Incense Flash by Tauerville

*****
Year: 2015

Notes: Boswellia Serrata frankincense, leather, ambergris, musky woods
Within less than the space of a year, Tauerville has launched four fragrances. The latest one is Incense Flash, but it seems to be a budget-priced rehash of one of Andy Tauer's earlier works, Incense Extrême. Disregarding the affordable price point, one gets the impression that it's pretty much a redundant affair.

Coming across as a pared-down version of Incense Extrême, with leather nuances and a less rich frankincense premise, Incense Flash leaves one quite underwhelmed. It's clean, vaguely resinous, and harbours a pleasantly sweet, animalic and woody muskiness in the base. With a more natural-smelling aroma, as opposed to smoky or liturgical, it's too airy and provides no new olfactory insights into this resin.

With insubstantial longevity and sillage, it's sadly a forgettable offering.
