L'Air des Alpes Suisses

Inspiration
Above the tree line a different wind blows. L'Air des Alpes Suisses starts there: cool air, rough stone and bitter herbs in sharp light. Lower down the slope it turns green and floral, with a powdery tenderness and the impression of red alpine lily. Larch and beech wood and sun-warmed dry earth catch that freshness.

The Signature of L'Air des Alpes Suisses
Bitter herbs and something mineral, as if you run your hand over cold rock. The lily then turns it soft and powdery. Larch and dry earth bring the warmth back.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Andy Tauer lives in Switzerland, and you can smell it in this scent. The opening is cool and bitter, with herbs that smell more of a mountain meadow than of a kitchen. After half an hour it turns unexpectedly tender: a powdery flower, green and clean. Then the wood arrives, and the larch gives a resinous warmth reminiscent of a wooden mountain hut in the afternoon sun. It is fresh without ever being aquatic. We wear it in spring, on walks or at the office, and in summer too when it is warm and dry. For those seeking nature in a perfume, without sweetness.
