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.

Perfect for summer with green notes which balance tuberose for anyone who has a hard time with the note. Vanilla adds some sweetness and easily blends with white florals. Not long-lasting (2-3 hours at most), moderate sillage but overall it makes me feel happy and somehow fresh..

I love tuberose as evidenced by my collection. I always would stop by Guerlain, sniff this and felt cheated that it wasn’t a Fracas tuberose. I tried it today and understood its beauty. I took a walk, came back and tested it on my skin. Fresh perfection. Bottle purchased.

THIS is the floral fragrance I have been searching for. It’s soft, feminine, warm and cozy. Most florals I have tried are a blast in your face migraine inducing fragrance bomb but this is beautiful and sophisticated. I used up my testers and ordered a full bottle.

Could that be the freshest most beautiful Tuberose focused perfume?! An addictive opening, cant wait to start testing it Under careful evaluation

Is this really a Unisex scent? I think most people would think you got into your wife's perfume

A delicate tuberose fragrance, still seemingly unripe. Truly beautiful.

Elegant. And oh so fresh tuberose vanilla.

Love it and its under rated perfume

Oh my friends! My once-in-a-lifetime visit to the Guerlain flagship store in Paris was marvelous! Magnificent! And so, so, so overwhelming! With help from a lovely personal assistant, I eventually settled on two fragrances to purchase for my collection – Joyeuse Tubereuse and Tobacco Honey. It was extremely hard to make just two selections; I wanted to purchase so many more! But my wallet is so thin, and Guerlain is so, well, expensive! Joyeuse Tubereuse’s top notes come in as a just sliced fresh green apple to me. Sparkling so brilliantly - but only briefly - before settling down to those floral notes so perfectly balanced that my nose can’t discern one floral note clamoring to stand above the others. This is a not-too-sweet fragrance anchored by very light vanilla and the lasting dryness of sandalwood. My nose doesn’t pick up the vetiver with this one. Light to moderate sillage, and decent longevity, this feels like a safe bet for daytime workplace. I plan to layer this with Caron’s Tubereuse Merveilleuse, which has a stronger tuberose note, sweeter and excellent longevity. JT stays as consistent on my skin as the test blotter, which is quite rare for me.

Joyeuse Lily. I'm having a general problem with some scents in the L'Art & La Matière series. For the first 10 seconds I smell emptiness and then everything falls into order. This one started with emptiness too, and I think it has to do with a big molecule / fixative kind of thing being used. A bubblegummy and yummy tuberose accompanied by lily, and even though it's clean it has a slightly indolic feel. It's quite creamy too... It has green undertones but it doesn't fall into the green category because of its overall lotiony and soft quality. The lily is more beautiful than the tuberose in the lead role. "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" "The lily, my lady!" A cute white bouquet, its vanilla isn't over the top, and it reminds me of Baiser Vole EDP unfortunately... It's just not as boring as that one (no offense to those who love it). In the drydown what remained was a green vanilla reminiscent of Vanilla Planifolia Chloé (which I adore). Tag(s): lily, creamy, white bouquet

The opening to this is nothing short of glorious to my nose. It smells of green, fresh cut flower stems to the point where I can almost visualise them. It then moves into white flowers, primarily tuberose but with well blended lily and jasmine (it's not unlike Terracotta at this point), before finishing in gentle vanilla. I am a tuberose addict and I think this one could be an entry level tuberose for those who aren't sure if they like it as a note - it goes nowhere near the sillage oomph of Fracas or Carnal Flower on me, but that's not a bad thing. Sometimes you want a gentler approach. My one small gripe is that, on me at least, the longevity isn't as long as I'd like it to be. However, discussion in another forum had some people saying they had it last through a shower. My skin eats Guerlains for some reason! And plus it's worth it for another shot of the opening...

I feel like this is the perfect gateway tuberose scent. I’m a sucker for white florals all the way, but I get that the classic creamy and animalic tuberose note can feel a bit cloying for some people... but this isn’t at all like that! It’s so airy and well balanced I think it could win over even the most sensitive noses. It’s a grassy, green, stemmy tuberose with a deep buttery woody base of sandalwood and vetiver. The sweet creaminess is very subtle, almost neutral in a way that could easily be worn by a man although it is still slightly feminine-leaning. Discrete projection but good longevity, lasted around 8h on my skin.

