shipping air du désert marocain

I did not post a lot this week, but the last post  about some of the marketing mechanics found quite some interest: Great! I was not aware that talking about the rules of the game might find such an interest here. Again: Great! This week I was pretty busy with stocking up (Incense rosé) and […]

the color of luxury

Today,  I googled for “luxury” in google.com’s picture section. You can do so, too: Click here to see what you get. Google might show you different pictures than what I get, as my googling and surfing preferences are different, though. But, as it was a first for me, and as I never searched for most […]

Of course, peach is also a perfumery note, and I used […]

miniatures and orchestration

Today’s picture is a miniature watercolor illustration. I real life it is about 8×5 cm. In the watercolor class, we are supposed to try doing miniatures of a motive before we go full scale.

I got the seeds from a specialized, organic seed cultivator that features a lot of specialities that you can’t get anywhere else, Zollinger Samen, their webpage is here, but it is in German, based in […]

archetype and stereotype

Today, unfortunately, my bike needs to go to bikeshop. The bike’s chain broke. That’s a first in my life and totally not exciting. It broke yesterday, and I had to walk home from town.

Article in Fluxmagazine

There was a great article in the Flux Magazine, featuring luxury fragrances, the transformation in the market, and why niche is winning shares in some market segments. The article featured Tauer Perfumes, and two three other brands and I recommend reading it, here. This is seriously good press and nice. The article follows a couple of […]

paper work

Besides moving and packing bottles in the factory; this week is going to be a bit paper dominated. That’s the plan at least. Hence, today’s picture showing you a quick photo of a print-out of the Tauer GmbH  company ‘s GTIN-13 barcodes. I’ll really, really need to get up and running for September (the fragrance […]
