Noix de Tubereuse

A fun and slightly nutty (pun intended) take on tuberose. Is no one else getting nuts? A bit of almond, marzipan and macarons? This is heading into yum-yum-ti-tum gourmand territory, I want to eat it rather than wear it. Powder puff sugar on creamy heliotrope (not listed but I'm getting it, must be the mimosa) and sugared almonds ensconce a pillowy, substantial tuberose. Tonka stonker - yes, powdered violet - yes, honeyed clover, yes and dusty pollen laden mimosa making this a crazy, fun, nutty sweet composition that seems to be about a scrumptious edible tuberose. Posh sweeties for grown up kids. Layers of dusty pink fluffy chiffon. A birthday party perfume. For those looking for a Tuberose soliflore, this is not the place to go, better to come at this from liking playful, powdery, sweet and comfortable compositions. Noix de Tuberose wafts and radiates beautifully in my personal space and keeps partying on my skin long past my bedtime. A fitting image for this perfume is Hermione Granger in that fabulous pink floaty, frilly dress at the Yule ball, she is having a wonderful, head-spinner of a time but is a bit out of her depth and it all ends in tears. But it's going to be ok because her friends are for real. I know it's classified as a floral oriental/amber floral, but I smell this as a very good and interesting floral gourmand, contemporary, but with a classic feel to it. Sillage is moderate/good and longevity great on my skin. Edit: I wore this out on a really chilly January day and it showed itself to be less edible sweet and more floral - soft, rich, creamy tuberose powdered with almond-like heliotrope and mimosa - I really enjoyed it, very comforting, friendly and easy to wear. Edit: I'm addicted - This has become my number 1 for a powder fix - just lovely in chilly weather, I think it will also be wonderful in the Spring - full bottle worthy.

Luca Turin describes this perfume as "bubblegum tuberose" and for me this definition is not appropriate at all. Noix de Tubereuse on my skin develops into a beautiful powdery, melancholic tuberose. We are far from the creamy beauty of Fracas, far from the opulence of Carnal Flower, far from the greenness of Maitre Gantier et Parfumeur Tubereuse. I love Miller Harris's style, she is a master in achieving feelings and sensations as if she had a paintbrush and a colourful palette of watercolours. Watercolours on rice paper, not oil on canvas. Her touch is light but not banal, her strokes are gentle, never harsh. The tuberose here is accompanied by a lovely mimosa that does not want to steal the show but denies a role behind the scenes. Same for the violet. The two modest, shy flowers, accompany the queen on her path, never leaving her, never a step behind but side by side. The result is stunning. The tuberose is made less opulent in gaining softness, gentleness and the mimosa and the violet gain importance with such a royal companion. I would suggest this scent to all who say that they cannot wear tuberose, for those who find Fracas either too strong or too sweet. Noix de Tubereuse is not worse or better, it's different and for me, just like Fracas, it's WONDERFUL

Intelligent peppery mimosa-tuberose that is difficult to grasp and intoxicating through all stages of development. Neither a bubble gum tuberose, or a deep green, wet flower (like Do Son), nor the powerhouse some claim it to be (it does not resemble Fracas or original Poison), but rather a moderately sweet and powdery, slightly boozy, ambery coconot milk vanilla tubereuse that melts into the skin and is both soft and slightly sharp. This makes wearing this perfume an intimate, fascinating experience. On the one hand this perfume feels historic, and old worldy - I am reminded of the last drops of tonics and waters left in art deco bottles from the early 20th century - on the other hand it is an adolescent that make fun of you for taking her so seriously. One of my signature scents. I also experience a little nod to L' Heure Bleue on some days. The perfume is not similar in compostion, but the atmospheric emotion is, and maybe a few ingredients. The Guerlain is described as "a fragrance of bluish dusk and anticipation of night, before the first stars appear in the sky", this one as "a scene of sunset, laying in the fields beneath the flowers and gazing at the sky as it changes colour from orange to pink to purple."

