La Tulipe by Byredo

*****
Year: 2010

Notes: rhubarb, freesia, cyclamen, tulip, vetiver, blond woods
La Tulipe is a modestly clean and linear rendition of tulip, which strives to come across as creamy but ends up smelling like cheap scented body lotion.

Like everything else from this house, one has concluded that Byredo is simply a Frédéric Malle impersonator – attempting to capitalise on the popularity of this French niche house, by way of a similar conceptual packaging design (as of recently, Byredo's flat black caps are now semioval, probably to quell such accusations).

Both staying power and projection are moderate.
