Flos Mortis

Holy Moly! why is this - Flos Mortis - from Rogue Perfumery not talked about more. Heck, why is Rogue not talked about more. Well whatever, I’m just happy I know about this house that’s all... Such incredibly humble prices for perfumes that in my opinion are richer, more organic smelling and balanced than Ultra luxury houses like Roja Perfumes, Xerjoff, Clive Christian or Boadecia the Victorious. I feel that true art must display its value in execution not price. Price is the fraud of art it overrates it while true art is not priced high because it is confident in itself to be priced higher in the minds of its audience - Guerlain, Caron, Jean Desperez etc. Flos Mortis is an astonishing chypre, it is a shockingly appetizing and well blended tuberose and jasmine. It smells like Jasmine Oolong tea. It reminds me of when I lived in Indonesia. A cold jasmine oolong sweet tea beverage to drink on a commute. Colors I imagine when smelling the scent are a cherry, burgundy or maroon red, exactly like the color of the juice. An exotic, sweet, moody, fresh, bitter and dark gourmand created by two flowers that I am unrelentingly testy about but with a heavy hand of realistic rubbery, bloody leather and a fat, pungent, cluster of red curants to make it lovable. What an obscene concoction. This has made me want to seek out more jasmine and tuberose fragrances, but I will first gather Rouge’s. The rubbery, fatty leather paired with a juicy, tart, and jammy red currant gives the blend a hearty, bitter and metallic tea note on top of the massive jasmine, and the jasmine uses the tuberose as a sweetener to this tea. I am ready to consume and be cleansed. I am absolutely in love with this one, please bring it back. 🌸☕️🐮 10/10

Flos Mortis is the second Rogue Perfumery fragrance that I'm reviewing, after Champs Lunaires. While Champs Lunaires offers an enchanting, likeable interpretation of the mighty tuberose, Flos Mortis is a bit more challenging - but no less rewarding. As its name suggests, it is very Goth and truly unisex (even genderless) - just like death does not discriminate... Interestingly I don't feel the indolic components of either tuberose or jasmine very strongly in this fragrance (e.g I've owned several Lush and Carthusia fragrances that are much more indolic than this one). I would say that this is an old-school, yet somehow very contemporary scent. Tuberose, jasmine and osmanthus are present from the beginning to the end, joined by red currants, a very animalic leather and equally animalic musk, in that particular order. Osmanthus even manages to overpower the other two flowers; its fruity yet heavy aspects are stunningly amplified by red currant, leather and musk. As other reviewers have mentioned, the opening is quite camphorous, until the fruity facets take over. So, this fragrance is best described as floral-fruity-animalic. The opening is quite strong; it can even be gagging (at least to the uninitiated), but then it settles into something much more pleasant and wearable. If you love the goth aesthetics, or simply have a penchant for the dark side, then do try this one.

Since it wasn't brought back in the latest batch of bell jars and the Gratte-Ciel bottles are discontinued, Tubéreuse Criminelle seems to be relegated to the vault currently. Flos Mortis is reportedly its closest approximation and a rare spiritual successor. I'm glad Manuel Cross is tackling this profile, even in the echoes of a legend; it feels completely coherent with the rest of the Rogue lineup and is an obviously high quality creation in its own right. It's a kaleidoscopic tuberose: green, fleshy, and carnal. I pick up on narcotic and camphorous edges, but none of it reads as overly indolic to me. I seem to process the untamed aspects as freshness rather than decay. What it truly evokes for me is tea, specifically over-steeped jasmine green tea. I find it deeply comforting and nostalgic. While it leans further into leather and fruit as it dries down, it never completely sheds that central floral tea accord. A beautiful tuberose cathedral.

Really quite fascinating creation. I read the description that mentioned that 5% of the composition is made out of indoles and they weren't joking! It smells like an ancient Chinese medicine, camphorous, fresh even piercing at times. I find this quality beautiful, since it is exactly what I was looking for. In the heart it gets slightly fruity from the redcurrant, the tuberose stays but it warms up on the skin. The dry down is another joyful part for me the osmanthus and leather joins the fruity floral dream and it gives the perfume an interesting almost edible facet. Note that this isn't a gourmand but something about the texture of the leather feels chewy to me. If you like to drink osmanthus tea maybe you will get this sensation also. Overall I was mesmerized by this beauty. It is really so special to my heart. I find it truly artistic and for that reason I will be wearing it on special occasions when it's fitting the mood.