There are days when you take a long bath, you go through the skin routine that you've been skipping for weeks, and give yourself a big hug. Those days when you want to consciously take care of yourself and celebrate your existence, which is a far cry from the usual self-preservation stuff. On such days, I reach for this beauty. It's a floral competition where tuberose and mimosa are neck and neck but in between your nose picks up green ambery honeuesque facets and woodsy powder. There are no aldehides listed in the pyramid, but it feels aldehydic as well, I mean there's an aldehyic zing to it that delivers the lush bouquet prim and proper. I love to sport something simple with this, like a quality timeless cardigan with no dramatic additions. It's really charming. Ps: forgot to say that in the drydown you've got a whole lot of mimosa pollen so mimosa's the winner of the match

LOVE THIS! It is more potent than the average MH and there is no harm in that. It is so rich and maybe a touch vintage. I cant say I think of old ladies when I wear this. This is the fragrance of a woman who knows what she is about and when she walks into a room full of people gets noticed for all the right reasons. Her confidence, her stylishness and uniqueness. It is curious how I keep detecting coconut along with the rich buttery tuberose. I suspect its the combination of the tuberose, tonka and mimosa. Tonka has a definite soft edible sweetness. I am very sensitive to the normally strong tuberose note but this has not induced a migraine. The resins give a warmth, the clover a delicate honeyed sweetness. The orris and violet cool and calm everything so it does not screech. This is definitely a fragrance for night wear. Good longevity and moderate silage.

This is the first Miller Harris perfume I (blind) bought and everything else has been a slight disappointment since this magnificent creation. Its a tuberose, but its a round, cognaccy, tonkay, nutty tuberose with other, top notes added into the string section in the background. Its powerful but soft, its confident but not tough - its like a beautiful piece of cake from an exquisite French patisserie and with every delicious bite you discover more hidden flavours, like a hint of mandarine. This is a perfume I would have liked to have made, it is sophisticated and unselfconscious, unordinary without pretense. Utter delight and a fragrance that deserves more recognition.

Beautiful! I adore all stages of this amazing scent. The sweet, powdery dry down, the chorus of notes dancing in the middle but the first hour is pure heaven! ❤️ I need to exercise some serious self control to keep me from respraying 😂 This is no longer available on the MH website, so I fear it is being discontinued. Stock up while you can! I have my back-up bottle already 😊 EDIT- This bewitching potion has now made it's way onto my top shelf and every time I spray it, I fall a little deeper in love with it ❤️ My stash drawer is getting fuller!

To my nose this fragrance really isn't about the tuberose, the tuberose is just a nuance. The opening is about the very herbal clover and the green mandarin, then as the fragrance progresses it becomes a dusty mimosa, violet, almond, tonka make up powder fragrance. The tuberose is there but not the star of the show. It is a lovely powdery fragrance that while giving a nod to old fashion powdery fragrances of old it is very wearable today. If you like mimosa (which is the floral that is the star in this one) give this one a try.

This opens and goes on perfectly on me, it is a full/rich tuberose followed by sweet and green mimosa, which usually does not work on me, but here it plays a lovely role. I do think that this is similar to Fracas, but let's be honest - it doesn't. In Fracas the tuberose is loud and majestic, here it is more creamy and tropical, more suitable for everyday wear. I actually love this, it smells lovely on me, none of the Miller Harris perfumes I've tried before I've enjoyed, but this is very nice. 9/10

I don't usually say that a fragrance paints a picture, but on first spray and throughout, this evolves an image of a sultry 1940s femme fatale sitting in a dimly lit corner of a smoky bar - almost a Jessica Rabbit sort of thing! It is powdery and floral and the very best sort of classic vintage, with just enough sting to make it incredibly sexy. My partner goes nuts on this, my secret weapon! And as usual with Miller Harris, it has incredible staying power.

I love this for its drydown only. The opening is feminine but the drydown is manly. This perfumes is really polarizingly unisex. The blending is such a fine art. So gorgeous. The tuberose is so controlled that doesnt blast off dominantly like mainstream others. That makes men wear this. And also not animalic, who says that??? Poor nose! Very lasting and sillage. The juice color is so tempting to see. A must have for everyone.

Beautiful floral scent. I say "floral" and not "tuberose centric", because to my nose, tuberose and mimosa play almost equally important parts in the composition of this fragrance. It is a powdery, round, tame floral with quite a substantial nod to the past. It almost reminded me of Farnesiana by Caron, with added amber, a bit nuttier and more dense, but fitting the same audience, imo.

