Turbulences

Turbulences opens with a lush tuberose. The tuberose here does not convey anything tropical. Instead, it's accompanied by a camphorous note, and more surprisingly, an earthy, mushroom-y aroma as well. The later combined with the oily, salty creaminess of tuberose, reminds me instantly of Gorgonzola blue cheese and gardenia. I happen to love this aspect of gardenia in perfumes, and besides JAR Jardenia and Tom Ford Velvet Gardenia, Turbulences is a rare instance where this accord is explicitly showcased on my skin. Needless to say, I'm in an olfactory heaven during the first 3 hours of Turbulences' development. Starting from the 4th hour, the mushroom/cheese smell becomes gentler, allowing other notes to shine as well. The terpenic, camphorous greenness and the creamy suavity of tuberose, the bubble-gum sweet undertone of jasmine, and the discreet magnolia and musk mingling with the oily fatty mushroom/cheese, all make a sensuous skin scent which lasts for hours and hours. The sillage of Turbulences is heavy to moderate, and the longevity can exceed 12 hours on my skin. While I'm mostly indifferent towards the other LV fragrances, I absolutely adore Turbulences. Partly because I love tuberose and gardenia in perfumery, but more importantly, it's because of the evocative, risk-taking earthy mushroom/blue cheese aroma. Admittedly, Jardenia and Velvet Gardenia are both deeper, darker and more complexe than Turbulences. But Turbulences is the most practical one to procure while preserving this weirdly attractive accord. Therefore, I'd highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you enjoy mushroom/blue cheese nuance in gardenia and tuberose.

This fragrance drove me... literally... crazy. I was so obsessed with how good this smells but so torn about the price tag. When I ran out of the sample I got at the store, I bought tuberose bulbs online and planted them in pots on my terrace, just so that I could smell tuberose again. It took four months but they all blossomed beautifully and at that point I realized I was absolutely bonkers and got out and bought a bottle. Turbulences is great. Sillage is very moderate after about 1-2 hours but longevity is super potent. I can smell this on myself after a whole day so I’m assuming that others can too. I feel like this represents me like no other perfume ever. The masculine and feminine counterparts are constantly complimenting each other, a true gender bender. 10/10

Once you get to know it, you never leave it ... pure, restless, passionate, overwhelming, turbulent love at the first scent on your skin. What better name to honor the grandeur of this sensory vortex where the white floral: the majestic tuberose is the undisputed and undisputed queen. Central notes of rose harmoniously follow each other as in a minuet. To close with more carnal and animalistic notes, which pervade the senses making it brazenly disturbing, feminine, sexy and shamelessly sensual. Sillage that makes you love. Important duration, it is also appreciated the day after. Divine fragrance.

I was at the LV Sydney boutique today and was advised this is going to be discontinued soon as it wasn’t selling very well. So if you love this, stock up! I think it’s beautiful and would love a bottle at some point, hopefully before it’s discontinued.

A thick tuberose and white florals. Smells like a Javanese wedding banquet with all white dresses and batik. Love how rose and sandal turn this into somehow creamy (less leather) in the mid to end of its development. Good performance in tropic.

This is officially discontinued guys. The fragrance is not available online or in any store as per their website. I reached to the Customer Service via email and they confirm it’s not part of the Fragrance Collection anymore. Bummer :(

Surprisingly lovely mushroomy tuberose with a soft sueded magnolia dry down. I would've happily paid MSRP for it~ Hopefully I will be able to find a bottle somewhere!

Hate this as a singular layer. Extremely in love while layering with LV Sun Song for dry and sunny day. Gorgeous.

Omg this is the best Louis Vuitton ever created. Idk why they discontinued this divine creation

I enjoy this perfume so much I am obsessively inspired to try others from this line.

One of my favorites from Louis Vuitton. Sorry to hear that it's been discontinued.

This smells like a brand new car bringing home a Jasmine plant

I’m so sad this was discontinued.

