Yes! I am so happy and proud: Tauer  Perfumes are now available on the continent down under at Men’s Biz. To celebrate this, which is the result of a couple of months work and discussions and analysis, I created a little kangaroo on paper that is out of proportion but looks cute. It looks cute […]

For a couple of reason I have to switch in full gas mode right now. While I am doing so: Here’s a fantastic review of Lonesome Rider on Fragrantica, by John Biebel. Enjoy! Samples of Lonesome Rider are available (you set the price, shipment is 4$) on lonesomerider.website

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.

It is about time for a new post here, after the most relaxing weekend imaginable and a ping-pong weekend jumping into spring mood on Saturday and winter’s icy grip on Sunday. Imagine: I was having a coffee on Saturday, sitting outside in the sun, wearing not much more than a light hoodie. And Sunday saw […]
