Which Should You Buy?
BDK's Tabac Rose is a controversial one-off for many. While some find it to be a masterfully blended, sensual delight, an equally vocal contingent are disappointed by the missing tobacco and its overtly sweet, 'jammy rose' character. Try before you buy, as this juice isn't for everyone.
This one's a proper Tauer, polarising opinions on whether it lives up to its 'Vanilla Absolue' name. Expect a sophisticated, complex amber-vanilla that isn't for the gourmand lovers, but a rich, resinous, and subtly spicy experience that demands patience.
