Soliflore Tuberose

Let me preface this review by stating that I am a dude and tuberose scares the crap out of me! In fact, I still have nightmares of smelling like Carnal Flower, and radiating waves of tuberose like the core of a nuclear power plant, for days and days and days. So it was great trepidation that I tried a sample of Jeffrey Dame's Soliflore Tuberose included with a recent purchase. The verdict is that I like it and wouldn't mind smelling this one on the ladies. To me, this fragrance is a tame tuberose (with tame being the operative word in this sentence) that has a slight medicinal/plasticy vibe to it. I realize that the terms medicinal and plasticy may not sound so great, but it really adds a very pleasant touch to this tuberose with a volume control. Performance is okay for this kind of fragrance; it lasts about 7-8 hours on my skin and projects moderately. As others have mentioned, it's a tame tuberose that is pleasant and plays well with others. Since I am not a tuberose fanatic, my review may not provide you with much insight. However, as a dude who cannot tolerate tuberose scents that are excessively loud, obnoxious and scream at me...well, I kinda like this one because it's pleasant, sexy, interesting and quite kind to my olfactory senses. If Soliflore Tuberose were a women, I would date it. :) Dame Perfumery Soliflore Tuberose is a solid like for me...which is a rarity for me when it comes to tuberose!!!

Beautiful soliflore. Quiet for a tuberose but personally, that's part of its charm for me - as I'm not always in the mood for a scent with a reach of five city blocks. It opens green and slightly mentholated but quickly segues into the main event: a creamy, smooth and gently spiced tuberose. No more than a tiny bit sweet (not the candy sweetness of Fracas, thankfully). It's very realistic and well done. Wearing it is a treat...it seems to meld with your skin in such a way that you're not sure where the perfume ends and where your skin begins. It is the rare fragrance that I enjoy equally from the moment I put it on, until its last breath on my skin. I can easily see this becoming a signature scent for me. Dame Perfumery is proof positive that independent perfumery doesn't have to be exorbitantly priced. This amazing gem will get a lot of wear this summer. Edit: Wearing for a few days straight now....*sigh*....this stuff is gorgeous. Must. Acquire. Second. Bottle.

This is an olafactory ride in bliss! It is so camphorous/mentholated in the opening, as soon as its on. I know I must wait paitiently, as within minutes it starts to change,.. pulsating, it begins bloom and to resemble plush Tuberose flowers as we know it. This soliflore is true to the flower, photorealistic, it is buttery and green, I Absolutely Love it! Another masterpiece. It has moderate longevity and stays close.

This is yummy, mentholated goodness. It's one of my favorite tuberose perfumes.

Smells like a true mentholated tuberose not the bubblegum overripe stuff (which I also love). Less criminal than Tubereuse Criminelle Serge Lutens. Solid LIKE. -
