Description
ROSE Absolue by Tauer Perfumes presents a rich and expressive take on the rose, building upon the beloved Rose Flash from Tauerville with added depth. It opens with a bright, gourmand flash of fruity berries, sparkling citrus, and soft spices, immediately establishing a vibrant character. The fragrance quickly blooms into a velvety heart of luxurious rose absolute, maintaining its prominent presence throughout. It then settles into a warm, embracing base of amber, soft woods, resins, and ambergris, creating a bold, elegant, and unmistakably Tauer signature. This scent is known for its deep, natural color due to a high concentration of natural ingredients, particularly Bulgarian rose absolute, so it's best to avoid spraying on light-colored fabrics.