When I try out a fragrance I (wisely~) start with only 1-2 light sprays. If it's great I usually go add one or two...if it's amazing I go back and spray myself with the utter abandon of one whose toddler is asleep and work is remote~ This beauty is that last category. Yes, the tuberose is INDOLIC and mothball camphorous; but it's perfection if you love tuberose. The jasmine is grapey and just a supporting player, not at all stealing the spotlight (which happens frequently on my skin) and becomes merely a purple slightly sweet memory in the dry down; gently buffeted by an apricot-leather osmanthus musk. It's a skin scent in a few hours; but definitely hangs around, surprisingly me with little moments of diva tuberose joy for the entire day. *EDIT: This is one of the very small amount of back up bottles I have <3

"An indolic dirge" says the copy & it is! But in a Second Line sort of way, witty & vibrant, a dance with death that celebrates all the potentialities of existence. With the proviso that I've only ever dabbed Tubereuse Criminelle from a contemporary sample & the concession that without it Flos Mortis would not exist, I appreciate Criminelle but prefer to wear the Rogue. Same camphorous blast to start but where Criminelle is cerebral Flos Mortis is playful. Definitely goth but not at all mordant, too defiant. Grabbed up a bottle from Luckyscent as soon as I saw the notification below that it was discontinued. Will miss this when it's gone. Digging it as a summer scent, the menthol's refreshing. Memento mori🥀💀🥀 Wore this when Anne Rice died, seemed the ideal homage.

This perfume shocked me, because I really did not expect that tuberose could smell like this, at least in the opening. To be honest, the opening is really challenging for me, the first hour makes me feel a bit sick, the leather is very prominent, and with tuberose it really creates an atmosphere of a morgue... It's cold, it's raw, and though it's not as bad as hyrax from zoologist, all i could say is that the opening is really weird. The name sums it all, the flower of death (flos mortis). But after 1 hour, it becomes a green leather tuberose that feels quite yummy and pleasant, the leather is still there but only on a small dose, while the other notes kick in making the concoction much more wearable. It's a naughty fragrance, not a safe blind buy I assure you.

This is the perfume that has unlocked all the many facets of tuberose in all it's glory. I feel like I understand it in a way I was never able to fully grasp before. I was often puzzled when people would describe certain fragrances (i.e., Poison) as tuberose bombs! To me, tuberose was two things. Either a twin of gardenia, or a sharp, green thing. I get both of those in this perfume, along with the camphor, and even that grape soda effect I associate with Poison! There are others in this extraordinary line I prefer, namely Chypre Siam and the jasmine one (can't remember the name), and I want full bottles of both. However, I will always be grateful for experiencing Flos Mortis and learning how to recognize and appreciate tuberose on a much deeper level.

Wow! What a perfume powerhouse. My first thought was Serge Lutens Tubereuse Criminelle. It's not as strong or medicinal but not far off in the first half hour! On my skin the tuberose and jasmine are skanky divas rolling around on the floor tearing each other's hair out as they battle to be in no 1 position. The leather is present but standing back as the gals fight it out. A bit too shy. You have to wait an age before delicate osmanthus gets a chance to be detected. I think this leans a teeny bit to the feminine. The leather just doesn't stand out enough. It's surprising how quickly the sillage retracts back to average after such a BIG opening. Average longevity.

Very nice and dark tubereuses perfume. Despite his dark character It is more fresh than Deep what makes It very weareable. The leather gives to the fragance some animalic and masculine vibe and the osmanthus gives some sweetness, creamyness and fruity vibe. It remember me a lot to tubereuse noir by Zara but with much better longevity and overall a much higher quality, since the flowers here are very natural ant not synthetic. I find It a perfume for daytime use, overall un spring and fall, ir a nice night time perfume for summer. I find It a totally unisex scent. Scent: 9 Longevity: 8 Sillage: 6 Quality/price: 5 Versatility: 7 Originality: 7 Global: 8.5

Indolic tuberose as everyone below has mentioned, but the "red currant" note that some also describe as generic "red berries"--which this fragrance opens with--smells like astringent cherry cough syrup or lozenges. It's a glorious tuberose, yet the medicinal fruitiness is slightly more difficult to love for me. EDIT: Needed some time with it to come around. It definitely grew on me and would even go as far as saying the fruitiness that I initially struggled with is indispensable in the composition. Fully embracing (and loving) all facets of this stunner!

for me this starts with a lot of jasmine and red currant. it's a very pretty jasmine as well, and the red currant isn't super strong but just adds a slightly sweet/tart woody thing. as the drydown continues i get a lot more tuberose as well as some osmanthus. i get a hint of leather after being on the skin 1 hour+. this is a gorgeous scent, and the tuberose is not highly indolic or creamy, more spicy like someone else mentioned. this is a really lovely white floral perfume!

