Tuberose

Uma tuberosa com a saída licorosa realmente, consigo sentir a nota cítrica de saída do petitgrain tímido, mais puxada pro cheiro de casca de laranja muito leve que caminha pra floralidade. A saída assusta um pouco mas é deliciosa, inclusive fico o tempo todo cheirando a tampinha do frasco pra senti-la, toda essa parte lembra muito o meu amado e nostálgico Today da Avon. Em italiano menciona a nota de coco e na parte escrita em inglês não, menciona essa tal de "maidens-tears" (???), inclusive, gostaria de sentir mais o coco (do contrário de muita gente que não curte essa nota rs), eu até sinto mas bem leve um cheiro de leite de coco (que me parece também equilibrar a baunilha); "Elegante e femmninile la composizione svela tutta la sua esclusività già nelle note di testa, dove l'esotico COCCO si completa grazie ai frizzanti tocchi di petitgrain. Nel cuore un bouquet di fiori bianchi, voluttuosi e raffinati, accompagna l'ingresso di una magnifica tuberosa, opulenta, ipnotica e seducente. La sua scia inibriante si impreziosisce nel fondo della composizione, grazie all'incontro tra le sensuali note ambrate, la persistente vaniglia e il cremoso legno di cedro. Una fraganza originale, vibrante e magnetica che sa distinguersi e farsi notare in ogni occasione." Na minha pele não se comportou bombástico como imaginei que seria, o que me surpreendeu negativamente (a surpresa negativa também a respeito do borrifador), não entendi como aconteceu já que meu corpo é oleoso e quente. Enfim, a apresentação e a cor do líquido são belíssimas, em relação ao perfume em si, é uma composição minimalista, tendo em vista que as poucas notas conversam muito bem entre si, mas esse minimalismo não traduz apenas o simples, há uma elegância que carrega o termo. [ATUALIZAÇÃO] A nota de coco, baunilha e leite ficaram bem mais presentes na secagem pro final, sinto inclusive um cheiro daquele doce de coco caramelizado que vende em shopping e nas portas das estações de metrô, que é feito com o coco, açúcar e a própria água do coco, pois então, cheiro disso com flor, bem doce... chega a ser o limite de doce que consigo usar em perfume mas creio que pra quem é dos gourmand, isso aqui é suavíssimo. Então o final dele fica assim, por vezes sinto doce de coco caramelizado, por vezes sinto cheiro de leite com açúcar ou leite com flor branca, mas tudo delicado numa embalagem que traz um dulçor pra pele, um dulçor que parece que nasceu naturalmente dela.

Just received my bottle in the mail and oh my goodness, do I love it! It reminds me SO MUCH of one of my very favorite fragrances, White Shoulders. If you've ever smelled White Shoulders, this is almost exactly like it! My mom is going to love it! White Shoulders has been her signature scent since before I was born, in 1977, and she still loves it; though the new formula is but a shadow of what it used to be, it is still the most gorgeous white floral fragrance ever (despite it's terrible name). Anyway, Monotheme's Tuberose is so close to WS, it's scary! It's a beautifully feminine and addictive scent. I highly recommend if you're a fan of white flowers like gardenia or jasmine, or even yellow ylang. Tuberose has that wonderfully rich and sweet scent that one loves about white flowers. There's no powder, no metal, no salt, no woods, but it's not boring either. Amber. Amber gives it its depth; a deeply pregnant and soothing, warm depth, while the sweet, heavenly white flowers soar! There is a yummy creaminess that permeates from beginning to end and top to bottom, which isn't to sweet or cloying, but just right. Weirdly enough, I don't smell any coconut at all, not that I would mind, but its not there for my nose. Mainly, and of the utmost import, Tuberose doesn't smell cheap! I don't smell anything synthetic! That was a big worry. I would hate that! But, I don't smell anything like that here; nothing plastic, synthetic, or chemical, thank goodness. I am SO impressed! And the bottle is really pretty. I wish the cap were glass, but if that's my only complaint, I'd say it's a win! Definitely a safe blind buy for anyone who enjoys white flowers, I promise! Tuberose is a crowd pleaser that's inoffensive and can be worn anytime, anywhere. I may need a back-up bottle!

I have been curious about the Monotheme Venezia line for a long time, but could only find their rose and cyclamen scents online--but suddenly one fragrance site is carrying a LOT of their scents now. I was thrilled to find this very reasonable tuberose at such a affordable price and it does NOT disappoint! ( Read through this comment thread--not one negative so far!) Tuberose is not a floral that everyone can wear and love--with my pale dry skin, super sweet white florals have always worked on me--scents like Fracas and Guerlain's Jardin De Bagetelle just smelled magical and wore well for hours. This scent is also beautifully packaged and lasting but not pushy. I am NOT a fan of coconut in fragrances, but I frankly cannot even perceive it in this scent. This is a soft, beautifully romantic super girly fragrance--I am no longer a girl but I still love the way this scent makes me feel!! I plan to try Monotheme's Camellia next, since I have almost finished my Bronnley Camellia, which is now discontinued!

I didn't know Truth or Dare to know about the similarity, but I knew the Klauk dupe of Truth or Dare, and it was because of this dupe that I took a chance on this perfume, which claims to be very similar to Madonna's. And by comparing it to the Klauk one, they really are very similar. It's an amber and vanilla perfume, which gives a super enveloping sweetness to the fragrance, making it warm and sensual. You feel the tuberose at the beginning, but in a fresh way, because it comes along with the coconut and petitgram, so here it doesn't scream, but it envelops, and it becomes super comfortable. It's a somewhat fresh perfume, which as it evolves, becomes fuller and sweeter due to a fresh tuberose, a striking vanilla and the amber that embraces all the other notes, making it an almost creamy perfume. It's delicious, super tasty and striking. I found it to be a perfume with presence and very sexy. I loved it.

This low cost perfume is a must have for tuberose lovers like me: it is a rich tuberose, creamy, intense and narcotic, sweetened by coconut (which however does not distort its essence, on the contrary it enhances it even more), and last many hours. Perfect perfume for the cold and spring period, in summer I see it too opulent and heavy. I don’t find any similarities with Gucci Bloom (which I also love): of course, the raw material is the same (the tuberose, of course), but while in Bloom the tuberose is clear, luminous and delicate, in Monotheme the tuberose is, on the contrary, at the maximum of its intensity and creaminess. It reminds me, rather, the late Truth or Dare of Madonna, now unavailable only online at crazy prices. I love this perfume, very little expense and a lot of yield, in fact it is never missing in my collection: for me the best Monotheme (not to mention the packaging, wonderful)!
