Nothing in the world of perfumery can beat tuberose in its surprisingly creamy and carnal scent. This flower is filled with contradictions, bringing together freshness and velvety opulence. Its charm also lies in the passionate feel it adds to the fragrance.
As intense as a note could be, its scent is so powerful that it can fill a room and leave traces for days after picking. To extract 200 grams of tuberose absolute, over 1200 kilos of this mysterious natural treasure are picked while still in the bud and left to wilt and give off their full spectrum of scent. That’s in fact what makes the tuberose one of the most expensive natural raw materials to be used in fragrances.
With this in mind, finding a synthetized version of this swooning note in commercial perfumes comes as no surprise. However, we’ve gathered a list of luxury fragrances that will immerse you in the charm of tuberose. From classics such as Givenchy’s Amarige to more modern scents such as Bvlgari’s new Splendida Tubereuse Mystique, join us below to check them out and pick your favorite – or favorites!
