Lovely polite though not innocent
Can a tuberose scent be elegant, chic, yet sensual and classic? This is IMO the case of Tuberosa. You can feel the white flower bouquet leaded by the beautiful tuberose just from the beginning, ylang introduces in the potion the powdery velvety slightly carnal effect, while a hint of clove connects it to classic pre-1960's perfumes. The drydown is soft, powdery, woody and creamy, but still airy. It isn't a dense thick perfume (not so resinous as you would expect looking at the notes listed), it is a cologne, feminine, sweet, cheerful of an unconcerned aesthetic that still can't be felt as innocent in any way.
The evolution is quite fast on my skin as it tends to be the case with edc. On my skin it lasts 4 to 5 hours, on clothes it stays for days, what I consider a pretty good performance given the concentration.
Don't get the pyramid fool you, this has a transparent polite sillage, which makes it a non offensive day use perfume for an educated nose that has a love for both tuberose and vintage aesthetics.
I wonder if Germaine Cellier knew this one? Fracas can be a rebelious, provocative, noisy, fruity and spoiled daughter of Tuberosa. If you love Fracas but find it difficult to pull it off for everyday casual use, try this gem.
I want to give it an extra point for being fairly priced as opposed to the new trend quickly spreading all over niche houses giving crazy, out of proportion prices to their offers. This one gives great value for your money.
