Heraud – Elixir

Andy Tauer HERAUD Eau de Parfum

A messenger of cacao – refined, powerful, unforgettable

Some fragrances whisper. Others linger like a secret. And then there are those that arrive with clarity and grace, like a messenger. HERAUD, named after the Old French word for a royal herald, is one of them: a fragrance that speaks with depth, elegance, and unmistakable identity.

At the heart of this composition lies a rare treasure: overdosed, double-distilled cocoa absolute from the Ivory Coast. Rich, creamy, and opulent – yet never heavy. Andy Tauer doesn’t let the cacao dominate; instead, he lets it glide, softened by light, structure, and gourmand warmth.

Citrus brightness, creamy heart, sensual woods

HERAUD opens with a refreshing touch of Bourbon bergamot – citrusy, bright, and elegant. This sprightly note creates a vibrant contrast to the bitter, deep tone of cocoa. A delicate balance, like golden light on velvet.

The heart reveals fruity-warm cacao, enriched by sweet dates and a gentle trace of white florals. It’s creamy and gourmand, yet airy – a smooth richness that feels effortless, never overindulgent.

In the base, dry woods, cedar, Planifolia vanilla, amber, and musk create a softly powdery and sensual trail. Long-lasting and quietly enveloping, this scent doesn’t vanish – it lingers like silk on skin.

A new chapter in modern gourmand perfumery

HERAUD is a unisex Eau de Parfum that takes the concept of cocoa far beyond dessert sweetness. Instead of leaning into sugar, Andy Tauer creates a contemporary structure – woody, creamy, spicy, and refined. The high concentration of cocoa is present throughout, not overpowering, but woven into every layer with purpose and poise.

It’s a fragrance for every occasion: crisp autumn mornings, winter evenings, elegant city days. HERAUD wears like a signature – one of confidence, quiet strength, and individuality.

Andy Tauer – fragrance as artistic expression

Andy Tauer, Swiss perfumer and passionate autodidact, has been crafting scents since 2005 with uncompromising creativity and artisanal care. Each fragrance is made in small batches, by hand, driven not by trends, but by inspiration – from art, nature, and emotion.

With HERAUD, Tauer reimagines cocoa as a noble note, not playful or childlike, but profound. A fragrance that announces itself not with volume, but with intention. Like a message you carry – personal, poetic, and real.
