Joyeuse Tubéreuse

Too bad this is so outrageously priced because I would love to add this beautiful perfume to my collection. A white floral bouquet of green tuberose with a light dusting of sweet, powdered vanilla, a waxy Madona lily, and a creamy full-bodied jasmine. The vanilla here is so beautifully executed as it enhances the floral notes, showcasing every lovely facet, without overshadowing any, and the ambrette (not listed but it is in here) gives a velvety musky skin aspect. The base of sandalwood and vetiver are the perfect green woody grounding that harmonizes beautifully with the other notes. Perfectly balanced; neither too sweet nor too dry, nor too heavy or shallow. I think it would smell just as wonderful no matter the time of the year. Aptly named, it truly is a joy to wear! While I love this, I doubt a full bottle will ever be in my future, especially at the price being asked. Besides, I don't really need a bottle of this, especially with the size of my wardrobe, but it would be nice to have a big decant to use on occasion. I might just pick up one of the 10ml.mini bottles I see floating around here and there. One thing I want to make others aware of. There are tons of bottles of this on eBay for ridiculous prices coming out of China. There is no way that this is selling in the $50 to $80 range for a 100ml. bottle. You'd be lucky to find that size in the $250-$300 range even on the grey market considering that size retails for $400 a bottle. So, if the price seems too good to be true, it is and is most likely a counterfeit. God only knows what they put in those, so do be aware and take care.

Perfect name for a perfect fragrance! This is really joyous, optimistic and pretty. Delicate in character, but not weak. The green notes are very noticeable on my skin. Luckily they are soft and dewy and don't try to smell like realistic flower stems. Tuberose can be a really intense flower, but in this case it's not bombastically loud. It keeps just enough of its hypnotic and bubblegummy facets to be clearly recognizable, but is still easy to wear. The cold, slightly sharp lily adds to the appeal. Of course the vanilla is beautiful, like it always is in Guerlain scents. Here it feels like a veil of powdered sugar on the petals of lily and tuberose. This is obviously a sweet scent, which is no surprise from a Guerlain with these notes. I don't understand how anyone could find it cloying though, this has dry sweetness with enough fresh notes to never turn syrupy. I find it elegant and lovely, especially for the springtime, from the cold days of March when it's slowly getting lighter outside to the often summery heat in June. If I ever visit a Guerlain boutique that carries the 20 ml travel sprays of the L'Art et la Matiere line again, I'll definitely get one of Joyeuse Tubéreuse. With a pink or green leather case. I already have one of Cuir Beluga and I think these two have the same uncomplicated but luxurious vibe, even though they're different notes wise.

I waited for having used a good part of the full flacon to write this review. This is a gentle, light but very distinguished Tuberose, unlike Vuitton's Turbulences, D. Ropion's Carnal Flowers (Fred Malle), or Lancome's "La vie est belle" EDP Intense. It never gets too invasive as it is modulated throughout it's effect by greens during the opening, then by the other white florals and finally by vanilla. I find only a hint of vetiver. Not any "intoxicating" effect of tuberose some skins reject with a mushroomy scent, though the tuberose is dominant from the beginning, melting with vanilla only towards the end. Longevity is at least 8 hours if used alone, but spraying it after a some other frags like Angelique Noire or vanilla-dominated frags makes it last longer. Tuberose is a very special, sort of "all or nothing" or "love or hate" floral note, so I usually recommend testing it. But Joyeuse Tuberose is a low risk frag due to it's lightness and gentle scent, so maybe this is the best frag to get acquainted with this very special flower. All in all, this frag is for fine noses ... very intimate with no "crushing" effect, and it comes up completely to my expectations from a house like Guerlain.

As strange as it can sound I'm a sucker for tuberose fragrances as a man. They are just so inviting and pleasant to my nose. I bought Guerlain's Joyeuse Tubéreuse during my London trip back in early March and since then it became one of my favorite tuberose scents. It opens up with a cozy greenness, the tuberose is only subtle for the first 10-20 minutes and than it becomes the main player. The scent is pretty linear after that part - till the late dry down around hour 4-5 it is mainly a green tuberose scent. In the late dry down it turns into Guerlain's signature vanilla with tuberose still ingering around a bit. On my skin the fragrance lasts around 7-8 hours with moderate projection. It lingers around for the 4-5th hour creating a nice personal scent bubble, after that it becomes a skin scent. The fragrance is definitely school safe, but it is not really something I would gravitate towards on daily basis. This is more of a fragrance which would suit a nice brunch/lunch/dinner with friends and family or a special someone. I also feel that this is best to combine with some white linen trousers or shorts, some loafers or walk loafers and a nice light blue linen shirt.

