Notes: Calabrian bergamot, pink pepper, green leaves, Indian tuberose, heliotrope, coconut, Siamese benzoin, amber, cashmeran
Comment: Tubéreuse is part of Les Nombres d'Or Collection
Tubéreuse starts off with a green, almost aldehydic, astringency. However, after several minutes, this subsides to reveal the true nature of the composition – a sweet, buttery and warm blend of tuberose, heliotrope, coconut, benzoin and amber.
While it isn't as powdery as originally expected, it still smells more conventional than it tries to make out – so much that one can't see much justification in acquiring Tubéreuse over, say, Robert Piquet's Fracas. With that said, it's probably best suited for tuberose aficionados.
