Tuberose Le Jour

Such a fantastic and underrated perfume. So underrated and not talked about, that YouTube barely has any reviews on it. In my opinion it’s a hidden gem. I usually don’t like the note of tuberose at all, and this is the only tuberose fragrance I own since I love it so much. It starts with a blast of tuberose mixed with Jasmin and orange flower, but if you wait for the dry down (about and hour or so) ohhh.. that’s where the magic happens. when the cashmere wood and cedar wood kick in, it becomes floral, airy, youthful, crisp and ethereal. All and all it’s a beautiful and elegant white floral perfume that fits all ages. Very very pricy but in my opinion worth the price. One of the best from the house of Aerin and performance is great too (as opposed to the rest of Aerin fragrances with the translucent bottle).

I'd call this perfume a woody tuberose scent in the same vein as Estée Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia, but without the gardenia note and a touch more woodiness like Tubéreuse Nue by Tom Ford. There's a hint of neroli and orange blossom at the top too that lends some citrus sweetness and tartness, but it isn't a dominant note here. This is first and foremost a lovely and non-indolic jasmine with incredible longevity and moderate-strong sillage. I'd recommend it as a scent that one could wear for a cocktail party or an early dinner. It has sunset vibes for some weird reason to me. Maybe like the sweet flowers on the branches closing their buds on the trees at night.

This is an absolutely stunning light tuberose, so ultra feminine, delicate and bridal. You know that tuberose can be very heavy and headache inducing (for example as the sister Tuberose le soir of Aerin). Tuberose le joir is an exception. Light for everyday use and sensual for a date night. If you know Chanel Gardenia from les exclusifs - the way the Chanel feminity is shining through - this Aerin will give you a similar vibe. I've seen many similar smelling (more expensive) brands launching something similar, but Aerin is crafted to a perfection.

You can trust Olivier Cresp to deliver the goods and he did this time again! It is a stunning composition, very floral, clean, realistic and natural. It feel as if he captured the essence of orange blossom and tuberose, and let them honor each other (the tuberose is definately main character though). Aerin and Olivier is a match made in the floral heavens.

I don't think it should be as ridiculously expensive as it is, BUT - this is the best tuberose perfume I have ever smelled. I love it. I ordered a bottle from Estee Lauder online, minus 15% for signing up for their email list. It *actually* smells like tuberose, the flowers, themselves. I adore it. It's good. Very, very good.