Wore it all day for a few days: wrists, collarbones, and behind ears. Lasts at least 14 hours on me, though very weak after 8 hours. It's very fresh and very floral without being overpowering. It's not like a sweet bouquet. More of a sophisticated, green, and slightly acidic bouquet of tuberoses with some jasmine. It has a wet acidity like biting into a green apple. It fades gradually to a bit of sandalwood and vanilla. No vetiver for me though. No indoles. The last few hours resemble Neroli Outrenoir: tea with some kind of citrusy wood. But mainly tea. Better for spring and summer. The fragrance leans cold.

A green, sparkly tuberose! I certainly have never experienced it in this way before, I am more used to chunky, heady, indolic tuberose. I think it is really, really beautiful, joyful indeed, and youthful. Unfortunately the most gorgeous part lasts for only an hour or so, and then it becomes nice, but ordinary vanilla-sandalwood. I loved the opening so much that I sprayed through my entire 2 ml sample in a day, I just kept dousing myself every hour or so. I might be noseblind to this, but I don't feel it has a large projection. Overall, 9.5/10 for the first hour, 5/10 beyond that.

Green tender tuberose... i get the fresh cut tender and yet close to skin tuberose, not the milky type of tuberose rather than fresh cuts with jasmines and lilies. It's beautiful indeed (the new packaging).

Tuberose is a tricky note for me. JT is very elegant. The tuberose is playing accord with Lily and some sweetness. It is also slightly milky/creamy. Probably it is the most elegant tuberose I ever tried.

My favorite “cool temperature on an extremely sunny day” sandalwood scent. Day and night, close to my skin, accents of lily and vanilla. A creamy tuberose. A vacation from all my other bottles.

Green opening. White florals on a woody vanilla base that doesn't shed the green feel due to the vetiver in the base. Very nice. -

Joyeuse Tubéreuse Guerlain (Store test, first impression) Natural Tuberose fragrance that not overly carnal and not bubble gummy. More on natural side of thing. Mildly sweeten powdery vanilla base which is Guerlain's signature. It just overshadow by Angelique noire by the same line. You also got a few other option like Tuberose & Angelica from Jo Malone or Gardenia from Chanel. I am not sold on this, actually. Only saver here is the Guerlain vanilla... I might need a few revisit to find the charm of it but no this is just not for me in current stage. ===== Update 1... on Apr 21, 2024 5 days pass, then I crave the soft floral fragrance with hint of vanilla. This is so wried by I just test a fragrance name “La Lune et Moi”, it is a local brand here in Thailand. Matcha, Jasmine and Vanilla. Suddenly, I feel it smells so good. I doesn’t have these kind of interpretations in my collection. (Majority was yeah, spicy vanilla white floral one). Maybe, this is the time for it.. I will bidding this along with Angelique Noire again in May. This might be the one too.. ===== Extension 1 on May 3, 2024 I revisit Guerlain Boutique today. I just want to know her a bit more. the body of Joyeuse Tuberose seems simple complexities at it finesse. The natural white floral bouquet is dominant on quality smooth lite sandalwood and green side, wit vanilla powder... it smells clean, radiant with bouquet quality. Sorry, please let me say something I should not compare but Joyeuse tuberose pretty much.. Guerlain’s take on pretty white floral scent. (MCD - Lucky, Chanel - Gardenia) I quite prefers the route Guerlain even it slightly more perfumery take with slight old composition, but it’s blanc in old way. When scent progress, it becomes Green Vanilla, but when Vanilla mellows out. You will notice mild indolic of this tuberose bouquet for sure, and yes.. it becomes tuberose solifores on Sandalwood as time pass by. I would probably still consider this as floral and not complex (4 aspect I do got is powdery vanilla, tuberose bouquet, fresh green tone and Sandalwood) but scent is full of details.. it’s beautiful. I am bidding this with Rose barbere. I will spray this again reconfirm my idea. Yeah, idea of Sandalwood in White floral and vanilla, quite get me going. Inoffensive in anyway.. ... ===== Extension 2 on May 5, 2024 I bring out my few Goutals in my collection to play, Un Matin d'Orage - Gardenia Passion... I feel like, I don’t actually need Joyeuse Tuberose.. I means.. yes it is beautiful and it has uniqueness being Guerlain’s Vanilla and smooth Sandalwood in base..but.. Due to it lightness, I can’t justify how this is much different from finely craft white floral fragrance from other houses, it has almost similar longevity. Plus, I will grab Curel Gardenia. The whitefloral, musk also contains both element, I may miss a greenness a bit, but Curel Gardenia has musk that I belong to Guerlain only. I am bidding farewell Joyeuse Tubéreuse from my buying list in May 2024, as of now.. 🥲 But I wish you may come back one day. ☺️ ===== Extension 3 on January 2025 Well.. I finally got my bottle of Joyeuse Tubéreuse, the precious version (75 ml. Falcon) around usd 115. I will update later on rather does it have any major differences. ===== Extension 4 on February 7, 2025 Yeah, I still enjoy this Joyeuse tubereuse, after all this year. To be honest, if my memory serve right. I do not notice any big difference between. 75ml. Falcon or 200 ml. Falcon. The bigger one might be slightly less sweet. But the composition still the same... I now to interpreted this more on lily side too. (I Also record a note compare Cartier Baiser Vole) I notice big association with Creed Iris Tuberose (which also Tuberose and Vanilla) But that is more thin and aldehylic. This interpretation back in the day. Vanilla, Tuberose and wood. Might kind of hits. Gardenia territory too.. I might just make thing more complicate in my mind. This is anyway a long lasting with soft projecting Tuberose and Guerlain Vanilla... Still, simplicity and its fineness for Tuberose lover.

