Tubéreuse Nue

Out of the 5 Tom ford Frags I own, this is probably my favorite (I do love the current Myrrh Mystique but that’s on a totally diff spectrum). I got this shortly after it was released. I had mentioned it to my ex boyfriend that it was on my list of perfumes I wanted, and we had only been dating for a short period of time. He surprised me that afternoon by telling me we had to make a stop somewhere and he sped off with me in the late spring early summer. We arrived across the state to the bigger mall and I hadn’t been to a mall in forever. We were at a Nordstrom and I wandered like a kid in a candy store. He met me there as he was trying to park. I still had no idea what we were doing there. He asked me where the Tom ford counter was and I took him over and he asked me which was the scent I showed him earlier, and sprayed it for him and he said yes I like that a lot. And then just whipped out his CC and got me a bottle and I said no! (This was back when saks and neimans used to offer 25% off on fragrances monthly but that stopped around 2023, and now only happens once a year during BF to my knowledge and then you get the not so great 15% off on all the main department stores a few times a year, but 25% is much better than 15). Anyways, he bought it despite me trying to tell him how there’s was a sale currently at Saks where he could get $50 off but he was impulsive like that and even opened the perfume before I could, which annoyed me but whatever. Despite his annoying tendencies his heart was in a good place, and very generous- no idea what garnered this present, he hadn’t done anything deceitful, and we hadn’t been together for long either so I wasn’t overly invested either. We remain friendly with one another and when I spray this lovely scent on me and haven’t for a while I think of him. It smells light and airy, clean and floral, but also has rich bitch vibes to it. It’s a unique perfume, and didn’t realize how much I like tuberose scents until joining this site and how some of my favs were often combined w tuberose, like my beloved tuberose gardenia by EL. I really love this frag and it’s something I reach for quite often in the warmer months (and occasionally winter if I wanna switch it up). I love the white bottle too, it matches the angelic vibe of this scent, it’s not loud or screechy nor is it a whisper. It can be worn day to night though I feel like it’s a special scent to waste wearing in an office, but if you want to it works. I like that it can be a bit more powerful if sprayed more, but it’s never too much. It’s a beautiful take on tuberose, and find the longevity to be moderate, about 4-5 hrs, and silage to be ok. It’s perfect with a floral or lace mini dress, a delicate necklace and not much else. I am happy I have it in my collection and really hope TF doesn’t discontinue it or make tweaks to it.

I got a decant of this because I was curious. In the beginning, I wasn't really wowed by it - I felt it was too heavy on jasmine. It was certainly a scent I've never really smelt before. But letting the decant sit and leaving the perfume to macerate (for about a month) - oh my god! I am obsessed. Addicted. I'm scraping at the walls of the decant like an addict trying to salvage the last of the drug in his baggy. I've done my research into tuberose scents as I've kind of noticed I tend to go for white florals - specifically ones with tuberose - without really noticing the pattern. This is so incredibly luxurious. It's signature tuberose bubblegummy-minthy, not in-your-face candy sweet, more like honey. It has surprisingly good longevity of about 5-6 hours without being overwhelming, making it a perfect daytime, everyday scent for all year though I have to say that it doesn't perform extremely well in temperatures lower than 10°C. The benzoin and suede accord blend in perfectly with tuberose and create a sexy animalic blanket, kind of like the smell of your bedsheets after your lover leaves in the morning (all in harmony with florals) - that makes it sophisticated and sexy enough for a simple evening scent. The perfume stays surprisingly long on clothes. After 6+ hours of wearing this perfume on your clothes, your clothes will just pleasantly smell like freshly done laundry with the musky powdery accord left behind - and I'm saying that as someone who doesn't really like clean/laundry/musky scents. I'll be watching out for a full bottle of this on sale. I wear this in neutral to warm weather and reach for L'interdit Rouge by Givenchy, another bubblegummy but spicy warm & woody, in the winter time.

