Comment: Tuberose is part of the Sotto la Luna Collection
As the second instalment in the Sotto la Luna Collection, Tuberose is much more approachable than Gardenia. However, consequently, Tuberose is just too safe for its own good.
Comparing the notes of both, they seem to share a very similar olfactory structure – light spices, green notes, a white floral core with some rose, and an unobtrusive woody base paired with either some vanilla, amber or a synthetic musk. In the case of Tuberose, some ylang-ylang has been incorporated to accentuate the tuberose. Personally, one couldn't detect a long-lasting presence from either of them.
Exhibiting fleeting glimpses of galbanum, in the opening, it's a pretty yet innocuous affair – and when compared to the often cited tuberose classics, even more so. With a Tauerade-infused drydown that's not too remote from the later stages of Gardenia, Tuberose is just another creamy white floral fragrance.
Sillage is moderate, with average longevity.
