Tubereuse Indiana

2016 250ml Bottle reviewed. It opens with bergamot, rose and an explosion of florals. A green undertone slight camphor weaves in and out of the florals (tuberose trait) and yet.. this spicy, ylang ylang, gardenia, honeysuckle, neroli, fatty lactonic tuberose blend that gives me the most rounded, refined tropical vibe. The vanillic ambergris lends a shimmering quality to the florals and a warm mildly sweet base. I found sherapops review below closest to my wearing. This is a fragrance that has real tuberose absolute. The spicy floral melange, and the darkened red color of the perfume is indicative of pure tuberose absolute. Im sure vintage batches were probably thicker and richer with the ambergris but this is beautiful quality fragrance. Its not big and bombastic like some other sharper tuberose dominated fragrances (Carnal Flower, Fracas, Giorgio, Poison, et al were all mixed rather heavily to create that white, bright carnal tuberose facet we have come to know) TI reminds me a lot of Moon Bloom (another tuberose absolute natural) So the mystery of is this a tuberose fragrance or is it not by the reviewers on various internet outlets has been solved. It is, but in our synthetic world we now find ourselves in the question needs to be asked... when presented with the natural "real deal" can we really recognize and appreciate it after all the high tech synthetics that we find in purchasing fragrances of today? Im pleased to say, Creed is still old world luxury as far as their pre 2000 releases as well as maintaining them well for their older core enthusiasts.Sillage is low to medium and wear time 6 hrs depending on amount used. Edit: Blooms in winter. It's gorgeous.

I've been on an anamalic white floral kick! I can't get enough anamalic in my florals! Well i fell for this one. This perfume put a love spell on me. The more i wore it the more i loved it. The more i wear it the more complex it seems and the creamier it gets. The first time i smelled it i thought it smelled like a lovely lily fragrace. I was drawn to it and keep coming back. It opens with an old school vintage vibe of lily and aldehydes. Soon i can smell tuberose, it's the same green tuberose that's in carnal flower. It's not a sweet, heady, waxy thick tuberose (the type im normally drawn to) ,but it's fresh and green , i can smell the stems, watery, but constant. The ambergis joins in and oh my goodness! The ambergis is amazing! I have smelled real ambergis extract and this smells like real ambergis. It gives this perfume depth and an anamalitic feel, there's also the scent of salt that comes from the ambergis. The longer im wearing it it becomes milky, like watered Down milk, 2% instead of vitamin D. A little sweetness, not sugary candy sweet but a natural sweetness from the flowers, milk and vanilla. On my skin it has moderate to soft sillage and longevity is about 5 hours. I think this is a georgeous perfume! It's different from anything else in my wardrob and I'm blessed to own a bottle!! :)

Creed's pre-2000 releases, of the ones I have tested, have all impressed me. I am so glad that fragrances like Tubereuse Indiana, Jasmal and Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie (JIE) are still in production. Understandably, Creed has created fragrances for the new generation -- less animalic and more fruit and floral forward. Those who write off the house of Creed for being overhyped haven't sampled beauties like the above mentioned. Ladies, for a hit of old school ambergris with quality ingredients, Creed launches prior to 2000 is where it's at. With just a few notes Tubereuse Indiana delivers depth, sensuality, sophistication. The ambergris here is not as sharp as in Jasmal or JIE and feels a little rubbery, a little fatty -- dirty in an animalic way, but clean in the purest sense of the ingredient. Tuberose joins this note to create a subtly floral velvet that is rich and plush. Oh so plush and savory. This fragrance is voluptuous and rather sexy, the musky, sweet skin of a curvy woman. Tubereuse Indiana -- addictive, sophisticated bottom spanking stuff!

First of all I LOVE the house of Creed. Love them. They are hilarious, you know? But up until I tried this Tubereuse Indiana perfume, I generally do not like tuberose and what it represents in my imagination. So I came to this perfume with those prejudices. But its lovely. It's absolutely lovely. It is dirty, and so it feels dangerous to admit how much it pleases. It's gentle and lovely and pleasing. Warm and soft, powdery. Another reviewer described it as buttery. Its absolutely lovely. Who knew I could enjoy tuberose? Its surprisingly perfect. It shouldn't be a surprise because everything by Creed is perfect, but it is perfect. 10/10 (Decant from Royalty Scents)

I think this is such a beautiful and unique perfume. It's been one of my favorites for years. It does not smell like tuberose though. It smells like Lily's and ambergis. There is a slight natural sweetness to it . it smells different than any floral perfume i have smelled. The dry down in similar to Lily's & Spice dry down. I'm obsessed with this. It does garner lots of compliments even though it's not a main stream scent. The longevity and sillage are amazing! The bottles I have were gifted to me 6 years ago and my friend had them for a while before they were given to me. I'm not sure if this has been reformulated or not but the ones i have are perfection❤
