Tuberose

Tuberose smells creamy, heady, and almost electric, with white petals, hot skin, camphor, coconut facets, and a narcotic sweetness that blooms after dark. It can be buttery, green, mentholated, or lushly indolic, but it always arrives with volume. In perfume it dominates white floral, floriental, tropical, and vintage glamorous families, often turning a composition plush and dramatic. Tuberose can read bridal or dangerous depending on what surrounds it. It is monumental in Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower, where green freshness cuts through its fleshiness, and in Robert Piguet Fracas, the classic tuberose statement that made excess feel elegant and unforgettable.