I recently purchased it after coveting it for years. I had sampled it in Nordstrom when they used to carry the fragrance. I feel that the formula has changed. the one had i had sampled years back had way more tuberose notes than this one or maybe my body chemistry has changed over the years. it's still a beautiful fragrance, opens up very sweet and powdery. i smell a lot of lilies, almost like Cartier's Baiser Vole. I love the smell of lilies but for some reason in a perfume, it itches my throat a bit and makes me cough. so i cannot wear it close to my neck. the perfume smells amazing, crisp, green, i particularly love the green note which brings out the tuberose. it has little tuberose but more lilies on my skin. overall a pleasing smell, lasts 8+ hrs on the skin and has good sillage. if you're looking for a true tuberose fragrance, go for FM Carnal Flower or Robert Piguet's Fracas. for the exorbitant price of this perfume, i believe that Baiser Vole is a much more affordable option. my husband said that it smells just like ordinary talcum powder.

Sugar-dusted, dewy, green tuberose and lily flowers on a spring morning. Delicate and fleeting, too fleeting if I'm honest. It's criminally short-lived for the price, but it is so beautiful. It does have sligtly more projection than I first thought, but only for an hour or so. As with most in the line, it's more than meets the eye at first. I'm gonna say it's a love, despite the performance. Perhaps you can't have such a sparkling, delicate beauty and expect it to belt out for hours on end. Update - after a couple of hours, the florals are basically gone and I'm left with a creamy, tart vetiver scent, which is lovely, but totally unrelated to the opening. I still love it, ignoring the price (I didn't pay top dollar for it), but it's one of those scents where I'll crave the opening again one hour in, and so I could end up burning through it FAST. Update: came back to this after months and the vanilla is super strong. The opening is pretty similar to Angéliques Noires. Perhaps I prefer it in cooler weather.

Wow, what a beautiful fragrance. At first sniff, I immediately got a green, stemmy note that quickly bloomed into a lush bridal bouquet of white florals. I will echo the sentiment that longevity here could be better, but it’s not so dire that one shouldn’t consider it for purchase. From opening to dry down, this perfume is lovely in its transformation. It’s so sparkling, effervescent, and easy to wear. I normally dislike lily, but it’s beautiful here. The perfect spring and summer transition fragrance. It’s funny to see people complain about performance, meanwhile Cruel Gardenia lasted all of 96 seconds on my skin before disappearing 😂... but, I did not have that problem here. This would be an INCREDIBLE wedding fragrance. It’s a bit more green and lush compared to the other two florals from Guerlain (Jasmin Bonheur and Cruel Gardenia), but in the best way possible. I would definitely consider a FB of this white floral masterpiece.

Mmm this smells like creamy white flowers mixed with Smarties candies! The smell is legitimately extremely pretty and soft. It sits very close to the skin, even if you over-spray. On first sniff, this reminded me of a weaker Gucci Flora EDP, but when I compared the two, I realized that wasn’t really correct. They share the same level of sweetness and just something about them both that I can’t identify (maybe the tuberose in one and the osmanthus in the other act similarly in the opening?), but as they reach the heart notes, Flora is more orange/yellow-sweet while Joyeuse Tubereuse is more green/white-sweet. Update: the projection of Joyeuse Tubereuse definitely increases with wear and body heat. It was a skin scent for the first hour, but after I spent some time getting warm under a thick blanket, you could smell this from four feet away for a few hours, I was surprised!

Oh my... this smells so expensive and like Heaven in a glorious and beautiful bottle (which you can now customize the cap of, by the way! Mine has a pretty pink ribbon around it.) It starts off with a lovely green and herbal note at the top and then you smell the tuberose, lily and jasmine equally at the heart. It definitely should have been called "Joyeuse Florale Blanc" instead of "Joyeuse Tubéreuse," since none of these flowers dominate each other and are blended quite expertly. I'd say the same thing about the base notes at the end too, except that I can smell the vanilla and vetiver quite a bit more than the sandalwood, though, which is a good thing in my book, since I hate sandalwood! Overall, it's a slightly herbal and moderately green white floral perfume with a subtle vanilla base. Quite lovely, I must say!