It's soapy and powdery on my skin... maybe it's the mimosa-tonka-violet combo? Anyway, I can see some similarities with Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt (minus the aldeydhes)! So I like it very much, even if I'm not a big tuberose fan!

So gorgeous.. I was looking for you and now I found you. To me, tuberose and mimosa are prominent in a pleasant combination with the clover. Warm, feminine, enticing. The perfect autumn scent :).

I seem to love tuberose scents and they seem to love me lol. This seems to last and last and last, very comforting, smells a bit fluffy and pink if you know what I mean but in a nice way lol

The tuberose here is splendid, gentle and elegant. Charming ambery sweet scent. Nothing really more to add - perfection. The frag has a moderate sillage, which makes it a nice office scent.

Nobody else feel it has fig in it? And very obvious fig . Stunningly beautiful! My absolute can't do without!

so beautiful scent !!! pure clean tuberose

I get mostly mimosa from this. Contrary to the name, the tuberose is in the background and not a feature of the scent. This is more a mixed floral bouquet with mimosa being the strongest note. Pretty, but not what I expected though I might just wind up buying this because it is a gorgeous mimosa dominant perfume that smells very natural. It's as if I am smelling a Mimosa tree in full bloom. 11/8/25 - Stumbled across a more than half full 100ml. bottle of the original vintage version (the bottle design is different), for $30 bucks with free ship from someone decluttering. What luck! Someone else is selling the same 100ml. version for $399. That is nutz! 🤪 If there is a change in fragrance as there is in bottle design, I'll update this review. Maybe I'll get the tuberose more than I do now. 11/14 - Received the half full bottle and it is so different from the later bottle I tried that there is no doubt in my mind that this scent has gone through a reformulation. Besides the juice being much darker, which I could attribute to age, it is also much smoother. Contrary to my initial reaction that this was more a mimosa scent than a tuberose scent, the opposite is actually true and now the name of this fragrance makes sense. This is mostly tuberose with mimosa playing a supporting role. Also, in the newer version there was a little bit of a sharpness riding underneath, though not annoying, that I am not getting here at all. It actually smells somewhat different from the reform, a little bit classic whereas the newer version is more contemporary. I happen to like both versions and would consider buying the reformulation in the future should I run across a bottle at a good price, as I really like the heavy mimosa in that.

Disclaimer: I believe I am allergic to tuberose and I have never liked tuberose, certainly not in the 80s and 90s when I first had contact with tuberose-heavy perfumes. Tuberose causes sinus inflammation (nose pain, itch) and headache in me. But it's the 2020s and tuberose is all the rage, so of course I have been exploring my limits and pushing the boundaries of what I can wear. Entrer Noix de Tubereuse. The allergy: I struggle for 20 mins if spayed on clothes, 10 mins if sprayed on skin. So I agree with pretty much all reviews before me stating the the heady tuberose subsides after the first minutes. It is actually wearable for me after that (I would never spray my neck though). The scent: It smells like the 90s to me, I would not find this a tuberose with a modern twist. It reminds me of something from that time. And no, it is not vintage smelling or "classy" smelling. It is slightly retro, but not necessarily out of style. As many before me have mentioned, it gets mellow, smooth, powdery, a tad sweet and slightly floral in the dry down. For me, the lingering scent is mostly about a mimosa-amber-vanilla accord, with violet and tonka being clearly there. This is, in my opinion, yet another introspective scent by Miller Harris, it is comforting, intriguing, and something one would easily get addicted to. This is one we would wear for ourselves. Who: I'd say the person who wears this is quite sensitive, calm, sweet, and for some reason feels a bit different from others. I want to meet this person and hug them. Final thought: It is lovely. Simply adorable. One of those cannot-get-my-nose-out-of-it kind of scents.

