Tuberose Flash

I really like this but I love intense spicey fragrances so you have been warned. I couldnt help be struck by its similarity to The Different Company Jasmin de Nuit. That same nose tingling spiciness. Not surprisingly tuberose is the first most evident note but I dont think the jasmine or neroli are far behind. I dont get any indoles which is a relief. I think the jasmin along with the neroli make this an intense fragrance with the benzoin and labdanum softening and sweetening everything whilst still retaining that refreshing fizziness. The fizziness wanes after half an hour and your left with a sexy, delicious, easy to wear tuberose that stays closer to your skin. Id say it was unisex. I like the tuberose note but its not always easy to wear as it is such an intense potentially migraine inducing note. It can easily be overwhelming. Andy has created another wearable masterpiece. I get moderate sillage and longevity but bear in mind my skin gobbles up scent.

This is a gorgeous, incense/ tuberose fragrance, with kind of a similar tuberose to the one in Fracas. The dry, smoky resins are a great support to the heady, menthol-y tuberose. I love all of the Flash series (although I'm sad the Incense Flash has too much vetiver for me - just a personal dislike of that note) but all of the series are strong, impactful and more complex than the names would suggest - they feature the ingredient they're named for, but are not simple or one-note but surprising takes on the ingredient. Plus it gives me a reason to have another tuberose perfume!

This is a beautiful tuberose fragrance. I have Moon Bloom and Truth or Dare already but I think my wardrobe can handle one more tuberosecentric scent. I would describe it as jammy tuberose in the same way that Tauer's Rose Vermeille is a jammy rose. It has an almost carmelized hint of sweetness about it without being too sweet. The dry down is almost chalky which I experience with Truth or Dare as well. Maybe from the benzoin? It isn't terribly complex but it's a novel and pleasant take on tuberose.

Tank Battle’s older sibling who drinks too much and swears a lot, and I’m obsessed. A shot of benzoin bourbon out of the bottle and a heavy draw of labdanum smoke, and then slides easy into creamy tuberose. Sweet and lazy, it lingers close for the evening, a faint breath of patchouli keeping it just a little dirty. Sexy as hell.

Tuberose Flash is a very buttery tuberose. Ttuberose with crème brulee and a drizzle of liqueur, plus a hint of patchouli in the base. It's really growing on me with later explorations. Maybe it's the warmer weather that brings out the best in this fragrance. This is diva and grand dame material.
