HERAUD Elixir by Tauer Perfumes celebrates the indulgent richness of fine cocoa through an elegant composition of dark chocolate, luscious fruits, and warm woods. Created by perfumer Andy Tauer, the fragrance centers around rare double-distilled cocoa absolute from the Ivory Coast. It opens with vibrant Bourbon bergamot and bitter cocoa, creating an intriguing contrast of citrus brightness and deep chocolate richness. At its heart, creamy, milky cocoa intertwines with sweet dried dates and delicate white floral nuances, adding a velvety softness to the composition.

As the fragrance develops, dry timber and spicy cedarwood create a refined woody foundation, complemented by luxurious Planifolia vanilla, powdery musk, and crisp ambergris. The result is a beautifully textured gourmand that balances cocoa's natural bitterness with comforting sweetness and sensual warmth. Rich, enveloping, and sophisticated, HERAUD offers an elegant interpretation of chocolate perfumery that feels indulgent without becoming overly sweet.

Andy Tauer

CEO/Founder/Artist

"I never studied the art of perfume making in a school. I do not compromise when I deal with perfumes. I invite you to test my fragrant sculptures, luxurious and rich such as ROSE CHYPRÉE, or evocative such as my 5 star(*) AIR DU DÉSERT MAROCAIN, and you will believe. I am purely self taught, started my venture 12 years ago in Switzerland and sell my fragrances worldwide. I am 100% independent and follow my taste and instinct. I consider perfumery as an artisan craft, and I want to stay connected to what I create."

Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