I haven't smelled a lot of tuberose fragrances so I really have nothing to compare this to. But I can say that I'm in love with this...I find it rich, deep, but surprisingly wearable. The leather note is not that noticeable. It's there but it doesn't scream leather. It just provides a grounding for the gorgeous indolic florals. Not a safe blind buy, but if you love tuberose please do get a sample. I'll be getting a bottle. :-)

This is lush. It takes you fathoms deep into its sea of fruity osmanthus and berries thickly dripping off the indolic tuberose and jasmine, on a bed of leather and musk. This is dark, thick and rich. It literally oozes indolic sensuality of things at the height of its beauty and at the dark edges of decay that begins to creep up on it. Glorious, gutsy and great! Not to be taken lightly.

a very well made tuberose. maybe black currant and some sweet candy here and there but nothing to cover this wonderful creation. better than tuberose criminelle. I would have preferred a little more performance. 9.5 / 10

Strong indolesl. The base notes are similar to Antique Antique. The spicy tuberose is hidden behind the scenes, from the stimulating, sharp and fishy green top notes to the honey-sweet fragrance that is never absent from the white flowers. Intense, dense, and thick, tuberose blooms at night, looking back on the nostalgic beauty of Antique Antique! Then came the secondary decoration - Indian jasmine, Antique Antique came to tuberose's home cameo and softened the tuberose. The front tone was once unpleasant. The properties appear similar to Serge Lutens Tubereuse Criminelle. Flos Mortis is slightly apricot creamy, with dark musk, and the fragrance is pure and always violent and raw. Tuberose itself is rich in characteristics, including smells similar to rubber, camphor or grapes. It is very wonderful. When a perfume uses tuberose, its presence must be the highest.

First minute has very much a cough syrup feel. Minty camphorous jasmine, with a lively and syrupy (though still quite natural to my nose) grape-y undercurrent. The floral element is quite creamy, and the overall composition through the majority of its lifespan is not too dark or medicinal if used in moderation - Do not overspray with this one! I can absolutely understand why some would have unpleasant associations, as these notes are all utilized in day-to-day cleaning and medicative products, but this perfume is something else entirely. High-quality ingredients, quite beautiful feminine fragrance 8.5/10

First impressions after two days of wearing - this is a rich warm, spicy tuberose that develops over hours. After the first hour the leather really blossoms. I can't pick the jasmine - but my nose is still naïve to this changeable lovely. It is gorgeous. Great longevity. Revisit - there is an opulence of over ripe white flowers in this fragrance. It almost drips with sensuality. I find it quite mysterious and addictive.

I struggle with indoles and tuberose in particular so it means a lot that i still find this perfume fascinating and well executed, because it is all about indolic tuberose! For me this is more a work of art than wearable, but I think there are people who can pull it off. Strong sillage and longevity.

By reading the different reviews I wonder if there is a quality control issue between the production batches. My experience is exactly what RisingChaos experiences, and nothing like other describe (long lasting? jasmine?). First of all the progression of this scent is FAST: - Cherry Cough syrup for the first 10 minutes - French milled soap for about 5 minutes. Is that the jasmine? too fleeting to tell. - Then a terrible phase in which the skanky leather starts appearing while the soap is still there and the overall effect is perfume layered with BO. Luckily this lasts a few minutes - Then the leather, but not the the leather of a high quality purse, rather the smell of a tannery, including a strong broth/bullion scent. After 1.5 hours on my - admittedly - very dry skin it is barely there and I have to stick my nose to it. I did a side by side comparison with Tubereuse Criminelle, and I can't help feeling cruel for that. While TC is still projecting a clean, strong, green, medicinal, realistic tuberose, Flos Mortis smells like a kitchen where a couple of days ago someone prepared a meat soup. Strangely, I think the worst part of the scent is its performance. One may like the soup smell, but at this price it should last longer. UPDATE: after 3 hours I can detect a faint floral scent, slightly indolic. Finally the jasmine! but it is so faint one has to really pay attention, like a whisper.

