A tuberose perfume smells of a heady, creamy white flower, so strong that perfumers generally use it in moderation, and the notes around it set the mood. For a green, softly creamy tuberose, try Joyeuse Tubéreuse by Guerlain. For a sunny one with coconut and amber, try Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford. Below, 16 perfumes are grouped by what the flower meets.

What does tuberose smell like?

Tuberose is a white flower native to Mexico. Wikipedia says its overwhelming fragrance has been distilled for perfumery since the 17th century, after the flower reached Europe. The name comes from the Latin tuberosa through French tubéreuse, meaning swollen or tuberous, and refers to the roots. It has nothing to do with roses.

Smelled on its own, it is a heady, creamy white flower. Wikipedia adds that the essence is so strong it generally has to be used in moderation. That is why the same flower can feel cool in one perfume and rich in the next: the notes around it do the steering. Our page on every tuberose perfume we stock lists the full range. Here the picks are grouped by what tuberose meets.

Tuberose sits in the heart with coconut, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom, over white musk, animal notes and amber. Dominique Ropion composed it in 2005. According to the house, tuberose headspace analysis, a way of reading what a flower gives off, partly shaped it. The house also counts Carnal Flower among its perfume extracts. It is unisex, and voters pick it for spring, summer and fall, by day or night.

Често задавани въпроси

What does tuberose smell like?
Tuberose smells like a heady, creamy white flower. It is so strong that perfumers generally use it in moderation, and the notes around it decide the mood. Carnal Flower pairs it with eucalyptus and coconut for a cool, creamy effect, while Do Son keeps it leafy and peppery.
What is the best tuberose perfume?
There is no single answer, because tuberose changes with what surrounds it. Joyeuse Tubéreuse suits a green, creamy taste, Soleil Blanc a sunny one with coconut, Twilly d'Hermès a bright, citrusy one, and L'Interdit Eau de Parfum a rich, sweet evening one.
Is tuberose the same as jasmine?
No, they are two separate white flowers. Tuberose comes from a plant native to Mexico, and its name refers to its swollen roots, not to roses. Many perfumes pair the two: Gucci Bloom and Twilly d'Hermès both hold tuberose and jasmine.
Are there tuberose perfumes for men?
Yes. 1 Million Parfum by Rabanne and Bvlgari Man In Black carry tuberose in the heart, and both are presented for men. Carnal Flower, Joyeuse Tubéreuse, Tubéreuse Astrale and Do Son are unisex, so they suit any wearer.
Can I try a tuberose perfume in a small size?
Yes. A 3ml decant gives around 60 sprays, and Twilly d'Hermès is 9,90 € in that size. A 10ml decant gives around 200 sprays and costs 29,97 €, enough to wear it for weeks.
