Tuberoza

If Tuberoza had a color, it would be a mixture of yellows and golds. Know why we like this one? Because unlike most tuberose fragrances that try to restrain the natural fleshiness of tuberose, Tuberoza sets it free to be its gorgeous, sunny self. Framed by sweet orangey notes, ylang, and honeyed orange blossom, the tuberose smells magnificent here: a flashy explosion of creamy, tropical sweetness, with an undercurrent of fuel, banana custard, and rubber.

This is tuberose with all the lights turned on. No effort has been made to dim its naturally bright, loud character. Instead, tropical ylang and gardenia coax it out further into the sun, encouraging an expansion of its creamy, sweet excesses. Amber and marigold, as bright as a newly-minted gold coin, glitters underneath, and in the base, the scent gets a double helping of cream with the addition of a full-fat sandalwood and pearly white musk. Put this on and gasp with pleasure as Tuberoza billows softly across your skin like a giant, golden nuclear mushroom cloud. Its bolshy, take-no-prisoners attitude is refreshing, and the end result totally worth the ride.
