Sensual Tuberose

On the opposite side of Frammenti, which is not necessarily my favourite, Sensual Tubereuse is absolutely spectacular! Catnip to my nose! Divine!! True to its name, a very sensual smelling scent! For those of us who enjoy a bubblegumy tuberose balanced with fruits and spices, those who love a floral forward fragrance with powdery, exotic, creamy, peachy nuances, Sensual Tuberose should be a no brainer. It’s perfection in a bottle! I find this scent so appealing to my personal taste, so smooth and creamy, smelling so rich, nuanced and elegant, so classy and delicious that I am going to get a bottle right away. I have a few other fragrances from Bois 1920 but this became instantly my favourite from their releases. Not that I have tested everything they offer. I knew they create high quality products since I visited a few summers ago their store in Florence, but this tuberose centric perfume exceeding my expectations! Smells absolutely mesmerising! For all tuberose lovers, this is a must try! Being an older release, the retail price of Sensual Tuberose is lower than most of designers marks these days. You get niche quality, made in Italy perfume, with exquisite packaging and bottle for less money than you’d pay for a Gucci or a Givenchy! Fantastic value for money! Lasts about 7 hours on skin with moderate sillage. Not bad for a floral scent.

Gorgeous. Slightly animalic and at the same time bubblegum-y, bright, modern, neon tuberose. Deadly attractive. I instantly see a neon magenta or neon lilac bikini on the tanned skin of a young Brigitte Bardot look-alike if there is one as stunning as she was back then. Apart from the gorgeous creamy tuberose, the notes of coconut, coriander, and peach are very prominent. There's a very slight touch of powderiness in it (or rather a velvety, smooth overall feel). I do get some Fracas vibe from this but still, there is no other perfume like Sensual Tuberose, it's just different. Crazily bright, fresh and a tad animalic, narcotic, slightly bimbo-ish, but not vulgar, it reeks of quality ingredients, and the composition is blissfully masterful. ST is a predatress with a mellow voice, smokey cat eyes and full lips, looking innocent and very feminine. Amazing sillage and longevity.

Gummy tuberose & coconut cream, gets sweeter and a touch powdery as it dries down. This isn't beachy; feels waxy and sticky, like wearing the perfume in linoleum form. I see the comparison to Polianthes, fitting because this reminds me of that a lot. I'd say Polianthes feels more pollenated to this one's waxiness. Perfect all year round, I'd wear this indoors during winter for a little pick me-up. Heavy projection, enters a room before you do and lingers when you leave.

The opening resembles Fracas. It is not identical, but has a shadow to the Queen of Tuberose, Fracas. I like it and its beautiful in the opening. silage low to med. Longivity is Medium, good about 4 hours. Edit: The more I wear this the more it resembles fracas. Very tuberose and a beautiful perfume. I cant pick out the notes its a soft spice very much the base of Bois1920 line. For Fracas lovers its a nice alternative.

Bois 1920 Sensual Tuberose no. 0823/1920 bottle. Its a gorgeous tuberose ceamy coconut scent that leans exotic but not beachy. If you have issues with Fracas for one reason or another this is similar but her own identity. Its lush, sillage is moderate and lonjevity is also moderate. I enjoyed this from first spray and its a solid buy. Drydown gets a little sexy but its easy to handle! Very very good.