White floral perfection. Heavenly fluffy, lactonic tuberose, brought closer to earth with subtle hints of pepper, chocolate, and oud. Fortunately, I don't get anything negative here (plastic?!) that some others get. At least that's not how the suede smells to me. Runs pretty linear after drying down, it's true, but who cares as it's creamy, lush, opulent deliciousness from beginning to end. Speaking of end, this doesn't end until I wash it off. Nice projection for several hours then closer with lovely wafts here and there. Leaves a gorgeous trail in its wake. Makes me think of a Tuberose version of Shanghai Lily as it has the same vibe. I have a 10ml. now. I know I am going to need a bottle of this. Oops! Almost forgot. Happy New Year Everyone! Edit- 1/8/22 - People, be careful when purchasing this fragrance. I purchased the travel sprayer from Sephora, and it is gorgeous. I purchased a bottle from a well-known grey market seller that most of us here use and it didn't smell the same at all. I had to send it back. There are tons of fakes on all the secondhand selling sites (new fakes and people trying to offload their fakes), so be careful there too. If the price sounds too good to be true proceed with caution because it most likely is. Next time, I'll get it from a department store, but it looks like I'll have to wait for a sale and stick to travel sprayers until then because this is ridiculously over-priced right now.

This smells clean, slightly but not overly sweet-ish, very refined and soft. It reminds me of unsweetened bubblegum wrapped in clean cotton, if that somehow makes sense. The bottle suits the fragrance quite well. It reminds me of fresh, soft laundry, big cumulus clouds, a newborn baby that has just been bathed or a new hoodie that you just bought. Although I've never smelled this, it somehow brings back a lot of memories. It reminds me of my childhood, somehow our house always smelled like this and it still does when I come back to my parents every once in a while. I like this more than I'd like to admit. It's different, it's not a crazy compliment getter and it's also not overly strong or extremely polarizing. I find this to be very inoffensive, soft and clean. This is one of those scents that people won't go crazy for (or even notice on you) but every once in a while there will be a person that understands this and will tell you how good and unique you smell. I hate that I like this so much because, although I think it's a great fragrance, it's ridiculously overpriced. I doubt I will buy this anytime soon due to my financial situation and the fact that I'd prefer to buy something else for that amount of money, but I will always spray this whenever I find a tester in a store, just to take a deep dive into my childhood memories and feel super comfortable, as if I'm wrapped up in a soft blanket.

I love it. Amazingly, after reading and watching so many negative reviews, I decided to take my chance on a 10ml travel spray. And it's fantastic. I've gotten rid of all versions of L'interdit and My Way after a few months of wear. Rouge Malachite gave me the same physical gag reaction that Do Son, Fracas, Alien Fusion, and Truth or Dare did. Carnal Flower's herbal and tropical accents overwhelmed the flower for me. But this much maligned naked tuberose is powerful and pleasant in equal measures. It's not difficult to grasp but is nuanced enough to not be dismissed as another bubble gum tuberose whose fragile structure cannot hold up against longer wears. The initial blast renders a sweet but peppered fleshy white floral. The Sichuan pepper is much less sharp than black pepper and functions as a texturizing agent for the flower so it isn't completely marble smooth. I wouldn't call the scent spicy. It's opulent but not overwhelming. In the dry-down, it becomes warm and cozy, cocooning but still sexy. I love smelling the soft remnants of this scent after waking up in the morning. It still feels seductive after 12 hrs of wear. To me, this white floral isn't cold, glass-like, indolic, green, or fresh. Instead, it's a warm, enveloping white floral that lasts for many hours. I don't think of it as linear as it does develop subtly. No tectonic shifts, however. I don't see this on a man.

