Vanilla Absolue

Tauer Perfumes · Parfum / Extrait · 2025

≈ $185 · 50ml · approx. retail

One of two 2025 'Absolue' releases, built around a natural vanilla CO2 extract paired with spice and dried fruit. Rosy geranium and dried fruit lead into a heart of dark vanilla, rose and dried tobacco leaf, resting on labdanum, patchouli and balsamic resins. Warm and textured rather than conventionally sweet.
