welcome back! We have exciting news: a new perfume in a soap™ is hitting the shelves: VIVID GARDENIA. A lush soap that fills your bathrooms with the perfume of white flower petals, jasmine (J. grandiflorum absolute from Egypt), roses and more. It took us much longer to finally get there but here we are. The […]

Yesterday, finally, I managed to add the miniature of PHI-une rose de Kandahar to the website (here’s the link). Hurray! Next: it will take quite a while until I add another fragrance in the miniature format. And I have not decided which one to add, yet. Filling them is a bit tedious and the logistics […]

It is 11 years that L’air du désert marocain exists. I launched it 11 years ago in the most simple flacon you can imagine (see picture of today). It has been quite a journey since then…. Overall, the journey brought me up to new lands and discoveries, but it was a bumpy way, with many […]

Today, here in Zurich, we are still in some sort of a hold position with a couple of depression systems that do not seem to move much. The JET stream is still not there where I wish it to be. It feels a bit like in a rain forest, but without the temperatures really. So, we […]

Today, I have my watercolor class again and I am sooooo looking forward to it. And to my new glasses. The frame is the same but I get a stronger correction. This will help me a lot when sitting in front of the PC and when putting labels on bottles. The arms got too short […]

I just clicked the “send” button for the newsletter. It is out now, no way back. There it says: ” ROSE flash is the most luxurious rose that I have created so far. It is special in many ways. I look at it as a little gift from tauerville; a perfume for my rose loving friends. […]

There are moments in our lives where things change, from one moment to the other. Yesterday was such a moment. I was sitting on the balcony, under the most bright September sun imaginable, painting a still live of red wine leaves  and rose hips, picked in the garden the day before, when I got a […]

Today’s picture shows you the contrary of what we have seen yesterday and will see next month again: A super full moon. That’s what we have seen. And the picture shows you a mini moon, the photo been taken around 10 am, while cycling in the Danube valley. The moon is the little dot in […]