I do not usually jive with tuberose. It goes bubblegum-y on me. BUT THIS DOESN’T! It reminds me of my childhood... resembling honeysuckles, but the most amazingly gorgeous jasmine and vanilla laced honeysuckles I have ever encountered. It is very light. And sometimes I like that. To sum it up: This is a sheer sparkling enchanting floral that will never seem out of place in any situation. It’s light and that’s part of its charm, but it is a skin scent after some time and if you don’t want something so soft and also aren’t comfortable with this price; that is understandable! Definitely look around for cheaper prices , I got a bottle for a great price and it definitely helps justify getting this for me. Good luck! This one is very magical to me!

Out of all the tuberose perfumes that I've tried, this is by far the most elegant, appealing, unique, and intoxicating one. It's green, floral, a little sweet just to balance it, a little animalic just to refine it and distinguish it from the rest. It has a beautiful trail that lasts and lasts and if someone passes by you wearing it, the scent will linger in the place for a while. Excellent quality, but too expensive. I'm yet to try the Molinard Tuberose, but out of the ones that I've tried Cocaine is the most unisex, but not the greatest for me, this leans more towards femine but can be pulled by a confident man easily. I also like Twilly very much but that is very feminine. 10/10 Guerlain ❤️

I like this scent a lot: it starts off green and vanilla creamy with strong dewy tuberose. It dries down into a tuberose with heaps of creamy vanilla. If you have ever smelled Guerlain Terracotta the white floral note between these two perfumes is very similar. Both are candied, dewy, and clean. Echoing a few reviewers here: beautiful but not worth the Exclusif price tag. I would be on the hunt if this was a cheaper fragrance but at this cost it seems like there are other fragrances on the market that scratch the itch. For me this evokes a cross between Diptyque Do Son and Guerlain Terracotta.

I struggle with florals, still Lys Soleia was a favourite and to my nose the closest reminder of Gardenia and Stephanotis in bloom. It was a relaxing and comforting fragrance, with creamy vanilla and sandalwood as a backdrop to the florals. And then it got discontinued. Joyeuse Tubereuse IS the discontinued Lys Soleia from the Aqua Allegoria line, with a fresh new makeup in the first 20 minutes. The new opening is young and beautiful, but I am over the moon to be able to buy a FB of an old friend once again. And no, it does not resemble Ambra Calabria one bit.

Beautiful and elegant white floral with what I would call “Tuberose for beginners”. Polite, composed and very light, this isn’t a blousy in your face fragrance, it’s a sparkling ladylike champagne flute. She’s never going to make a statement because it’s not her style, she’s going to sit in the background and look attractive. I prefer a more belligerent tuberose, but this one will come in handy when circumspection is required. I must admit that I wouldn’t have considered bringing her home if it hadn’t been for Myer reducing the price by 30%.

This is pretty. It is a wallflower scent. I dont love the vanilla choice they used, its only ok, its a little tiny bit screechy vanilla but still high end and not sweet at all. Its a watery tuberose with a non edible, non sweet but a little unappealing vanilla that is a little stronger then the tuberose itself. Its nice though, for a white t shirt scent. I cant wait to try it in the heat, maybe it'll be a bright and shinning frag then? .. to be contd.

For me this is more Lily than Tuberose with a large dose of Guerlain vanilla! I’m so sad I’ve ignored this for so long. Found an older 75 Ml for less than $250 - so the person moaning about the price above me might want to keep an eye out. You can absolutely find this pre- loved for a great price. I think Guerlain is worth their asking price most of the time. People shouldn’t be shamed for having the money to spend on what they love.

How come such a high quality perfume as is JT could be compared to Avon? I’ve searched the notes of the Avon cologne mentioned by the user below (because I was curious and because I want to find a cheaper dupe) and there’s nothing relatable either! I really don’t want to add to my colección anymore cheapies that smell...cheapie, but I also don’t want to spend $200 on this, anyone has another suggestion? Thanks in advance :)

This scent reminds me of my grandma, in the best way. She passed away a few years ago and I miss her everyday. I bought this perfume in honor of her. The scent is elegant and beautiful and it has just a hint of sweetness, just like her. She was the most stylish woman I knew and I think when I wear it, I feel like a stylish woman too.

This is, in fact, joyous, and its definitely tuberose. No bubblegum, no cigarette note- a pristine, dewy, stemmy tuberose gently lifted by lily and vibrant vetiver. Cushioned by a teeny tiny hit of vanilla and a nudge of sandalwood. Super green all the way down. Possibly the best tuberose I have ever smelled

One of my favorite in this collection. When I smell this fragrance, I don't smell the perfume. I smell the real tuberose. I love wearing this one with Diptyque Philosykos EDP. Uplifting scent that give you comfort and happiness. Perfect for the cold, dark, gray winter with raining outside.
