Rose Absolue

2025 is turning into a banner year for this house as I’m wearing another beautiful scent from Andy Tauer. I only wish he would stop making me lust after another perfume I can’t afford. Below a reviewer mentions Oud Satin Mood, and I agree that their are the similarities in the opening— but instead of oud it’s a smooth, natural ambergris that forms a structure for the other notes to mingle. And what a gathering! Yes to jammy, but in this fruit compote I also pick up citrus. Absolutely stunning. Fit for a diva—-or a weekend kicking back in leisure wear.

Instant classic, I suppose. High impact rose, it's making me emotional, nostalgic. Juicy, syrupy, red red rose. The amber accord has an almost leathery feel, maybe even like a fruit leather. I am getting a lot of geranium too, verging slightly on that greenness that reminds me of natural bug spray. But really and truly rose is the star and as someone below said so well, it's like all the other notes are floating around the heart of this red juicy rose. Bought a full bottle swiftly, perhaps impulsively. I love her.

It’s a very beautiful jammy, fruity, ambery rose. This is similar to oud satin mood but more fruitier. It dries down to some dark sweet syrupy rose. The fruitiness remains until the end. Gorgeous. I’ve tried everything from Portrait of a lady, Radical Rose, Atomic Rose, Rose Prick etc. this is my favorite rose fragrance ever. Full bottle worthy for sure. Longevity is incredible. I sprayed it on at 9pm Saturday and could still smell it by the next day at 5pm Sunday. 9.6/10

A confident, put together man (like me) can wear this, thus my unisex rating. But... I really love smelling this on a woman more than on myself. Can I wear it? Confidently, yes. My decant is bound to run out, and I will need to decide if I buy another decant or a full bottle. But I do want to keep this handy as its a truly beautiful rose, with a touch of fruitiness. And I secretly hope my girlfriend will decide its hers.

This is lovely, the best rose ever. It is not simialar to oud satin mood or Atomic rose, those are way too sweet while this one is a little bit sour. Beautiful, highly recommend!