Right after a bath I'm very picky about which perfume to put on because I know that I won't be bathing for at least a day. I rarely try a completely unknown entity upon surfacing from the tub. No, mystery scents are best tested with an abundance of bubbles on the horizon! I've been noticing that I gravitate more and more toward a cluster of truly dependable houses when post-bath perfuming time arrives, and Miller Harris is one of them. I know that I can count on whatever I wear from this house to smell natural and appealing rather than synthetic and scary. Tonight I have donned NOIX DE TUBEREUSE and reaffirmed my love both for this scent and for this house. NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is a fresh and natural-smelling tuberose with a clarity I've found lacking in some other niche tuberose soliflores. Nothing here is vague or thick or artificial smelling. The tuberose is slightly green and not that sweet, perhaps because of the clover and the iris? The composition also boasts mimosa, in addition to amber and fig, but mostly this is a fresh bouquet of tuberose. Nothing like FRACAS (which I also love, but for other reasons), NOIX DE TUBEREUSE might lie a bit closer to CARNAL FLOWER (of which I am not however very fond). I feel that I'm in the midst of a bunch of fresh-cut tuberose, with the stems still attached to the petals. I've seen fields of lavender. Are their fields of tuberose? NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is just that to me. A perfect post-bath and pre-bedtime choice for tuberose lovers!

Élégance in a bottle. I bought this perfume in summer (blind buy) and it was awful, i couldn't stand it on my skin. I could only smell horrible nauseating tuberose and something very animalic and repelling. But then i tried it again during colder months and OMG i just couldn't believe that this was the same perfume. Without exaggerating, the magic happened. Now I could smell beautiful mimosa and tuberose well blended with vanilla and amber into sweet, still lil greenish fragance. The dry down is heavenly. It's definitely not suitable for warm or very cold weather. I guess it's the best for spring and autumn. And it's more suitable for mature ladies and not a safe blind buy unless you know you will for sure love this combination. She's well put together, elegant, sophisticated, dressed in white, has very elegant minimalistic jewelry and when she passes by she leaves intoxicating trail of Noix de Tuberose. If you wanna feel elegant, very ladylike, be treated with respect, this perfume will do the work.

Animalic is a really unfortunate description here. There is nothing animalic in this beautiful perfume. I think it may an ideal fragrance for someone that wants to experience tuberose for the first time, or for those that can't really stand when it's stronger and headier, because tuberose here is almost gently light and sweet with some powdery notes. In the background, there is something slightly botanical as well as slightly balsamic. Vanilla (which I usually can't stand) here is very nicely rounded and light. Its first notes reminded me very much of almond paste and some bubblegum I used to love as a child. Its floral part is also light and gentle. And because I've written the word "light" several times, let me make clear that this is not a light perfume per se. It lasts about 4 hours on me (ok not super great but not that bad either), and its sillage is not bad at all. An extremely nice, safe and inoffensive smell. I would prefer it on younger, romantic girls or even teenagers.

At first, there is a blast of powdery - sweet violet and very noticeable mimosa. However, mimosa dyes pretty soon (which is fortunate, as on my skin it is always a bit soapy) and the heady tuberose starts to come through. There is a warmth underneath the tuberose, which must be the resins. I truly like this scent! I always say that florals are not for me but this one, being a fully blown floral, is an exception. (even I am willing to admit that this is a floral scent) I love the progression on my skin. My chemistry just loves violet, and tuberose. As a scent this is much lighter and brighter than my usual go-to perfumes, but at the same time there is this comforting side to this potion that I really like. The cold season is almost here and this tuberose-filled scent plays beautifully on my skin. The only minus is the longevity: after 2 or so hours this scent becomes a true skin scent and then just evaporates away... but it is a beautiful scent, as long as it lasts.

Beginning is blast of loud white flowers, more even reminding of Tiare, then tuberose (Aloha Tiare from CSP was my first thought), which is gone in 10 min. Then perfume develops into soft, coconut-y notes (yes, I smell definite creamy not sweet coconut here, and if you ever tried coconut soap from Lithuanian brand Ceano - that gives you exact same feeling). I don't feel any marzipan, almond or nuts here, only slightly powdery soft coconut milk layered with silent flowery notes, which just highlight that creaminess. Need to mention that was a blind buy for me, and I read tones of reviews before - none of them match the reality) I have cold skin, and from my friend, who has more oily and hot one it smells more green in the beginning, but base develops similarly.

Sugar dusted powdery violets, bubble gum and clover honey. i ve tested this and i don't know whether it has been reformulated or what, but i get the total opposite to those main notes voted above = tuberose up top with violets in equal measure. drying down to to violet, orris, amber, clover combo. She's the daughter of l'air de rien skipping past flowering shrubs, on her way home from school. someone mentioned Songes. i happen to be wearing Songes on my other arm. NDT is a lilac coloured powder stuck to resinous clover honey, whereas Songes is a big golden nectar dripping from a honey bee's bum, who is face down in a jasmine flower.... might i add, this is a rather beautiful perfume. P.S. first few seconds marzipan!