Fellas don’t sleep on this, this is a great fragrance and can easily be worn by a man! I am a mature, black male and I am rocking the hell out of this fragrance right now for summer. It is definitely a large opening of tuberose very flowery but with a nice dry down that brings into a flowery musky and flower amber scent that is quite relaxing....this is for the experienced ...you know what you’re doing and you are a man you can actually where this with the upmost confidence. I tend to layer this with one of my other private blends to give it a unique signature which has follks saying wow you smell like _____ and flowers 💐 (sorry I will not divulge the private blend that I use to layer with this for my own selfish reasons LOL ) Which I think is the key to wearing this fragrance although I have worn it by itself just as easily. The great thing about Tom Ford’s private blends (which I think a lot of people are missing out on) is that you can use combinations of these guys to create your own signature fragrance it’s sometimes that’s why these seemingly single note yet weird fragrances are hated by people with comments like oh it’s a flower bomb flower flower flower blah blah blah most of y’all don’t even wait the 3 to 6 hours that you should wait to let the fragrance evolve before you start bad mouthing it 😂😂 this is probably one of the longest lasting PBs on the shelf too!

Just checking back in because I can’t believe people are not loving this frag. Again I just think you’re not waiting long enough to let it live it’s life. This is one of THE most unique Masterpieces he has ! Good projection, phenomenal scent especially in hot summer days I mean it’s been in the high 90s lately and I’ve been trying to make Soliel Blanc my summer frag but it just doesn’t hold up to the heat and then I feel like you don’t get a ton of compliments on it because a lot of people are probably thinking oh that’s a nice smelling suntan lotion that he has on. Unless you’re dressed up . But I’m pretty casual during the summer usually shorts and a T-shirt ....But with Tuberose Nue during the summer there is NO question that this is a perfumed scent one is wearing....this is a flowery, animalic, musky scent that will radiate from you all day from just one application in the morning. The big giant flower opening really does subside after a few minutes and then you’re left with a harmonious treat for the rest of the day. I have at least 15 other frag‘s including private blends by Tom Ford and I have to say this is definitely one of my top choices. This is the flowery animalic beast mode version of Tobacco Vanille during the summer ... DO NOT OVERSPRAY lol 2-3 atomizations is really all you need. This is very unisex especially after the opening. ✊🏾✌🏽

I feel this perfume doesn't get the flowers she deserves - no pun intended - it’s honestly one of my favourite tuberose perfumes. It’s unique and I’ve yet to smell anything similar! It’s very aggressive when it first goes on but let it sit for a couple of minutes even and the way the lily note (which I find reminiscent of Lys Fume, nice and waxy) just gives way to this ever sweetening tuberose is gorgeous. It’s creamy and fluffy, and the way the tuberose and benzoin blend together is just so unlike anything I’ve smelled prior! It lasts a good amount of time and becomes a stunning skin scent by the end of the day. The suede in here is so real smelling it almost feels like you can feel the material on your nose as you sniff it. It’s clean, sexy, and elegant. Like a white fur coat and gold sunglasses. So upset to hear they’re discontinuing :( It feels like a clinical look at the beauty of the flower that is tuberose. The flower feels naked yet shrouded in a mysterious blonde ego. I honestly cannot put into words how much I adore this perfume.

A soft yet sensual white floral fragrance that feels intimate and slightly mysterious. It opens with a delicate tuberose that is not loud or heady, but rather airy and skin-like, softened by subtle musky and powdery undertones. As it develops, it becomes more creamy and warm, with a clean sensuality that feels like “bare skin” rather than a heavy floral bouquet. There’s also a slightly smoky, almost suede like depth that adds sophistication without overpowering the floral heart. Compared to Diptyque Do Son, which is brighter and more luminous with a fresh, airy tuberose vibe, Tubéreuse Nue feels darker, closer to the skin and a bit more sensual. Do Son is more “breezy floral,” while Tubéreuse Nue is more “soft night-time floral.” Compared to Gucci Bloom, which is lush, dense, and very white floral heavy in a traditional feminine way, Tubéreuse Nue is more restrained and refined. Bloom feels more like a full bouquet in bloom, while Tubéreuse Nue is more subtle, powdery, and intimate, less loud, more personal.

