Tuberosa

I love white florals. Jasmine and Tuberose in particular. They made you feel special. Especially where i live; a hot tropical climate. The creamy projection introduces an uplifting state of mind for me. My first tuberose centered perfume is Do son by Diptyque, which for me was intoxicating. I was in tuberose heaven. Read the review of legendary Fracas and Carnal Flower, wish I have the chance to experience them. Own a few bottle of Miller Harris, notice that her signature is the sweetness on every perfume she creates. I like the "center" smell of almost all of her perfume. It's somewhat very delicate to the nose and yet strong in protruding their creator's message. You cant seem to have enough. Tuberosa lasted a good 12 hours on me. Still projecting her creamy notes after a whole day at work. Its tuberose is sweet, raw and almost animalic. Against Do Son which have 7-8 hours of silage but the perfume changes from the fresh honeyed tuberose to a bit powdery on the dry down. Its probably not fair to compare against my EDP Tuberosa and my EDT Do Son, but I feel there's a need to have a base for my comparison. Tuberosa runs linear on me. Most people will notice you even with 2 spray - just smile. I like the presentation in overall, from the box to the bottle. Not so much on the price. I owned a few sample of Tubereuse 3 by Histoiries de Parfums. Very animalic and addictive, but wouldnt call it total/centered base tuberose perfume, but worth to look them up. I remember the smell even after. Not something you can easily forget. Queen of the night indeed.

I found two Miller Harris perfumes at TJ Maxx and snapped them up: this one and La Feuille. I sprayed them both in the car. La Feuille was a dream: creamy floral with a hint of green, just gorgeous. Tuberosa was also dreamy: golden, sweet, creamy. I was thrilled with my find. A couple of days later, I put La Feuille on and it was pure tomato leaf. Nothing else. TOMATO LEAF. No milky floral...no hint of green...just a strong blast of something I'm not that into. I sprayed several sprays into the air (like 20), waited a few days, tried again, and still nothing but tomato leaf. Bad bottle? I tried the Tuberosa with apprehension but it was still the same luscious rendition of tuberose. Nevertheless, I returned them both, worried that the batches were old, or Tuberosa would go in the direction of La Feuille the next time I chose to wear it. Fast forward a month and while perfume shopping at the mall I kept drifting to fragrances heavy on tuberose. I kept thinking about the lovely one I had returned. Nothing smelled as happy as that Miller Harris interpretation. I stopped at TJ Maxx on the way home and there was my Tuberosa! On clearance! The same creamy sweet buttery happy floral. It is one of my favorite perfumes, it lifts my mood, and I reach for it on rainy days, busy days, and important days when I need a lift. Highly recommend.

A rare handful of times in my perfumer collecting career I have purchased a bottle and immediately bought a back up. This is one of them. This is tuberose to the Nth degree, naughty bits included. It is unctuous and indolic almost to the point of being rancid. It’s salty, sweet, fatty but so perfectly balanced. To me, it is utterly intoxicating. It is a neon white tuberose, naturalistic but with the volume and intensity on blast. And it’s bright white the whole way through, unlike many if not most tuberose centric perfumes. Another reviewer mentioned Bridget Bardot, and I agree. This perfume is unapologetically, even brazenly, curvy and sexy without having to try. One of my favorite tuberose fragrances.

This is a gorgeous tuberose fragrance. I can see why someone smells a similarity with Andy Tauer Flash Tuberose. The similarity is very obvious at the start but then they diverge. Tuberosa quickly gets more buttery and much softer within the 1st half hour. Tuberosa isn't as strong as Andy Tauers. I definitely detect the sambac jasmine and neroli. There is also a creaminess which I will guess is the work of the musk. Tuberose can be a tough note to wear but here MH has created quite an easy to wear tuberose. Moderate silage and longevity.

I didn’t expect much from the fragrance given the previous reviews but oh my- this is like an aphrodisiac for me. The way I can describe it is a perfect balance between- sexy, flowery, clean and dirty scent. I guess it just works really well with my skin! I can smell the tuberose, gently supported by the indole and a sexy almost a clean sweaty beach smell if that makes any sense 😃 Think about the smell of the sheets on your first day in the hotel after having a mid-afternoon romp on your beach holiday. Definitely love at first sniff!
