, one of the tools that you end up needing when mixing and creating scents. “volumes are not additive”, that’s what we were told in our chemistry class, years ago, and it is still true. Basically, it means that mixing 100 […]

Welcome to a brand new, excitingly fragrant and colorful 2013! Here’s what is happening in the perfume house of tauer these days: I got, no wrong: Tauer Perfumes got a new balance for weighing perfume formulas and I did a couple of final, last, ultimate control mixes.