This is a really interesting fragrance for someone who loves brash, bubblegum tuberose (running roughshod over ever other note it encounters!). It opens quite green/herbal on my skin and I found that opening quite harsh and musty. But the dry down is...beautiful! The tuberose is very soft, a touch coconutty, I definitely get the marzipan references...but it’s so demure! Maybe the most demure tuberose I’ve encountered so far. I’m also getting a distinct ‘Chanel No.5 goes on a tropical holiday’ vibes. There is something in the sweet, powdery, retro dry down that evokes that. Really charming fragrance.

A powdery, sweet tuberose and mimosa scent with very good performance. Underneath the dominant notes I pick up something herbal, thinking that Is the violet leaf and clover. This is not a linear scent: powdery top notes burn off then enters the long lasting “vanilla in a meadow” drydown. Amber enters the mix, helping mellow out the heady florals. This one leans retro and feminine. Lyn Harris is a magician with making synthetic notes smell natural. Edit 05.13.20 I like this but decided to let it go as I seldom wear it.

An initially heady tuberose, not very sweet, with an underpinning of violet. It becomes a little soapy-generic for me, I prefer Divine Divine or one of the dirtier tuberose scents such as Tubereuse 3. This one is faintly exotic - a very tiny bit of a coconut edge to it - and dries down to a skin scent not out of place on your beach holiday. I won't buy a FB, as given a choice I'd wear other tuberose scents. Have to agree with Luca when he says "of no great interest" but it's pleasant, inoffensive and office-friendly.

Upon initial spray the tuberose immediately comes out, there is a bit of green freshness for the first 10 min or so, before it dries down to a quite mature, formal and grand amber floral. I can still detect the mimosa alongside the tuberose which gives this scent a sweet fuzziness radiance. Suitable for the colder month, both day and night, but in my opinion more suitable for more mature ladies. It is not similar to Serge Lutens' Datura Noir, as Datura Noir is much more youthful and creamy tuberose.

A lovely Tubereuse-scent but I sneeze when I sprey on my skin. first thing I thougt of is - this reminds me very much of Madonna's Truth or Dare - another very strong scent with Tubereuse and Gardenia. En härlig Tubereuse-doft men jag nyser när jag sprejar på mig denna på huden. Det första som jag tänker på är - den påminner mycket om Madonna's Truth or Dare - en annan stark parfym med mycket Tubereuse och Gardenia.

Beautiful, sweet and bright (yellow) floral with an "almost gourmand" twist. Linear and straightforward. I cannot affirm animalic reference, but there's a certain soapiness. The leading trio (tuberose- mimosa-tonka) makes it very feminine and quite unforgettable, but beware - the key thing here is not to overspray - otherwise it may become overwhelming and headache-inducing (killer sillage and lasting power).

A great variation on Songes. Where Songes is a bit more fresh and green, this is a bit more sweet and gourmand, but really just a bit. The ylang kind of covers all of that ground in both (even if ylang is not listed in the notes here). I wouldn't need to own both at once, but a mini or a decant of Noix de Tubereuse would make a nice replacement for Songes when that gets used up.

This opens with bubble-gummy tuberose and some mimosa. Not incredibly powdery at first, maybe because of the violet leaf. There's a slightly indolic facet here that makes the whole thing feel photorealistic. Overall a sugary sweet, cheery and uplifting floral that feels perfect for spring but might get cloying in extreme heat. The drydown becomes more powdery.

I appreciate Noix de Tubereuse; it's a contemplative tuberose, complemented by soft, sweet, romantic notes. However, it's not for me because of the stonking amount of tonka bean in it. I just know that wearing this would get on my nerves after about an hour. If you like tuberose, I would definitely try it.

Oh how interesting. This has very sharp green almost bitter note but is also creamy, perhaps from tuberose. The strong green note recedes fairly quickly, though always staying in the background. It’s a strong floral and may give a vintage feel. It’s classy.

