Description "When I find time, I love to hike in the mountains. Starting in the valley with its lush, green meadows, the dark fir forests with the perfume of warm amber. L™ Air des Alpes Suisses is inspired by these moments of green, fresh, and ambery. It is a perfume that evokes my memories of wonderful days in the Alps.

The higher you hike, the more you wander to open space, with wildflowers blooming in a short mountain summer. The herbaceous, spicy perfume of the alpine grassland, with hints of lily and orchids, mixes with the fresh breeze from the rough mountain summits."
- Andy Tauer

L' Air des Alpes Suisses is an invitation to explore this wonderful scenery.

The head notes are fresh like a breeze from treeless mountain summits: rough granite ground, the cool air from the glacier, and bitter alpine herbs. The heart notes are fresh, and green, with hints of spices. Floral delicacies such as the red alpine lily, bloom on lush meadows, powdery, spicy, and green. The body notes are inspired by alpine forests on cliffy slopes: the woody warmth of timber, larch and beech, with the sweet amber perfume of dry earth in the sun.

The wild thyme and basil hit first, green and a little bitter, then the fir and birch come through like walking a shaded trail. Longevity is solid, about seven hours on my skin before it fades to a soft ambergris and tonka base.

I've been wearing this through a cold, wet spring and the fir and dried needles really do smell like a damp alpine forest after rain. The wild thyme and lavender keep it from turning heavy, and it lingers on my scarf for two days. Easily the most interesting fougère I've owned.
