Notes: apricot, peach, rose, white flowers, patchouli, musk
Being the sixth Tauerville release, Andy Tauer decides to shake things up a bit. So, instead of just focusing on one component, Fruitchouli Flash focuses on two: patchouli and fruits (or, to be precise, fruits from Prunus – a genus of trees and shrubs, which also yields nectarine, cherry and plum).
However, ultimately, it's more about the patchouli and florals, especially once the fruity top notes have settled down. Resting on a musk base, with animalic nuances, the florals possess a syrupy sweetness that's redolent of an amber accord. This aspect works well with the patchouli, but it quickly becomes apparent that Fruitchouli Flash is very similar to the drydown of L'Air du Désert Marocain (albeit simplified and oakmoss-free).
With low sillage and average lasting power, such familiarity makes it rather difficult to view Fruitchouli Flash as a unique creation in its own right – more an old olfactory idea recycled and slightly tweaked.
