Vanilla for us non vanilla fans

I'm not into vanilla but I was curious what Andy Tauer could do with it and I was not disappointed! This is dry spiced, resinous tobacco vanilla. Just a hint of ambery sweetness. Unique in the endless pool of vanillas. Side note - I've seen people call this redundant to Phi Une Rose De Kandahar and I have to say, are your noses broken? I'm wearing one on either wrist and they are incredibly different. They do share that Tauer tobacco vanilla base, but they are taken in totally different directions.

Vainilla con corazón de rosa

Vanilla Absolue de Andy Tauer es un ámbar profundo que sorprende y me resulta un perfume muy atractivo. La vainilla no es la protagonista, sino que se mezcla con un cocktail especiado de canela, comino y pimienta.
Es una vainilla natural, agreste y picante. Se percibe también un tabaco seco y una sutil rosa que se va abriendo a medida que seca la fragancia.
El perfume se asienta en una base de resinas, pachulí y ládano, con ese toque "sucio" tan característico de Tauer. Sin embargo, en el secado final, las notas se suavizan y se endulzan ligeramente, integrándose con la rosa para una fase final más cálida.

Este perfume se siente redondo y bonito. De los que abrazan.
Al final del secado, tiende a parecerse mucho a Phi Une Rose de Kandahar, lo que le da una dimensión adicional. Es como si fuera su contraparte, la inversión de su pirámide olfativa. La versión de otoño de éste.

En resumen, se trata de un perfume oriental, ambarado y especiado con una vainilla muy natural con carácter y una evolución muy interesante.
Desde lo ambarado-especiado hacia lo floral-resinoso.

Es una fragancia con carácter nocturno, algo oscura y densa, para clima fresco, siendo el otoño su estación. A pesar de eso, es un perfume que no tiene una estela agobiante por lo que no resulta pesado.
Muy gustoso de llevar e imprescindible si te gusta el ADN de Tauer.

Un millón de gracias, Esther, por darme la oportunidad de catar ésta novedad!

The quiet magic of real vanilla

The essence of vanilla is exactly what the title of the new fragrance from Tauer Perfumes promises: Vanilla Absolue. Although "new" is only partly true, it is rather a homage to Vanilla Flash by Tauerville, a now discontinued brand by perfumer Andy Tauer. I will therefore also discuss here whether Vanilla Absolue can keep up with the masterpiece Vanilla Falsh, even trumps it or has nothing in common at all.

The fragrance starts directly with an oriental cloud of spices, from which cinnamon, clove and cardamom clearly stand out for me. After a few seconds, a rosy note becomes noticeable, giving the opening a floral softness and maturity. Personally, I hardly notice the dried fruits mentioned in the top note, or only with a lot of imagination.
Shortly after the "spice jungle" becomes quieter, the eponymous vanilla comes to the fore. But don't worry, it is neither cloying nor artificial, a trap that vanilla fragrances unfortunately often fall into. We all know at least one fragrance where this is the case ;). In Vanilla Absolue, the vanilla note is based on a natural CO₂ extract from real vanilla pods, which is probably also the reason why it smells so authentic, sophisticated and unsweet here. As the fragrance progresses, a gentle tobacco note joins in, deepening the composition once again. The spices and rose remain, but recede into the background, while the base becomes woodier and more balsamic. Very cozy, very elegant.

But I don't want to keep you in suspense any longer. Let's now compare Vanilla Absolue and Vanilla Flash.
I wore both fragrances at the same time - one on the left, the other on the right. The difference? You can hardly smell it! If you sniff closely, Vanilla Absolue may seem a little more resinous and balsamic in the base, which gives it more depth, but these are nuances at most. Vanilla Absolue lasted about 10 hours on me, while Vanilla Flash left after about 8.5 hours. Again, I don't notice any differences in the sillage, so they are clearly noticeable without being annoying.

The fragrance should appeal to all those who miss Vanilla Flash and are finally looking for a worthy replacement, as well as those who want to experience vanilla in an unsweet, authentic version. And, of course, all fans of the typical Tauer DNA, because Andy Tauer's signature is unmistakable here and runs through the entire fragrance.
For me, Vanilla Absolue is an absolute winter and fall fragrance and is cozy, warm, enveloping but certainly never boring. Unisex? Definitely. Age limit? None.

This fragrance will definitely accompany me on many cold days this year and maybe soon you too?