Posting this here also , in case no one reads the reviews on the fragrance intro section. I got a sample from Holt’s from my friend and I am hooked !!! It launches on Feb 1 st and I will get my bottle that day. It’s my favourite fragrance as of late . I did not expect to love this. It’s a heavy white floral , it’s sex in a bottle yet it’s very sophisticated. It has an old school vibe but it’s made modern if that makes any sense. It’s dense , powdery , heavy but airy light, it’s WHITE , SWEET , MILKY fluffy , aldehyde vibe going on and a vanilla drydown due to tonka and benzoin. I am out of my mind about this one . People compare it to fracas but more modern. All I can say it was love at first sniff. And I am not a tuberose nor a white floral fan. I don’t mind neither but aslo they aren’t my favourite perfumes , but THIS ,,,, it’s animalistic and masterpiece to me. It also has a suede note , I do not detect oud at all. But some woodyness for sure. It’s a little bit dry at times but I don’t mind that.

I bought this one because I heard it was going to be discontinued, and because I’m a Tom Ford fanboy and a tuberose lover, I got hit with the FOMO and blind bought it. It was a blind buy that worked out for me! In the opening, along with the tuberose, you get a lot of lily, which gives a bubblegum, doll head kind of feeling, which is very feminine and doesn’t really reflect the complexity of the Tom Ford brand in my opinion. When it dries down, that’s where it gets more complex. I wouldn’t say that I per se get to dissect this scent in the sense that I recognize the suede, the cacao or oud, for example. It’s definitely a tuberose forward fragrance. In that sense, the name is spot on, because it is quite the “naked” tuberose. I like it, I’m happy with my blind buy. I specifically find it cozy. It’s not the kind of scent that I would say that is the most unique tuberose fragrance, or one that I would recommend people chase after while it’s still around.

I smelled this on an anniversary, 10 years of having been coupled up with my husband. My impression upon that first wearing is that the scent was a strong but natural smelling tuberose and a bit of smoothness in the base. I tried maybe 15 other tuberose fragrances over the next couple of months and nothing was like this. Fracas is similar but way too cold and austere in comparison. This is sexier. I bought 6 samples at a decent price so that I wouod not be so tempted to buy an entire bottle, but if I see one for a good price (maybe around half off) I’d snag it. This one is special, especially given my association with a special occasion. I do agree with others about the opening that is a bit plasticky or even rubbery (from the ad copy it makes sense, it’s supposed to be latex) but overall it fades to the lily and suede accords with the tuberose and its beautiful. I don’t get oud or distinct spice.

UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW . I have revisited this scent for the winter and it’s doesn’t disappoint at all. I have learned through much trial and error how to wear this scent. I spray 2 times right in the middle of my neck after getting dressed and I smell it all day. I have also layered this 2 ways: A) with 1 spray of Patchouli Absolu on each wrist — this is absolutely amazing 🤩!!!!!! Great for the day time! B) 2 sprays of Ebènè Fumé on the back of my hands or wrists —Beautiful combination for the evening ⭐️ C) thinking about doing a layer with OUD 🪵... But I only wear that when it 🌧 or ❄️ And right now we’ve had nothing but beautiful weather. I’ll update you when that happens ... This is heaven to wear and lay with. The dry down is beautiful and lasts forever. I wish all of his most recent stuff was as potent and the strong and long lasting as this. Y’all be sleeping 🛌 😴 on this ☝🏽!

I love this for what it represents. Not that I as a man would wear it publicly any time, but for the fact that it a testament for the creativity of Tom Ford as a fragrance house. Their private blend is indeed unconstraint of mainstream perfumery, as he once described it. You could somehow smell that these guys just began with a note in the lab and ended up with this. But, remaining in the subject of scent and usability, I imagine this being perfect on a woman wearing white and bright clothing at spring and summer early mournings. A very sensitive, gentle and, forgive my unpredicted imagination, vulnerable scent. And I think the word "nue" embodies the vulnerability of the scent. Interesting. The pricing, on the other hand, is kind of naiv. The fact that you can get 100ml Naxos for less than a 50ml this is quite unpleasant.

