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.

Usein kysytyt kysymykset
- 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?

- Are there tuberose perfumes for men?
