Rose Flash

A Drunk Rose A perfume for a person, who was waiting for his lover on a Wooden date table with Red Roses and Dark Wine. The lover never showed up. Waiting, He becomes Drunk and from his Shaky Hands, the wine spills over the wooden table where the Roses were kept. Later, he left, keeping behind the Roses soaked in Dark Spirits. Now, if one tries to transform this story into a Perfume, it will be Rose Flash. Rose Flash, straight away starts with lush red velvety Roses. The Rose here is Jammy, Syrupy and Sweet. The entire Rose structure remains bind with Resins and Woody Notes. The later 2 never declare their own presence but give the Rose a Solid Form. At dry down, Rose Flash gives away the syrupy sweetness and starts getting tangy. I, somehow enjoy the dry down, more than the initial part. The Best part is, you are getting Andy Tauer Creation at this nominal price and belief me, you can love this one or hate it, based on you love toward Roses. But, simply, you just can not ignore it. As my personal taste goes with, I am a Rose Fanatic, but still this Rose is a bit too much and somewhat gives me a headache. N yes, you just cannot wear it and forget. It is like those demanding lovers, who will always want your attention. Not a Safe Buy. Try before you buy. Sillage: Heavy Longevity on My Skin: Approx 9 Hours Longevity on Fabric: Approx 10-12 Hours Occasion: A Romantic Date with Formal Wear on a Fall Night. Or, on an Indian Marriage Dinner Party. Yes, I go with shravanevana. It somehow reminds me also of the Rose Water Soaked Indian Meetha Paans. Definitely wear it in open places. Rating: 8.5+.5=9/10 (.5 extra after the full wear in open places) Update (after a week): Last day, I wore it, on a Garden party and Wow, it works amazing in open places. The sweetness reduces to mach extent. Instead a tart spiciness (pepper?) starts showing up. I cant stop myself sniffing. Awesome experience. Moving it to my Love category, with .5 more grace marks.

I love the Tauer line, but I hesitated trying the "flash" series thinking they were "lesser" in some way. They are fabulous so far. Thinking the rose would leave me lukewarm, I was really pleasantly surprised by the depth, heft, and richness of this deep, jammy, sour-sweet, dark beefy rose (not a dewy spring rose). There is a slight lift at the beginning, and then it becomes fairly linear for a while--lush rich, resinous rose, the way a rose, gothic, heavy, "should" smell like in our imagination. It does veer sweet, so those who like "lemony" notes, dewey fresh softness, or more peppery may not find this to be "their rose"--though it does go through those notes initially, and, if you bury nose to wrist, you can find them. While this isn't a real rose--it's a real rose on steroids under the heat. It's a hyper-realistic rose, where every lemony aspect, dark syrupy sweetness, and peppery wood note converges in a swirl of deep reds and purples and trails off eventually into incense. So, while they're not the "same"--Malle's Portrait of a Lady, and Serge Lutens' Rose de Nuit are similar enough that if you like either one of those, you may like this. Conversely, if those price points leave you reeling, then this rose may delight. I have a lot of the Nuit, but my POAL is running out. When it goes, I'm probably going to stick with Tauer. The differences are there, but the genre is so similar, and I enjoy them both, that Tauer takes my purse. Also, I like Andy Tauer and his work. Silage and longevity are fantastic--really great quality, and another reason to love the more affordable Rose Flash.

The creation of Rose Flash has to be one of the more subversive acts in perfume history. Tauer himself has described his desire to make a perfume which upends commercialist patterns of wealth-based status acquisition and I think this was the very perfume he alluded to. How so? It is an incredible fragrance in terms of sillage and longevity, complex, rich, beyond satisfying even to the most rose-starved of noses. It is not just Turkish delight, it is what Turkish delight smells like in the hand of a witch to a freezing, hungry child. The ingredients are impeccable, framing real rose absolue. But: because of its low price, budget-friendly brand, simple packaging, and lack of an elaborate, market-researched backstory, it will likely never attract the frantic fan base that much lesser rose fragrances have acquired. This despite the coy urgings of Tauer to "Trust your nose." If Tauer had tripled the price and called it something like Rose D'une Courtisane Triste or Cadeau de la Sorcière du Nord , the reviews would be raving and everyone would feel they have to have it. But I and my humble little wallet am grateful that he created this treasure precisely as he did.

Let me preface by saying I tested this thoroughly during late spring - early summer, after getting samples direct from Tauer, and I sort of hated it at the time. It smelled like jammy rose, but slightly rotting fruit at the same time. I fell in love with Vanilla Flash though and I continue to love that one even more, so I decided to retest Rose Flash in the winter and give it a proper chance. Well, I just sprayed it all over my arm a few hours ago, and I could not get enough. My skin is reacting completely differently or my nose is. Now, it is like rose and expensive niche candy (with something that brightens it up top, but can't pinpoint?) and that very signature ashy note I've come to associate with many Andy Tauer fragrances. I don't want to say it smells like PoaL, but it is like the same woman might wear it for a completely different occasion, powdery rose. To me, it has some complexity, but doesn't change (which has been my experience with all of the Flashs so far), so now I am on the hunt for a bottle and praying my nose doesn't change again because for now it is a dream I am enjoying quite a lot