The odour of tuberose and jasmine are strong and they are mixed with each other quite well. It seems that I can smell of some orange blossom in it though I don't know how it happens and it is what makes fragrance so interesting. However I am quite disappointed with its floral scent as it is not complicated and multi-leveled. I ordered the miniatures of dans la peau, mille feux and turbulences online and the only one I like is dans la peau. The floral scent here is dull and boring and nothing different from other floral scents, or maybe even worse than many of the designer and niche brands. At least in their fragrances, no matter I like that particular floral scent or not, I can find something interesting to make it a successful and 'good' perfume. But nothing in this one. Considering its high price, I would say it is not worth it as you can buy a few bottles of other fragrances with a unique and unforgettable formula with the same amount of money. This one is too mediocre and ordinary at its price. I do not hate it, but I do not like it as well. I believe dupes of a much lower price can be found. By the way, I want to try rose des vent as well as I love rose perfumes. I hope it won't let me down. Leather scents are also one of my favourites. Anyone knows which one in this collection consists of a stronger and more obvious leather note?

The mushroom-like scent of the all over dominant tuberose in this flag may explain LV calling it "intoxicating Turbulences" (hope the mushrooms are not toxic, but I survived!), as it takes hours for the other floral notes, the muscs & leather to come. Maybe too much ... but definitely ambitious and original. Among the 7 flags sold in 10cc miniatures by LV, I'm not sure regarding this one (neither BTW about Contre Moi which lacks strength IMHO). All the others are near perfection, even the 2 with clearly fruity notes, so much "a la mode" today. Many reviews here complain about price, but the 200 cc bottles go for 300€, in my view quite fair when compared to Guelain's Exclusives (also from LVMH) with similar quality of ingredients. The 7 miniatures allow 3 or 4 thorough testings in different situations & conditions for 250€, so I liked this near zero risk formula before buying the big bottles. P.S. (added Aug.'17) : the more I use this frag, the more I like it.

Turbulences by Louis Vuitton 2016 I went for my new wallet to LV location in Chicago- Michigan Ave and I felled in love with this one. Next to Rose des Vents these are my fav :) I really like how it blends. A very delicate and a long lasting. Powdery/woody/musky, luxurious delicate scent!. . . If you want me to be 100% honest with you. The reason I like this one- it's because reminds a lot- Eau Blanche by Alexander McQueen. They blend so similar.. I would call them close cousins :)

I bought it based on the reviews here. I'm not a floral scent fan but as I am reading allthe the comments here I said why not? So I bought it. Its a yes - no scent for me, I like to smell it on other people but I cant stand wearing it. To me, the scent is like you have been locked in a church and u get out the day after and the aroma of jasmine lingers on your skin. I can't detect any rose notes here, just pure tuberose and jasmine from top to base notes.

it is known i love tuberose and jasmine-and this is a dream-sexy big white florals-...i love turberose that is animalistic-i can almost smell the pollen-over ripe, rich,blossoms.....wonderful. universal perfumes and cosmetics does a spot on EXCELLENT pure perfume oil -aprox $6/3mls-of concentrated heaven....long lasting, great projection-it lasted 8 hours on me-far longer than the sample i have from the company....

I hate tuberose. I was given a sample of this and didn't touch it for that reason for a while. Then I wore it one day and it really started to inspire me. It reminds me of that allusive scent of growing gardenias, a scent I have never been able to find in a perfume. complex and contemporary.

Tuberose dream underscored with lemony leather. Green jasmine, green tea, creamy tuberose, lemony magnolia, leather and musk are the notes I detect. This opens up with a bright and camphorous jasmine. As it warms up on my skin, I pick up notes of concentrated jasmine green tea accompanied by a sweet creamy tuberose. As it develops, the creamy tuberose retreats and a beautiful airy illuminated leather takes centre stage. This wasn't what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised by the plot twist. The lemony magnolia is also more apparent in this leather stage. Unfortunately, this scent does not last very long on my skin. It fades to a light leathery musky skin scent on my skin after 5 hours or so. The tuberose and jasmine mix reminds me of the Gucci Bloom line, which is one of my favourite tuberoses; fresh, light-filled, creamy not overly heady or animalic, intoxicating nonetheless. I am truly intrigued by this dynamic floral leather fragrance, will definitely have to explore more of the Louis Vuitton fragrance collection.
