Heraud Elixir

Built around an overdose of hard-to-get double distilled cocoa bean extract from the Ivory Coast, Heraud could arguably be called Andy Tauer's first gourmand. Far from a chocolate cupcake cutie, the fragrance focuses on a balance of sweet and bitter, expertly achieved by blending unsweetened cocoa with rich dried dates, soft white florals, spicy dry woods and Andy's iconic musk-amber base — referred to by aficionados as the "Tauerade." As we've come to expect from the legendary Swiss perfumer, Heraud has major staying power, formulated in high concentration as a perfume elixir. The precious cocoa bean absolute is only produced in small batches and can't be obtained every year, which means the fragrance will be limited in availability. In other words, get it before the run is done or wait for a new batch of the precious material to be made! From Tauer Cocoa absolute, dried dates, vanilla, cedarwood and ambergris. A gourmand elixir built around double-distilled cocoa absolute from Ivory Coast, with Bourbon bergamot, bitter cocoa, dried dates, white florals, cedarwood, Planifolia vanilla, musk and ambergris. Heraud opens with bergamot and bitter cocoa before turning fruitier and creamier, with a milky cocoa heart touched by dried dates. Dry timber, spicy cedarwood, vanilla, powdery musk and crisp ambergris keep the gourmand richness structured, elegant and long on skin. Warm, cocoa-rich, woody and softly gourmand, with medium sweetness and a medium to strong presence. Heraud is available as an elixir concentration, the first of many elixirs to come. Heraud has presence, and I wanted to create a perfume that stands out, something that you can wear confidently and feel unique. It’s designed to evoke a sense of comfort and luxury, making you feel pampered and special. The modern yet classic nature of the scent means it’s versatile, suitable for both day and night, and perfect for any season. In essence, this perfume is an extraordinary fragrance. It’s a journey of indulgence, capturing the essence of cacao in a way that’s both innovative and timeless. I’m excited to share this unique gourmand experience with you, and I hope it brings as much joy to wear as it did to create.
