The story behind the bottle.
Heraud by Tauer Perfumes is a new fragrance that embodies the sweet and warm complexity of cocoa and vanilla, blended with woody and powdery notes. Launched in 2024 and crafted by Andy Tauer, Heraud opens with a rich cocoa accord, enhanced by dates and white flowers, before settling into a base of ambergris, vanilla, cedar, and musk. The result is an Oriental Vanilla scent that feels both comforting and sophisticated, striking the perfect balance between sweetness and warmth.
Given its long-lasting nature, Heraud requires only one or two sprays. The fragrance builds slowly on the skin, so allow it to develop for at least an hour before reapplying if needed. Its moderate sillage makes it perfect for both daytime and evening wear.