This starts off a bit rough. Smells like cough syrup in the beginning. Liquid Medicine for children covered up by a fruity flavor. I guess that is where the death reference comes from illness and medicine for it. But honestly as this fragrance goes along I don't get anything all that indolic about it. It settles into a nice fruity tuberose and osmanthus fragrance. Nothing all that unique or "death like" at all. Not his best work for the female side of things. In my opinion. That would be Chypre Siam which I own and his Tuberose & Moss is much better blended than this one. I would recommend that over this if you want a tuberose from this brand. The opening ruined this for me. Is it wearable? Yes, but getting past the opening is tough. The opening was unnecessary and unwanted.

Inizia con una esplosione fredda e mentolata,bianca come la morte e gelida. Pian piano emerge una leggera rotondità che rende più umana la fragranza,ma resta sempre uno sfondo amaro.Forse troppo. Fredda e lunare,con quel ricordo di tubereuse criminelle balsamico e pungente,si evolve restando fedele a se stessa,i fiori sono spremuti per esalare quei toni funerei canforacei e freddi che creano uno strano effetto insolito per chi non ha familiarità con queste strane fragranze di tuberosa mortale,ma sicuramente attraenti per gli amanti dei floreali notturni e lunari. Assomiglia molto a Tuberose di keiko mecheri. Forse è troppo amara e ha poca evoluzione.

I used to love this fragrance as it was a nice unisex floral to me with very good performance. But then one time I oversprayed and I started smelling like mothballs. I haven’t shaken the association since and I cannot really wear it anymore.

Very indolic tuberose opening, that will morph into a leathery/dirty jasmine in the drydown. Looks like an attempt to mash-up ELdO Jasmin et Cigarette with ELdO Vierges et Toreros, that smell both more accomplished. If not, it is at least 'very inspired by', to put things politely, and for sure, nothing that smells new. The over indolic tuberose results in being a bit too harsh to my nose and unbalancing the juice. This fragrance seems to be more a statement of 'hey, look how good I'm with my floral accords' more than an well planned and designed creation. Like for many other indie houses, one can tell that the ingredients are top notch, and there is a willingness to walk the 'extra mile'. But like for many other indie houses, the lack of perfume training and the absence of an experienced creative director is also blatant. And like for many indie houses, the non-IFRA compliant marketing is just laughable. That one could be a great end-of-study achievement for a perfumer school student, but at $85 for 30ml of this one, amateurism is not permitted anymore, and the bill tastes a bit bitter. I'd recommend SL Tubereuse Criminelle or HdP Tubereuse Animale any day over that one, which are both way better balanced and accomplished creations. Colder days, feminine, 25+

Opening smells like the same creamy, buttery smooth tuberose from Champs Lunaires... sitting beneath a more prominent accord of what's best described as cherry cough drops. It's bitter and slightly mentholic, almost aldehydic. The menthol settles out after ~10min and gets replaced by grape soda and skanky leather where it stays. In short, it's a slightly medicinal fruity floral with animalic undertones, given a hint of transparent lift from the jasmine. Like a pile of grape, red berry, and flower compost starting to decay. Moderate projection for 2-3hr, longevity 6-8hr. I've never smelled Serge Lutens Tubereuse Criminelle, but this reminds me of Xerjoff La Tosca if you added cherry and made it way more palatable. Still my least favorite Rogue, however.

Thankfully I'm testing from a free sample because on my skin this opens with a strong undertone of mothballs! I have several other tuberose heavy perfumes but none of them are camphorous like this one. I can understand a Mortis smelling of mothballs, however.

This is the one that made me look for a definitive definition of "indolic" and learn that there's not one and/or the word is often used incorrectly in perfume discussions. My first impression of the scent was expensive urinal cake. Unappealing, artificial, trying to hide the nasty. The drydown is powdery floral, but that men's room first impression lingers. I wiped a drop off the nozzle and from that I'm getting the camphor and cherry cough syrup others mention but none of that came through with a spritz. I get no fecal or manure notes (farm girl here, just trust me that it matters what makes the poo) but I can see the comparison to old plant water from a vase or mothballs. If this is peak indolic then I guess indoles just aren't for me. I'm fighting the urge to scrub just because I want to see if it further develops, but this is repulsive on a gut level.

