Air of Style

I think I have found a great Tuberose+Jasmine frag!! After owning Gucci Bloom (which I love) for a while, it was only natural to go on a hunt for something similar (even in a better price range) and hopefully longer lasting. I generally love jasmine+tuberose and when combined I always happen to perceive the two as possessing lightly creamy and sweetened jasmine-tea-like nuances which I simply aaaadore. (Also, Estee Lauder's Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia is beautiful). Using GB as a comparison, Mac cosmetics' Air of Style is less flower garden (due to the lack of "green notes") and more simply sweet florals (from the date?). It is also more tuberose-leaning where GB highlights jasmine. Additionally, this frag has more woodsy background notes Tigerlillian's review below captures this fragrance perfectly but I'd just like to comment how I love the floral sweetness from the creamy tuberose supported by the ylang ylang and jasmine. Unfortunately, Air of Style's longevity is just as weak as GB on me but at least it's much more affordable! I would make the judgement that AoS is a tad more mass appealing due to its inherent sweetness as opposed to GB's photorealistic walk-in-the-garden-of-white-florals. I love them equally but I'm going to be reaching for AoS more due to it being more economic and its safer olfactory experience. I am now looking to try Michael Kors Michael and celebrity frag Truth or Dare by Madonna for another tuberose perfume!

This tuberose is simply beautiful. Coincidentally, it is signed by one of the collaborators of Michael Kors, Laurent Le Guernec. I do love this composition more than the MK as Air of Style feels fuller, richer and smoother. The prominent ylang ylang, orris and orange blossom offer a satin-like base of luxurious rapture on which tuberose is well featured. Jasmine provides an accent of further sophistication and never upstages the main floral note. Dates are not prominent and provide a warm ambery fruit nuance. Peony appears only for a moment in the opening and quietly leaves before the other floral dames arrive. Occasionally I get a whiff of leather, just a subtle raw edge complimented with pepper and wood. This accord weaves in and out and is more active in cooler weather and way into the dry down. Air of Style is a great workhorse tuberose, polished without being heavy or pretentious, full featured enough without being obnoxiously loud, versatile enough to be dressed up or down. Bright enough to make you smile and sensual enough to make you purr. I'm impressed with the quality at this price point.

Saw this while I was at MAC and I took one look at the bottle and knew it needed to be mine! And the bonus is that I actually love the scent. Definitely white floral - only one spray will do, anymore would cause a headache, it's that strong. It's perfect for under 70-75 degrees, anything more I think it'd be cloying for the warmer temps. It'd be great for Fall too :)

sweet tuberose, ylang and neroli with a hit of white pepper, vetiver and a little woodiness, but it's mostly about those three flowers in that order, very heady and strong for winter wear; they drydown to my nose is very aquatic

Spicy/woody tuberose? Yes please! Gorgeous opening with pepper and dates. Ylang-ylang is so beautifully mixed with tuberose. Leather and vetiver gives it a nice "classic" vibe. Unique,sexy and perfect!
