Tuberose Fatale

What is it with dashing flowers and heightened libidos? Tuberose is no exception to this recurring theme. Monikers like the ‘Night Queen’, ‘The Carnal Flower’, ‘Mistress of the Night’ or less flatteringly ‘The Harlot of Perfumery’ all give you an idea of what people think of when they hear tuberose.

No surprise, then, to find out that almost all major perfumers have let tuberose take center stage in some of their most exclusive fragrances because it embodies the essence of what perfumery for many of them is all about: sensuality. It’s why generations of celebrities have made tuberose-centered perfumes their signature scent. How many of them used real tuberose is a different story…

Despite its name, tuberose has no resemblance to rose. It’s actually related to the lily, and its equally rich, concentrated aroma makes this a sought-after standalone perfume, especially in humid countries, where its tenacity goes a long way. For a succulent scent that lasts, look no further.

But this is by no means a tuberose soliflore…

Tuberose Fatale’s composition is made up of ~65% oud that lets this carnal flower dip its petals in the likes of Royal Imphal, Guallam Xtreme, and Borneo 3000 to give it an overtly sensual appeal with an incense aura that oozes elegance.

The ouds were selected because of how their profiles interact and enhance the creamy sensual scent of tuberose. From the pollen-creamy floral facet of aged, wild Manipuri agalocchas to the zesty bite of Vietnamese sinensis to that legendary pollen-raspberry signature of the finest Malinaus.

So, this is far more than a mere oud-tuberose perfume – it’s an artisanally tailored oud ensemble composed in such a way that you’d smell what makes tuberose one of perfumery’s most sought-after aromatics – enhanced with THE most sought-after aromatic. And the fusion is downright delectable.

The tenacity makes it a perfumer’s dream, and as for the scent itself… it’s impossible for me to imagine anybody not instantly falling in love with this Mistress of the Night.