This bright peach-colored juice is so intriguing. Minty camphor, pungent indoles, tart fruit. It’s very sweet, and does resemble grape soda, but is also so much more: green floral, blooming and decay all at once. There’s also a strong rubbery note similar to Lush Lust, which makes me think there’s a shared jasmine ingredient. It’s not a crowd-pleasing scent at all, and although I usually like white florals and botanical scents, this one is overwhelmingly powdery sweet. It really blows out the unique character of tuberose, in a way that makes every other tuberose look absolutely tame. Worth trying if you love the flower, but if not I'd skip; this is as niche as niche gets.

I never found Flos Mortis to be particularly offensive. The camphor + eucalpytus opening was a surprise to me, and brought such core memories of my old nanny who took care of me and my family up until I was 9 before she had to move away to take care of her actual family. I miss her a lot, and maybe she is not here with us and have since seen the gates, but this truly smells like those nights where I was sick, and the strong scent of Vicks Vaporub radiating from my chest and back, combined with my nanny’s floral scented body powders and oil she got from the night market, ruminating and putting me back to sleep as I cuddle in her arms. I feel like a 6 year old kid again. Would I want to be smelling like that? Initially, no. And I was strong on that judgement after I had worn the decant for the first few couple of times. But then it kept calling for my name, again, and again, and again. I can’t stop sniffing my arms when I wear this, and I absolutely love the dry down of the tuberose in here, and every Flos Mortis’s tuberose rendition perfumes, particularly Champs Lunaires. Even that perfume reminded me of those core memories, and they had prompted the start of my journey to find a good tuberose that smells like the dry down, stripped away from the mentholated, eucalyptus, camphor initials and backgrounds of it all. But then even after decants of tuberose bouquet extravaganzas, I fo back to this, like I did at 7 years old, coming crying to my nanny after scraping my knee against the rocky roads because I was chasing the ice cream man outside of our house. Also, I have heard that Tubereuse Criminelle by Serge Lutens smells exactly like this, and somebody in my area is selling the scented papers of it. And hell yeah, it is quite exact but I’d argue Serge and Sheldrake’s renditions are deeper, and veering towards the seductive, gothic and vampiric side of this DNA. I’m trying to score a decant of it so that I can properly test it on my skin and give a verdict, but I’m waiting for STC to restock A La Nuit so I can have a full Serge experience. STC girl I am looking at you!!

An Olfactory Experience that is Hauntingly Beautiful, if the angel of death, succubus, or female vampires, wore a scent it would be Rogue Perfumery's - Flos Mortis. An indolic yet hypnotizing concoction of traumatised tuberose and bruised jasmine. The indolic yet intoxicating aroma of these two roughened up flowers, fragrant white petals no longer pure but now battered and deflowered, evokes the imagery, passion, and intense emotion of pleasure that comes with pain, and pain that comes with pleasure. The indolic opening can come across as medicinal, almost as if it was a bouquet that was placed inside a stone cold marbled mausoleum along with a freshly preserved corpse. The embalming chemicals never becomes so strong that it gets unpleasant, it always stays perfectly balanced by the ghostly yet persistent whispers of sweet-fruity osmanthus and red currant, always present and heard but never over powering the floral aspect. This unique perfume is definitely very wearable. It is such a different perspective and concept on narcotic white florals and I am captivated. I think I will be getting a full bottle as soon as my little sample vial runs out. The scent can smell a little challenging when sniffing directly from the skin and at the start however the silage cloud/trail that you leave is most mystifying. When I first sampled it my first impressions were not very good, but something about it, I just could not take my mind off it and sampled it again and fell in love with it. If you are fascinated by or are into any of these things that I'm about to list (Vampire, ghosts, gothic aesthetics, dark-Victorian aesthetics, vintage perfumery, death related topics, haunted houses, mortuaries, black magic, witches) then you must give Flos Mortis a sample! It is a piece of olfactory art ! Plus it doesn't comply with IFRA so you know what you're getting is real, undiluted and unadulterated.

This is the first scent that I've ever found truly disturbing. Flos Mortis a nineteenth century horror story in an olfactory medium. This perfume's theme of death is both up front and immediate. Most of it is dominated by a cold and unapproachable floral, reminiscent of a villainous old woman, someone like Ms Haversham. This floral blends seamlessly into a sweet chemical smell, one that evokes mothballs, embalming fluid, and fresh plastic flowers. Beneath it all is a savory smell that is somewhere between blood and beef broth. The floral eventually fades and you're left with a musky, medicinal smell on your skin. We are so accustomed to fragrances that attempt to win our approval, to at least try to be sexy and alluring. Instead, Flos Mortis is telling us a fascinatingly dark story. It is the presence of an aristocratic old woman, a cruel and villainous widow who died a long time ago. This scent is the small of her funeral and this is the scent that accompanies her apparition whenever it appears. My wife loves both florals and gothic scents, so she's probably the exact audience for Flos Mortis. I can't see very many men wanting to wear this, maybe Peter Murphy or Rozz Williams back in the day. Flos Mortis is very feminine and very, very morbid. But I would say it is a brilliant scent for what it is.

