Tuberose Le Soir

Very grateful to my darling husband who had the inspired idea to give me this as a present for our wedding day. :-) This is Fracas but better. It lacks that sharp, slightly sour note that appears in Fracas after a few hours of wearing it. Le soir is totally delicious, expensive, elegant and exclusive to the max. I see this paired with an Hermès scarf and high heels.Confident, making the usual suspects (brands) seem slightly commomplace in comparision.Tom Ford, for example, has got a exclusive collection as well as the Black Orchid and so forth. Some of those fragrances are amazing, but still, not like this. A bit more harsh and rough I would say. This, as wellas le jour, is more finished. I want this as my signature scent, but I doubt I can make the bottle last to our next weddin day...it is certainly not cheap, but you can smell where that cost comes from! Total CLASS! I LOVE IT! <3 Update, April 26, 2018 This is the lovliest, classiest most luxurious fragrance I have ever worn. Stays on forever and has just the right amount of sillage. Noticable but never too much. LOVE! I am very surprised that there are so few reviews.....

What a gorgeous perfume! I blind bought based off the notes and was in love at first sniff. It's elegant, classy, but not old-fashioned. It is a beautiful creamy tuberose that dries down to a warm ambery vanilla without being gourmand. The vanilla base reminds me a bit of the way JHAG's Vanilla Vibes dries down, which I love. Although it's "Le Soir", it would wear this any time of day, all year 'round, for a casual meet up to a nice date or even wedding. The creaminess makes me think it would be lovely in cold weather, wearing a sweater to a coffee date. I'm in love with it. Lasting power is great as I can still smell it after the work day. Now the question is - Is it worth the money? On Canada's Sephora, Aerin fragrances for 50ml run over $200 incl tax. On the Estee Lauder website, it's a whoppin' $350! As for me, I got this second hand for half Sephora's price and 3.5x less than Estee Lauder's. I would not purchase this at retail but definitely yes if I could find it second hand again. It's beautifully done, but not groundbreaking at niche pricing for a non-niche house.

I love this scent only because it reminds me of my mom. I don’t reach for it often, I found it too grown for me. But because it was a bday gift I keep it. There’s no jasmin in this perfume but I still can smell it, or perhaps it is the tuberose that I smell. I get the vanilla which is not sweet at all in my opinion. The floral notes are very potent so if you’re not a big fan of white floral this is definitely not for you. The mandarin doesn’t last long you can only smell it once you spray. I like mixing it with Twilly d’Hermes to add a little more depth and it works pretty well. Overall very elegant, sophisticated and feminine perfume but more for a woman who is in her mid thirties.

As the name suggests, this is a tuberose perfume. Rather tamed so if you like loud tuberoses, this probably isn’t gonna rock your world. However, this is a very pretty, elegant and easy to wear. For white flower lovers, it’s fairly safe to blind buy. The performance is average, considering the price but I digress, just because it’s extremely well done and balanced. It’s a love for me. Btw, this is also a very wearable day time perfume and not too over powering.

Milky sandalwood with a nice tuberose on it. Simple, but very elegant and divine. Very similar to the likes of Piano Santal, or Sana Jardin's Sandalwood Temple, but with the addition of a nice, clean tuberose (as the one present in Nasomatto Narcotic Venus, or Frederic Malle Carnal Flower)