A strong, but good smelling floral scent with tonka bean and tuberose. A few hours ago, the violet was also there. It's powdery, warm and rich smelling. Quite good scent by Miller Harris, most of their fragrances are too masculine, but this one is fine.

to me its very powdery and sweet, not much else. I use it lightly and it softens into a sweet powdery pleasant smell that I will save for colder weather. its by far not my favourite but I don't dislike it either

it smells of romantic summer evenings. however too powdery. it can smell stale quite quickly.

So I have had this for ten years and now never reach for it despite it being beautiful so I am decluttering it. Complex powdery tuberous. Agree a vintage vibe, for me it conjures up images of a matriarch wearing a fur coat to a black tie event. I once sprayed a scarf and I could smell this all winter so apply cautiously.

The very first time I used this fragrance (it was a blind buy) I instantly regretted getting it. It is not a sweet nor a girly scent. It is a statement. I would describe it as heavy, deep, green, floral, powdery.. The adjectives I would not use for this are young, playful, flamboyant. To be honest, this perfume is quality, therefore it did grow on me and now I'm down to about half a bottle. Would I buy this again? Probably not. Would I buy it to someone as a present or as a blind buy? No. It is definitely something you should try before you buy. I imagine it to be worn by a head teacher of a religious school or the head of a Choir. I'm sorry but this is the image I associate this fragrance with. It is not bad at all, just has a lot of character and seriousness and not really suiting my style. Having said that, slowly I used up my 100 ml bottle..

I blind bought this a) because it was on offer and b) because I am a huge fan of tuberose. Unfortunately it was more of a damp squib than a hidden gem. Initially there is an overwhelming powdery take on almonds and this never really disperses. As time progresses you do get a hint of white flowers if you sniff your wrist but unfortunately it’s just a generic white floral. I get no tuberose whatsoever and even in a subtle form tuberose is a flower that likes to announce itself. Longevity doesn’t seem particularly good and as time progresses you still just get the powdery almond note but at this stage it has turned into a skin scent . I am puzzled by so many good reviews so as I wore this on a summer’s day I will put it away until the colder weather to see if that makes a difference.

I am so dissapointed in this!! I read reviews and was hoping to get a soft but potent tuberose. This is however, a 60+ ladies tuberose, the one you would expect worn by a mature woman in a Russian theatre. Definitely night wear. I do not see a young woman wearing this. So not Miller Harris signature... Just very heavy syrapy dried tuberose. Longevity 4+ h. Moderare sillage. DO NOT BLIND BUY THIS

It's a gas bomb, I can't handle it. Bought 100ml as a blind buy, big mistake. It's always with you. But I've now learnt I don't like tuberose.

this is the best tuberose frag i have smelled so far.I want it sooooo bad!!!

I had a bottle, and I don't like it, it's too syntetic to me.

Headache inducing old lady smell, that's about it. I don't smell anything but powdery florals, and not in a good way. Every time I try to give it another chance, I end up not only wanting to scrub my hand down to the bone with soap, but cut it off entirely..

Massively heady, which isn't a bad thing for me, but good lord it takes a long time to develop into something I would actually be happy to wear. The overwhelming top notes of Tuberose & mimosa are rendered just this side of sickly by the powdery violet. The general effect is that of opening a packet of Loveheart sweets - sherbety, fizzy and nose-tingling. This only continues to fizz on the skin and became almost unbearably cloying for me - I was at the stage of cursing myself for ever having sprayed it - but ever one to give perfumes a chance, I resisted the gnawing urge to reach for the scrubbing brush and present myself at the village pump, thus to cleanse myself of the noxious violet (I don't do well with most violet perfumes, as you may have been able to discern!) Perhaps another couple of hours passed in this manner, until, suddenly, I couldn't smell the sweetness anymore. It was replaced by a rather nice musky creaminess with a slight nutty dryness that mixed well with the resin. Hang on a minute! I like this! Ah. Well. Not quite. This stage lasted approximately 10 minutes, then disappeared altogether. If the drydown alone could be bottled & the staying power of that increased, I'd buy it in the blink of an eye. As it stands, I didn't want to buy it even though it was in the half-price sale bin. Not a keeper for me, I'm afraid. I'd suggest that people who adore tuberose might like to try this after all - I am not a tuberose lover by any means, so it's hardly a fair evaluation. I do like to think I can stand back and calmly assess fragrances I don't happen to be keen on but which are obviously very well done of their kind, though. I just think there's likely to be a better tuberose out there for you.
