Regal Tuberose

After trying Madonna's Truth, Gianni Versace's Blonde and Frederic Malle's Carnal Flower as well as many others... Regal Tuberose is one that is somewhat different. Madonna's Truth is bold, a huge tuberose that you either love it or hate it. Though it is said that Truth resembles Fracas which Madonna adores, I cannot comment on it for I do not have the chance to try it. Blonde is nice but something about it is not exactly what I am looking for. Carnal Flower is dreamy to my nose, would have love it to bits but my skin does not seem to smell as good as it smell on the blotter. I happened to chance upon Regal Tuberose by chance at a very good deal. It was a blind buy, one that I do not regret at all. Regal Tuberose is a refreshing youthful take on the flower, while it is delicate and a little fleeting, I am nicely surprised by the staying power. Just when I thought the perfume is gone, I caught a whiff of it as I turned, as if reminding me gently that it is still there. At the end of the day (8 hours), a light musky skin scent is left on my arm. A compliment gather too. A recommended quality Tuberose scent.

I don't feel that I can summon words that are worthy of this fragrance, except to say that it is a masterful and very different take on tuberose. This is not the heavy, brash and creamy tuberose that one expects from a tuberose-centric fragrance, instead, it's a young, green, slightly sweet tuberose that is sheer, instead of smothering. This is definitely not Fracas. Regal has just enough (non-indolic) jasmine and papyrus to keep it light, soft, and verdant. The tiniest touches of patch and oakmoss appear in the base. I don’t really detect the patch as an individual note; it just gives the fragrance a sense of depth. The sillage for me is moderate – you’d have to really dose yourself to overdo this tuberose – and the longevity is excellent (12+ hours). This is a seasonless beauty that has quickly become an HG for me. Eric Buterbaugh is said to have told the perfumers who worked on this collection that cost of materials was no object. Once you try Regal, you quickly understand what a $300 perfume *should* smell like. It's dear, but it's worth every penny.

This is everything everyone else said here and more. It is really a beautiful and unusual take on a tuberose scent. Honorine Blanc did for Tuberose what Francis Kurkdjian did for Gardenia in Elie Saab's Essence No. 2 Gardenia. She took a normally heavy floral note and made it light and fresh, while still managing to retain the essence and opulence and richness of that creamy, lush flower. Perfectly proportioned, perfectly balanced, as light and sheer as chiffon, and just as soft. I think this can be worn anytime, anywhere, both work and play, since there is no high drama here. Just a beautiful floral that creates a lovely gossamer aura around you. Full bottle and signature scent worthy in my book. This is one I'll be replacing with a fb after this travel sprayer is done.

Yes yes yes I agree with both previous reviewers! Regal Tuberose is the most gorgeous, stunning tuberose I've ever smelled, and I've smelled lots!! (Who hasn't?) This is so fresh and delicate!! It's usually a bit too heavy and pungent for me, but not this one - it's divine!!!! So alive and fresh and young smelling, almost fragile in a way, yet deep and rich at the same time. It's glorious. And it lasts very very well. I've worn it a couple of times, lately, and have received many many compliments! I love it, it's stunning!!

On me this starts out with a light burnt rubber note but thank goodness it doesn't last too long...it is too dreamy. Even if you're not a huge tuberose fan you can love this. It is very light but still manages to be noticeable. Tuberose can sometimes overpower, but not here. It it blended so beautifully. Perfect in heat. Perfect any time you just want a pretty beautiful light floral - emphasis on beautiful
