The Alps? Really?
I was so excited for this release, but I am so grateful I did not blind buy it. Nothing about it places me in the Alps after the first few minutes. At first, it smells like that scene in the Sound of Music when Julie Andrews is running around the mountains in the green grass, except in my mind the mountains are full of tiny yellow wildflowers. At first I wondered if there could be a touch of linden in the top notes. It fades quickly, and some terrible "ambergris" comes out full force, not smelling like any ambergris I've ever come across. It smells funky in a bad way. Fishy and stale and has no place in the Alps. Then it essentially reduces down to something like his L'Eau. A Taueraide that is becoming too redundant to the point where now I'm going, ok we are going to have the Taueraide with [insert notes] and know what something will smell like. Tobacco, woods, lavender. You name it, he mixes it with Taueraide. I saw someone online say that this is an entirely new creation, but I feel the polar opposite. I've smelled it before, too many times. I smell it in Incense Extreme, in Le Maroc Pour Femme, in L'Eau, in Orange Star. It's old and tired, like Angel or Alien flankers. It smells like laundry detergent made of synthetic musks. Lasted the entire day, much to my chagrin. Big pass on this. No full bottle, no thank you.

All the flower to you
We continue with the round of perfume reviews that, well, I thought they were going to be the panacea and in the end, well, they are good but not that great.

L'Air Des Alpes Suisses, where I hope the air in the Swiss Alps is not the same as what is in this bottle because my God, what a headache it must give.

A very fresh, very aromatic and spicy opening with those hints of conifers such as pine and fir, it is like being in a forest where it recently rained and everything is splendidly green.

Buuuut, like all good things it doesn't last long, and it all goes away after an hour, leaving behind some amber and sweet floral tones that are clearly lavender, lily and to a much lesser extent orchid, reminding me of a fabric softener, but more intense. It is like Midsommar in the part where they lie down in the middle of a meadow but full of flowers.

And that's it, there are no more developments in this fragrance. For me, it's a floral fabric softener scent that will make you smell clean for more than 8 hours. The best thing about it is that it could be used for any season, but, once again, with a Tauer perfume, don't go overboard. I see another signature perfume here, if you like the smell of course.

Once again, I'm very glad I bought a sample. You never know what you might find coming out of the head of a freelance perfumer. Which I really appreciate. Totally unisex, I must add.
It's not something I would buy, but it's something I would gladly accept as a gift.

In short: A bouquet of flowers for you, so you can smell like freshly washed clothes.

Stripped down Reflection Man / Reflection 45
I can see what people mean when they say this smells like Reflection Man or Reflection 45....but it's like there is one similar top note or accord and that's it. This is like if you took one of the many top notes of Reflection and made it into this.

It's like the sweet vanilla / resinous / cinnamon quality...maybe if you stripped down Reflection and mixed it with Le Male.

It's very nice, I wish it had a little more complexity to it in the top. Personally, Relfection 45 is one of the greatest openings in the world to me...the sad part is that lasts a whole 15-30 mins that I get any sort of projection then it turns into a more resinous skin scent, it's darker then Reflection Man which I like.

Given reflections poor performance...I could see this as a potential alternative if paired with one of the attars from Amouage, like Vanilla Barka (which I have done, and seems to be incredible!)

What if
All in all, it's a beautiful perfume that reminisces of clean white linen drying in an Alpine mountain setting. Picture a tiny water stream, grass all around, some flowers and snowy peaks all around.

It smells clean, but it's overdoses with white musk. I don't see it listed, but if someone here says it doesn't contain any, come and fight me. Physically.

To me, a very nice scent worth having, but I have a constant feeling that it got very close to what it could have been, although something's missing. I cannot say what, I cannot define it (maybe less clean linen and more herbs), but it is a "what if" for me.

Alpine mountain air in a bottle? What's that? What's that?
Anyone who has already had one or the other fragrance from the house of Tauer under his nose knows that its naming is not seldom absolutely correct. Already with "No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain" the name was program. Olfactory one was delighted by dry, spicy air, which evoked associations of desert and heat. Can Tauers latest creation, "L'Air des Alpes Suisses", also provide a fitting association for the name?

Sprayed on the back of my hand, herbaceous, green and above all spicy notes waft around me. This is accompanied by a tremendously strong powderiness, which makes my nose bite granite - in the sense of the top note. One can compare this state with various iris-heavy smells, with which the iris overruns also the nasal mucous membranes for the time being with its almost scratchy appearing cleanliness, later however is restrained by the other smells.
The situation is similar with the alpine Tauer air, which is of course not iridescent, but just as pure and clear, but in a green, typical mountain air way. The whole thing is absolutely unsweet, something goes into the astringency and gains more depth in the later course of fragrance, as the earth listed in the base note joins in. To imagine this better, I recommend to go to a rock and smell it. You'll probably notice a mineral cold, coupled with absolute cleanliness, and if you combine that impression with your scent knowledge around the already familiar green and herbaceous notes, you'll get an idea of how Tauers creation smells.

Judging by my description, some people might think that I am completely enthusiastic about this composition. But please continue reading.

It is a special fragrance that is quite different from other green fragrances. It is also a fragrance that lasts a long time on the skin and knows how to communicate with its surroundings, while the wearer does not register this at all. As a wearer, I personally classified it as a rather quiet, almost very close scent until my family environment proved the opposite with its "friendly" messages.
Despite these two positive characteristics, which ultimately ensure that the expensive bottle is not emptied too quickly due to the economical dosage, I am sure that such a bottle will not move in with me. My expectations were too high, which was fuelled both by "No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain" and by "Collectible PHI - Une Rose de Kandahar" - two olfactory revelations par excellence. Tauers alpine breeze unfortunately does not trigger anything in me, even if it takes on an interesting and above all new shape, which I have never heard before. And if I asked myself already with the Moroccan desert air, to what extent this is bearable in the everyday life, then I stand also with "L'Air des Alpes Suisses" before that problem definition. In "No. 02 - L'Air du Désert Marocain" the answer was in the form of a "just so", while I attribute "L'Air des Alpes Suisses" briefly and concisely with a "not portable".

I beg your pardon, Mr. Tauer.

A cool breeze that's picked up bits of various woods and greens and floral scents. Soapy lavender, a melange of herbs & spices, woody base.

Tauer fragrances are innovative and imaginative. They are also conceptual. This continues the form. Imagine herbal aquatic and you have it.

Smells like spending a sunny day surrounded by flowers and herbs on a mountain meadow - I would rather call this art than a perfume... :)

Opening and mid similar to Reflection (45) in that clean - dusty powdery note. Pleasing, sweet, crowd safe. Sadly, a very cloying drydown.