Picked up a sample from my local Saks in which was missing from the lineup but luckily found hidden in a drawer. It had always been one of my fav of that collection, along with Cruel Gardenia and SDV. One of the main reasons I had trouble in the first place from buying it years ago, aside from the high price point, was I got unsure if I was a gardenia girl, a tuberose girl, or a vanilla girl. I had frags with all three of those scents in their own form, but felt this need to choose out of this Guerlain bubble, and my uncertainty led to further confusion. I realized not that long ago how so many tuberose scents are disguised as gardenia and vice versa and how they are similar florals after all. So it makes sense, and figured it would be worth revisiting. While CG has its vibe, I won’t diss it cause it’s not bad by any means, but something about it just isn’t the gardenia I dig. Spoiled perhaps from my first frag, Gardenia Passion, which I only had the vintagey bottle, before it changed to goutal. It smelled elegant and mature, too old for my age at the time, but I didn’t care and I cherished it. Fast forward a couple years later and I found Tuberose Gardenia by EL private collection. Still one of my favorite scents, but often neglected for others and prob for the best as I only have a quarter of the vintage juice left. Then came Gardenia Petale by VCAA, out of the three, probably my favorite and most beloved gardenia frag. Rich, powerful, feminine, and timeless, just like the others. Chanel Gardenia Is my other favorite one but very different in contrast. Back to JT- I tested it on myself in the wee morning around 3-4 am, and would say it projected its finest the first 3 hrs, and had above average longevity. There’s a side note of white lily which I adore in general, and another reason why I’d prefer it to CG, but lacks the decadence I crave, and remained too humble for my taste when first sprayed. It lasted around 8 hrs roughly. It’s pretty, but not impressive. I’ll need to test out more to decide if it improves or it just isn’t enough for me. My OVERALL Description of JT: A mixture of semi sweet white florals, freshly picked, by an impatient wealthy housewife whom has taken up gardening as her full time hobby. Some of the flowers are in full bloom, but the majority aren’t there yet, hence the greenness. It is not sour or unripe, just premature, but it still has potential to thrive. The lady smiles as she carries the bouquet she just cut from her vast garden, pleased that this is the start of spring. She is wearing a luxe vanilla centric floral frag, while she contemplates on which room the vase of flowers will go, leaving a soft vanilla trace behind the bouquet. It’s subtle, and barely noticed if at all when first applied. After the dry down and some time, the vanilla slowly settles in ever so gently, like its tiptoeing around the florals, as it doesn’t want to get in trouble for not being there from the start. Despite arriving late to the party, it’s also the last to leave, exiting with a silent goodbye. It’s definitely worth trying if you like less cloying florals and can appreciate vanilla, even if it’s just a tad. To me the dry down and 2-4 hrs in are the best, after that it slowly fades into a faint vanilla that is an intimate skin scent.

