64 Reykjavik Distillery Landi EDP Review

 

When NST announced the community project of wearing a Nordic perfume, I had to go through my unworn and not reviewed bag to find 64 Reykjavik Distillery Landi EDP. I am not exactly sure when I had acquired this decant from STC bur it was probably a while back and it's not on the STC website anymore.

After spending some time with Google and seeing what information and reviews there are, I came up mostly empty handed with Landi. Yes, it's a brand and perfume that's pretty much unknown. Whatever reviews that I could find was pretty much gleaned from the perfume's website and those were pretty much one line or a couple of words. That doesn't tell me much or leave much of an impression.

Landi is something marketed towards men but I think that Landi is more androgynous type of perfume. I find it to be pretty close to Andy Tauer's L'Air des Alpes Suisses or it at least has that vibe of that with a hint of Les Annees 25 BIS. Landi at first smells quite a bit like many other types of easy to find colognes but shifts to something a little more wood like and a little mossy but I can't really decipher individual notes. I find Landi to be pleasant and maybe something I have smelled a few times before. Lasting power on my skin is probably around four and a half hours. All I know is that I am not going to be seeking this one out. One reason is that it's a little too much cash for what it is and the second is that it's pretty hard to find. I'm not game anymore to really seek out the incredibly hard to find stuff anymore.

Andy Tauer L'Air des Alpes Suisses EDP Review

It looks like Andy Tauer might have discontinued another one. This time in the form of Une Rose Chypree. I'm not really convinced that he discontinued both Une Rose Chypree or Une Rose Vermeille. Partly because of Covid-19 and it's making shipping a real bear to deal with. I hope that he really hasn't and maybe someone out there has the straight answer. But finally I get motivated enough to actually review a perfume. Part of the reason is that the decant I had had only one or two measly wearings before it was all gone. I think that either STC or TPC changed their decants and evaporation is a bigger problem now.

L'Air des Alpes Suisses is definitely a Tauer perfume because of the Tauer base. Hints of pine, lavander and a whisper of ambergris but it's not a heavy perfume. Nor is it in the likes of the generic colognes that I have smelled a million times before. For a while, I couldn't put my finger on why it smelled so familiar. It's similar to Les Annees 25 (not the BIS version). Pine isn't a not that's used too often in perfumery. If it ever is, pine takes on that pine car freshener or Pine-Sol. I really do enjoy L'Air des Alpes Suisses and not because it is from Andy Tauer and I am a fangirl of his work; I just enjoy this one. The lasting power on my skin is about 6 hours. For me, this would be great on hot and humid days or just plain, old humid days. Suisses is definitely full bottle worthy to me.
