Not as good as the first one
Scented expectations are often shattered. I adore Rose Flash and Tauer. Though there are many perfumes of his I don't like, I was sure I love would the vanilla coming out of Tauerville. I have been looking for the perfect vanilla: not too sweet but boozy and strong. SDV by Guerlain has almost the perfect smell but no sillage while things like Comptoir Sud Pacifique have no lasting power.
It is surprising that Vanilla Flash is what Andy would make for himself as this is quite feminine. I am the biggest sharer of scents, not believing in traditional male and female categories, but sometimes things are too sweet for a man to wear. This is one example.
Now to the vanilla itself: it is rich, sweet and overpowering, but there is quite a bit of spice in there so it smells like a fragrance full of different notes instead of a pure vanilla. I would classify this as an amber fragrance. Vanilla is a supporting player.
It smells almost exactly like Mirroir des Majestes by Mugler, which is great because that one is rare and expensive while Vanilla Flash hits the spot in terms of price. It also smells a lot like Odd Fellow's Bouquet with the whole sweet tobacco thing going on. I would dare say this could also take the place of Tobacco Vanille by Ford but it does not have as much of a tobacco note.
The power, both lasting and wafting, is superb. I am glad I got it and will enjoy wearing it but I don't think this is the perfect vanilla I have been looking for.