Joyeuse Tubereuse is extremely green at the start and for a very brief period of time, I could find parallels with Bel Respiro (Chanel) due to the greenness. This was fleeting, but it is nice to smell something recogniseable. During this stage, and throughout, the lily is there and extremely noticeable for me. After that it went to a warmer, more comfortable place with the sandalwood which I have now come to notice in the last five of the line I've tried. A touch of vanilla, but not too much. It is very infrequently that I require moisturiser when applying fragrances anymore, but I have found myself needing it with the L'Art et la Matiere collection. Without moisturiser, the ones I've tried so far disappear rather quickly. I decided to do a side by side comparison with this one and the moisturised wrist has won out. Perhaps this should be common sense, perhaps my hopes were too high based on other fragrances I wear much more frequently and am much more acquainted to or, perhaps, the longevity of these fragrances just aren't all that great. I mentioned before that the moisturised wrist won out but, alas, it hasn't won out by much. It's still very faint.The projection is minimal, its very close to the skin. I imagine this would be a good fragrance for casual or intimate encounters. I certainly appreciate it, and the smells in all stages are wonderful... it just doesn't perform well on me. Try before buy, I'd say, even though the scent is more or less inoffensive.

A beautyful whiteflowery scent. On my skin very airy and light. For that cost -no thanx. JT gets very skinclose on me and I have dry skin that "eats" scents quickly - on my skin I can smell JT about 2 hours. En underbar vitblommig doft. På mig blir den luftig och lätt. Till det priset - nej tack. JT är på mig väldigt hudnära och jag har torr hud som "äter" parfymer - så jag känner den i ungefär 2 timmar.

7/10. Peppermint, with many other herbal elements. Later skin scent and Vit. E mineral oil. I do not smell tuberose flowers. A little sweet.

This scent is called Joyeuse Tubéreuse, but I don't find it joyful at all, because it is too sweet and cloying. This is the type of tuberose fragrance that I simply cannot wear, because the poor flower is drenched in too much vanilla, and I'd say that there are some fruity notes in it as well (although they are not listed). One can smell fresh green notes only during the first 10-15 minutes after spraying this on, and then it turns into this sweet, fruity, syrupy vanilla. I'm sure that there are a lot of fragrance lovers who enjoy this type of scent and might find it 'joyful', but for me it's a scrubber. It's like Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk are on a mission to add as much vanilla as possible to any new fragrance that they create. No thanks.

“What?” I say, turning my head around the room, trying to figure out where the fragrance went after five minutes. It opens with a lipstick-like accord, then shifts back and forth around this fantasy-like image. It eventually settles into a green, grassy field of fresh white florals. The composition is also creamy from the sandalwood and sweet from a clearly distinguishable vanilla base. I’m not sure how I feel about the vanilla in this composition. Overall, I enjoy this profile, but I’ve tested fragrances with far better execution. My review is genuine, but it hardly matters since the fragrance is completely gone from both my and my partner’s skin, clothes, and everything else.

This would have been a beautiful fragrance had it stayed on for more than 10 minutes on my skin. I I have a 5 mL tester bottle, which was decanted from a new bottle from the Guerlain counter. The scent is very captivating and playful that’s why I decided to take a whole bottle with me. It’s very refreshing to experience a tuberose that doesn’t lean too floral nor typical (say 1980s type). I only wish it stayed on long enough to not be retouching within 30 minutes or less. This is a fragrance that belongs to the Eau de toilette type. For Guerlain , it’s a hefty disappointment.

I was so excited about this release. Guerlain and white flowers, it sounded promising. Unfortunately I get a sort of sweet soup, with no one ingredient standing out. If it had been priced under $100, I might have considered purchasing JT but I find nothing to be impressed with here. I am disappointed.

The opening is beautiful, it's a rather uncommon, green, fresh take on tuberose. But... the longevity is abysmal. Sillage is weak from the very beginning, and the scent disappears within 1h, leaving some basic, sweet, floral skin scent trace. For the price tag, it's unacceptable.

So green and totally missing the bubblegum facet of tuberose that I love.

First let me say, I love tuberose perfumes. I sometimes think my olfactory mission in life is to try to smell every tuberose fume on the planet. So, I duly came to Guerlain's Joyeuse Tubereuse, with great expectation. I have never been able to understand what makes most tuberose perfumes a delight to me, but just a few really unpleasant. And I think JT has helped me identify the culprit: it's the vanilla. I've realised that a strong vanilla note spoils a floral perfume for me, and also chypres, fougeres, aquatics, citruses, anything fresh. It definitely has its place: in balsamics, gourmands, some orientals – but for me personally, if it is too strong, it mars the freshness and adds a sickly note. For example, I love Dior's Poison – it's close to being a signature scent for me. But I've never been able to stand Hypnotic Poison, even though it has similar notes – but if you look at the votes for the most prominent notes for both these perfumes, for HP, vanilla is the first note, whereas for Poison it's way down the list, adding a warmth without overpowering. Just sharing this little note on a step along the endlessly fascinating path of olfactory discovery 😊
