Lady Tubereuse

This is a dream of a fragrance. A real guilty pleasure. I can't believe how much I love this; every evolution, every single moment, from top to bottom. While this is not a gourmand, I still find it scrumptious, and I especially love the yummy top notes. I just want to keep spraying and spraying and spraying to experience them again and again. It's that lightly spicy citrusy ginger mixed with sweet fruity notes and a nectarous tuberose that grabs me right from the start. I'm not the biggest fan of ginger in perfumes but I love the way it is done here. It is neither overly spicy nor too hot but gives a little bit of zing that adds warmth and brilliance and keeps this scent from being flat. It even has a little bit of a cardamon honey aspect to it that I really love. Fortunately, the top notes stick around for a while before being joined by a trio of creamy florals, sweet angelica, amber, tonka, and vanilla. What is wonderful is that this is a long ride, that lasts for several hours until the base of woody notes, vetiver, and musk show up, which further beautifully accentuates the other notes. They add even more fullness to this scent, making it richer and more sumptuous than it is already. It is a rare thing for me to love every facet of a fragrance, as there is usually something that keeps it from being total perfection, but this perfume is one such blissfully delicious experience that I find just perfect. How fitting that a perfume that was love at first sniff was purchased for less than half price on Valentine's Day, which was great luck for me as this is usually very pricey. But I love this so much that even if I didn't get it on sale, it would be worth every penny with how much I am enjoying it. It is downright delectable and satisfying in every way. Oh, and the bottle is real pretty too.

So, I purchased this fragrance on a lark after wishing to expand my current, extremely small, tuberose-centric perfume rotation. And I love this fragrance! Lady Tubereuse is an ethereal tuberose perfume that is accompanied by a host of gorgeous, supporting notes & accords. I'm not certain what mixed, fruity openings smell like. But there is a light, citrus opening note that immediately lightens-up the fragrance. I attribute this "lightness" to the angelica, along with the ginger. Maintaining its floral tuberose core, Lady Tubereuse develops on skin with some gentle lily and many wonderful base~notes. There's zero green-ness here. And the presence of vanilla, tonka and musk lend a creaminess to the fragrance. The amber, resin and woody base anchors the scent in place. The lightness remains throughout the perfume's wear. This fragrance is blended so well, it is absolutely, 1000% lovely. Just buy this!! It's like no other tuberose fragrance I've experienced.

There aren't many reviews on Lady Tubereuse, i think there's only one review in english when i checked the youtube... So i blind bought this. At the opening this is a promising new take on tuberose, in which they pair the tuberose with the sourness of citrus n ginger. The citrus sensation refuses to back down in the presence of the lady, and they sing together side by side. And this, for me, is the best part of this perfume. I'd love this perfume to stay this way longer, but alas in the dry down, when ylang ylang enters the equation, the citrus is finally giving up its effort, and leaves the stage, allowing the ylang to sing accompaniment to the lady... And the final result is the bubblegummy tuberose in the vibe of Piguet Fracas or even closer to BDK Perfume's Tubereuse Imperiale. This lady has around 8 hours lasting power with moderate silage and projection... For those who loves sweet floral genre, this one's for you.

Wow. A fantastic, gentle cloud of femininity. Tuberose, yes, a little spicy-gingery tuberose in the first few minutes which I love and suprised about, because tuberose is usually bubblegummy in perfumes... But that's just the first few minutes,and then it settles into... into something which is hard to describe. Cause if I say sweet & fluffy you could associate it with one of those harsh marshmellow scents with the burnt caramel note but no no no this is nothing like that. Yes, it is sweet, but not cloying. It is gentle, sweet, pure, i'd love to say innocent, but nooo, this is the perfume which seems innocent but it's a real hook in disguise. So at the end of the day, it is a kind of tuberose I love, with sweet, vanilla-tonka-amber based of heaven. Sillage is moderate, but the longetivity is very good, two sprays in the morning and you can still feel it in the evening.

Tuberose is one of my favourite notes ever, I like all the possible varieties, from bubblegummy to green and carnal ones. Ginger and tuberose combination can be challenging. I absolutely hate it in L'Interdit Rouge, and like it in Alien Fusion. In Lady Tubereuse ginger is quite spicy, I would even say peppery, but because the tuberose here is not overly sweet, the combination is not nauseating, but somehow harmonious. I think the most prominent notes are ginger/tuberose and quiet, but still noticeable lily. The combination of the notes somehow creates even slightly smoky accord. I don't get much ylang ylang. The fragrance doesn't smell synthetic, it has a bit of mysterious and seductive mood, it is quite addictive, my only wish would be more intense projection. Longevity is good. I think this can be worn all year around. A very beautiful fragrance overall!
