The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Vanilla Flash by Tauerville was launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Andy Tauer, known for his innovative compositions that blend familiar notes into something distinctively evocative. This fragrance opens with a burst of vanilla, which quickly melds with tobacco to create an intriguing tension between sweetness and earthiness. The rose adds a delicate floral touch, while patchouli and balsamic accords contribute warmth and depth, making it feel both comforting and complex.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays — the initial vanilla burst is intense but fades quickly. The tobacco and balsamic base notes emerge after about half an hour, providing a warm and lingering presence throughout the day.