@raidiological real tuberose has both camphorous and bubblegum-like facets too it, that’s why so many tuberose perfumes, especially good expensive niche tuberose perfumes, will have them. It may not work for *you*, and it’s part of why tuberose can be a polarizing note, but it definitely works because that’s how the actual flowers smell-camphorous, and often bubblegummy, just like how real gardenia has unmistakable notes of bleu cheese/mold/mildew, yet even that is a desirable trait among those seeking out a realistic gardenia perfume. Same thing with jasmine and poop, lilies and death/rotting meat, and so on. Anyway now I’m just rambling sorry. I leave a separate actual review for this later when I have time, but for now let me just say that this is a camphorous, bubblegummy, buttery tuberose masterpiece!

im used to burning benzoin amber on occasion, sometimes with dried flowers to create a bahkoor effect, tubereuse nue mimics this very well . a very dry white floral bouquet paired with dry ambers . if youve ever had raw cacao pod youll recognize traces of it here mixed with the suede and oud . this is slightly comparable to kim kardashian in its approach but they are different scents, they both have this spicy+woody+white floral+tonka situation that im always welcoming to . getting emma frost vibes from this . this is definitely easy to dislike or even hate though the scent itself is polarizing in TF fashion, but its a big love from me . sad to see its DC so soon, dont think this one was given a fair shot like the neige/blanc/brulant . no perfumer is listed but i believe it is sonia constant in the mix

Heaven on earth ! Tuberose nue is a very classy sophisticated feminine fragrance. It’s really ,musky and powdery. Love the suede note in here ,it’s dense ,creamy and has an animalistic narcotic vibe. The vanilla notes are amazing ,I guess it’s benzoin and tonka that give it a vanilla vibe. To me it has a little bit of a Chanel feel or aldehyde Vibe , or like Caleche but it’s denser than any Chanel or hermes fragrances. It has a sweetness going on that may come from the tonka and the cacao . I can smell the styrax quite well in here ,which give that old school vibe. In LOVE !!! Classy ,sexy sophistication !!!! I want the small and big bottle of this . My son said it has a coconut or bubblegum smell , I do not detect . As far as tuberose fragrances to me this is up there with the BEST !!

I just tried this, yesterday while walking through Nordstroms. This starts off with a bold chemical explosion of Tubereuse - which almost resembles a plastic that Mattel toys used to use in their dolls, toys -- Barbie Dolls. The first hour of this - is an endurance test. I wasn't sure that I would make it past the beginning - because it felt like a scrubber at times. Then about an hour into the wear of this - this becomes a beautiful, heavenly, angelic tubereuse -- so worth the first hour of headache. This dry down phase is really beautiful - If you are a tuberose fan, I would definitely try this. Perhaps your first hour of wear you will enjoy more than I did. Even if it is a bit of a challenge - the second hour of wear really turns into something quite fantastic!

I have to say, Tubereuse Nue has totally surprised me. Like Soleil Blanc, I did not like it that much on paper, but on my skin it's absolutely divine. Tuberose is a major component, which is not a shock to me, the Lily provides it a waxiness which along with Jasmine, surrounds you in a cocoon of white flowers that is addictive and carnal. The Benzoin provides a warmth to the scent, whilst Cacao also provides a boost of warmth. I only get the Sichuan Pepper from the scent in the cap of the perfume and sometimes briefly on my skin but it's not present that much. All in all, it's a very nice fragrance and would be a great introduction to white flower scents.

I wanted to try this out just to compare it to Gucci Bloom. I ended up loving it, although not quite as much as I do Gucci Bloom. It starts out with the same bubble gum tuberose before a vaguely powdery shampoo-like accord pops up. Then after a few hours a waxy lipstick-like accord briefly appears before the chocolate and tonka notes kick in. The lily, tuberose, and jasmine didn’t turn as indolic and animalic as I thought they would although I suspect they would during warmer weather. I could also see the chocolate and tonka notes making this a bit much for warmer weather. Overall, I enjoyed this a great deal and wouldn’t mind trying it out again someday.
