Tuberose Angelica

This was a love at first sniff for me. This is a natural, gorgeously fresh yet also smooth deep amber floral. This and Jasmine Sambac and Marigold went straight into instant 💗💕 for me. Sometimes fragrances are like people to me. I’m so weird I know, but when I find the natural world encapsulated into something like a fragrance it has a personality. This is a special personality with the beautiful rubbery almost gardenia like alive tuberose on top then the creamy dreamy beautiful amber that Jo Malone does so well underneath. I find even places have moods that go with their personality. I’ve lived at the beach for around 15 years and the beach has a different mood that goes in cycles, one day crystaline and glittering, one day dark, rough, waves crashing too close to the shore throwing you roughly out, one day mystical, rain clouds gathering off the shore blowing serenity into perfect cool breezes across your skin, lighting striking off the shore in a wild display of power, ugly, brown, angry, perfect Maxfield Parrish cumulonimbus clouds, perfect temperatures, perfect happiness and sunshine, scorching hot. I digress. Places have meaning and moods just like people and just like fragrances. This is a mystical, soft, fresh, warm, soul melting fragrance. I wish Jo Malone would do some stronger fragrances with greater concentration or percentages of fragrance to alcohol. They fragrances are so amazing I feel they deserve it. The heart wants what it wants and I love this.

This initially opens similarly to Fracas, but a bit warmer, less loud, distinctly Tuberose but also Angelica with some warmth. I found this--initially--more "wearable" because Fracas makes its presence known, and just keeps attending the party drinking and laughing hard, long after everyone else has left. This one dries down to a creamier, rootier, less cloying, less "sweet" aspect of Fracas (which I really enjoy when I'm in the mood). As one reviewer said, this is "green" but it's also a "warm green"--not fresh crunchy early morning green--but a hot day in the early morning, sun is out already, dew is off the grass but it's still cool enough to enjoy the garden "green." I like it and enjoy it more than other Jo Malones. However, one aspect it shares with all of them is the longevity. Only a few of her colognes, special editions, last. Silage is adequate in this frag. The initial sprays may make you feel as if it's going to be a BIG bomb (that tuberose), but because of the angelica it settles. I detect a musk in there; I only catch glimpses of it, but it seems as if there might be the same kind of musk in Narcisco and Lovely--down at the very core. One could wear this day-to-day and to the office. That big tuberose dies down to a pleasant, approachable scent. I think this might skew better on a woman than a man--but it's up to each person/skin chemistry.

Jo Malone London – Tuberose Angelica "A Living Garden in a Bottle" There is a rare kind of alchemy that happens when the right scent meets the right wearer, and with Tuberose Angelica, I’ve found my "liquid gold." While Tuberose is often known for being heavy or "diva-like," on my skin, this fragrance undergoes a stunning transformation. It opens with a breathtaking fresh-cut greenery—not like a florist’s fridge, but like flowers still rooted in the earth, dew-drenched and vibrating with life. The Evolution The Sweetness: As it settles, it develops a gorgeous, honeyed nectar quality. It’s sweet but never sugary; it feels like the natural, thick scent of a bloom at the height of summer. The Texture: There is a sophisticated peppery bite that lingers in the background. It provides a dry, spicy contrast that keeps the white florals feeling modern and edgy rather than "old-fashioned." The Vibe: Though the star is Tuberose, it radiates the soul of a fresh, spicy rose. It is elegant, "alive," and feels incredibly intimate. Final Thought: This isn't just a perfume; it’s a sensory experience. It manages to be both ethereal and grounded, making me feel as though I’m walking through a sun-drenched garden every time I catch a whiff of my own wrist.

I am a bit of a romantic and nostalgic especially with choosing fragrances because I believe it bottles up time and emotions. My partner and I at times would end up in a Jo Malone corner in duty free before we start a holiday. We pick a fragrance that we can share and use during the holiday, and before heading off to India we decided on this scent. I particularly wore this at night during our Indian holiday, the tuberose note mingled perfectly well with the sweet Jasmine scented summer breeze of India. The scent is not 'heady' (as long as you dont spray too much), both warm and cool enough to be worn on any season. The tuberose cools the scent while the amber gives warmth. This is definitely a unisex scent, and I love the bold and sexy depth it projects, noticeable but never overbearing. This fragrance will always bring me to warm Indian summer nights.....romance and nostalgia bottled in a beautiful scent.

I love it! It’s a beautiful white floral from my collection. It’s very special to me. It opens up beautifully, with small green hints, and ambery base, and the tuberose is simply royal. It’s one of the first niche perfumes that I bought. I compare it to Do Son, and it’s my intense. When I compare it to narcotic Venus by Nasomatto, I notice that the Nasomatto’s version is my floral and toned down, it’s also slightly fresh and citrusy. The tuberose in Kilian good girl is way sexier and sweeter. Tuberose in the Forbidden by House of Matriarch is dirtier and more herbal. These are the most tuberose heavy perfumes that I have tried. My preference lies majorly with Kilian and Jo Malone. I feel like Kilian version is more versatile, and tuberose in Jo Malone is simply royal, gorgeous, powerful and forward.
