What does fashion have to do with perfume? Quite a lot.

In this episode, I look at the strange world of fashion imagery — clothes that are spectacular, artistic and fascinating, but not necessarily made to be worn — and ask whether the same thing is happening in perfumery.

Perfume fairs and stores are full of beautiful bottles, elaborate presentations and carefully constructed worlds. But sometimes the shell becomes more important than what is inside. A perfume may be impressive, artistic and attention-grabbing — and still not be something you actually want to live with.

I also tell the story of a woman I once worked with whose perfume announced her arrival before she even entered the room. The fragrance was beautiful, but there was simply too much of it: instead of her wearing the perfume, the perfume was wearing her.

So the take-home question is very simple:

Will I wear this perfume — or will this perfume wear me?

The Price of Easy

Why do so many modern perfumes feel different, yet somehow strangely similar?

In this episode, I look at how perfumery arrived here. Synthetic molecules such as Ambroxan and Iso E Super transformed perfumery — and I use them myself and love them. They are powerful, stable, reliable and wonderful to work with. But mass production, globalization, cost, availability and regulation have gradually pushed much of the industry toward the same highly efficient solutions.

Naturals are different. Rose, jasmine, cistus, labdanum and other materials can be expensive, variable, difficult and sometimes frustrating. But they also bring friction, complexity and surprise.

I talk about why my own perfumes use both worlds — Ambroxan and cistus, Iso E and jasmine absolute, synthetics and large amounts of naturals — and why that matters.

If modern perfumery sometimes feels too polished or predictable, there are two ways out: look backwards to the treasures of the past, or look sidewards toward independent perfumers who can still afford to make things differently.

cheap DUPES

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 11:09

DUPE- the echo of a perfume that has been created by somebody and you only smell the echo.

A dupe begins with something that already exists. In this episode I talk about dupes, about ticktokers hoping around and youtubers talking and the race to the bottom and the overall confusion in the perfume world.

With a take home message for the perfume lover.

Open Path

Episode 5

Wednesday, September 2, 2026 • Duration 11:50

In this episode, I start with the idea of walking without knowing exactly where I want to go. A video about painting leads me to think about perfume, process, and the freedom that comes when we stop forcing a finished result too early. I talk about why creating perfumes is different from painting, how time and maturation change a fragrance, and why sometimes the best way to visit a perfumery is without the goal of buying anything at all.

The human task.

Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 11:10

In this episode, I explore what differentiation means in perfumery. Is it the bottle, the packaging, the marketing. Or is it something deeper? I talk about creativity, trends, independent thinking, and why finding something truly different often requires looking beyond what algorithms and social media place in front of us.

The conversation also touches on AI and large language models. Not as a threat, but as a fascinating new medium that raises an important question:

If AI becomes one of our main ways of accessing knowledge, what will that mean for originality, creativity, and the messages we create?

Whether you're passionate about perfume, interested in creativity, or simply curious about how we make choices in an increasingly algorithmic world, I hope this episode gives you something to think about the next time you discover a new fragrance.

Enjoy listening.

When Materials Say No

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 • Duration 15:09

In this episode, Andy reflects on perfume creation, raw materials, and resonance.

A leathery orange blossom idea becomes the starting point for a larger question: what happens when a perfume is created slowly, directly, and personally . And what happens when a so-called niche brand is built from a concept, a brief, a portfolio, and a creative director?

Andy looks at the difference between making perfume as an interaction with raw materials and launching perfume as a market-ready collection. At the heart of the episode is resonance: the bridge between creator, material, brand, and bottle. When that bridge is alive, a perfume can carry something that goes beyond concept. When it is missing, even a polished perfume may feel strangely disconnected.

Words- The Truth Is in Your Nose

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, August 12, 2026 • Duration 19:36

Have you ever bought a perfume because of a poetic description, and then smelled something completely different?

In this episode of The Air Between Us, Andy Tauer reflects on the words surrounding perfume: notes, allergen lists, marketing texts, reviews, social media language, and brand storytelling. He explores how words can guide us, but also mislead us, shape our expectations, and sometimes put us in a box before we even smell.

From vanillin on an allergen label to the emotional power of a perfume name, this episode is an invitation to read perfume language critically — and to trust your own nose.

The truth is not in the words. It is in your nose.