Astonishing opening kick of almost fermenting tuberose and a rubbery odour very much like the smell of newly-acquired Wellingtons. Rich, potent and out-there in terms of perfumery boldness. Bravo Manuel Cross! This tuberose isn't pretty. It's the real deal and Rogue Perfumery has caught it at the apex of its blossoming, pumping out camphorous scent and beginning to rot, while still standing tall and glorious in the dying rays of its last, shining days in the sun. It's a true gardener's love song, conveying knowledge and lived experience of tuberose. What I detect as rubbery has been described by others as mothbally or camphorous and medicinal. It hits the nose in the same way as mothballs but it doesn't stink, to my nose. It's lush and abundant, which lifts the perfume into art. After 30 minutes the Jasmine arrrives and pretties up the dark descent, with a cassia-like fruitiness (red current?) and Osmanthus rounding the fragrance out and imbueing it with a full-bodied sense of completion. This is bold and interesting up close, while the trail it leaves is beautiful; pleasing to perfumistas and those around them. Haiku of the day gardener's love song the last days of tuberose rubber boots and all

Upon smelling Flos Mortiis from Rogue Perfumery, I have a sense that for casual perfume wearers, this is going to lean either one of two ways. “Old lady” or “headshop.” While I don’t consider my enthusiasm for fragrance casual by any sense of the word, I certainly don’t want to imply that I am better or smarter than any of them–there are definitely aspects of both a sort of vintage costume jewelry cough drop mothball glamour and that ubiquitous champaca incense element of a bohemian bazaar. But it’s all wrapped up in the shadows of an Edgar Allan poem, the honeyed sweetness of romantic sentiment laced with the crumbling bitter mausoleum creaking coffin lid tang of decay, rounded out with the crimson kiss of red currant fruiting sickeningly in the dirt of a freshly turned grave. So maybe this is old lady juice, but it’s definitely the grand dame in the ancient portrait above the mantel upon which perches a resin-feathered raven, whose tarnished visage follows you in every corner of the drafty parlor, whose bones creak under the floorboards you are standing on, whose phantom hand rests lightly upon your shoulder now.

A white flower powerhouse that packs a strong punch in the opening. You either like this kind of heady sweet perfume or you don't. If a white flower scent is interesting beyond the sweetness, then I'm game for this kind of attention (some of my favorites include McQueen Parfum, Fracas, Armani Prive Vert Malachite, Fendi Furiousa) Here it's done beautifully. Starts off sweet and succulent but the dry down takes a 180 and becomes a skin scent that is rich, soft and buttery. I'm thinking it's the leather coming out making this change directions, but it is unlike any other leather I've experienced. Here it serves as a warm backbone to enhance the florals, and the effect is very very nice and interestingly unisex. But if you are looking for a leather heavy fragrance, you won't find it here as the flowers are the main focus. This is a really good unusual take on the white flower genre, and defiantly one worth looking into. Thumbs way up.

Wow, this is exceptional! I won't wax poetically to repeat previous reviews. This perfume is fruity sweet, slightly mentholated/medicinal wintergreen, heavily indolic tuberose, and mothballs. You will love or hate it. My only reservation of buying a full bottle immediately is that the longevity is questionable. I have a rollerball so it is hard to say how the spray performs. It is undoubtedly my favorite fragrance from this house. Old lady Victorian mansion vibes for sure...pretty girls and boys need not apply.

This one just does not work for me. The tuberose is the aldehydic type...IMO..way too "perfumey" and raw. The blend nneded "something" to smooth it out and maybe add some warmth/creaminess...??? It does get slightly better in the drydown,if you can get thru the cloying first phase. Pass,for me.

The indoles here might be challenging. The opening punches with indoles and something medicinal, camphor like. If you can tolerate it, you will be rewarded with a beautiful, sensual mix of tuberose, jasmine and red currant. Humid, sensual, uber feminine. I like it a lot.

This stuff is great! Only thing to add to the comprehensive reviews below is pretty prominent camphoraceous note at the opening (which I love).
