A lot of people find tuberose to be blatantly sensual and bold, but for me - a distinctly un-diva-like person - it’s just evocative of beautiful, natural flowers in a heavenly garden on a summer evening. Love ‘em! (Also, I’m new to your channel and am enjoying your thoughtful, articulate descriptions on different fragrances.)
I so agree with your comment!! I find carnal flower’s association with seduction confusing as to me it’s a living flower stem and all. I’d love to know where the association came from or if it’s a response many people naturally have without an outside influence?
@@hayleilei9604 I agree with you. I like Carnal Flower because it seems naturalistic to me. I found it to be quite easy to wear. A seductive perfume is something else in my opinion.
I own a adore Nuit de Bakelit. Incredibly evocative scent. Always places me in an old Victorian glasshouse. I can almost feel the soil on tiles, vapour hanging in the air and tendrils that are a little too close for comfort. Speaking of tendrils, this is potent stuff and one spray in my house will easily work its way from room to room. Probably the most diffusive perfume I own.
Ah, we have the same taste! I love everything on this list, except for Daphne since I haven't smelled that one. I love Nuit de Bakelite. It's so peculiar and enticing, but I don't think it suits me. I was surprised by Gucci's Bloom too. I remember smelling at the first time and I was like: wow, this is an entry level tuberose? at this price? and it actually smells like flowers? I prefer the original one in the pink bottle and the more solar, yellow floral centric one in the yellow bottle.
To the man who said poison is for the middle aged!? Non! Poison is still unique smelling. Not everyone wants to smell like their laundry or clean. Perfumes are like art or fashion soon the clean thing will be done…and the strong ones like poison, will be back in “fashion”
❤ tuberose - smelled Fracas for the first time in Australia recently. Knew I would be impressed , but for me Carnal Flower will always be my favourite!
Though I hate to admit this… ha Alien Fusion is a really niiiice tuberose! And I’m fussy!! But I should have gatekeeped that one! It’s the only Mugler I own as usually alien is Jasmine..but fusion was tuberose cinnamon ginger orange blossom and vanilla yum
Tuberose used to me my favorite fragrance note. I still like and own quite a few in that genre, however, I don’t wear them as often as I used to. Thanks for reminding me.
I adore Tuberose ! Some of my favourite ones are : Anne Klein, Carolina Herrera pour Femme, Michael Kors, Histories de Parfum Tuberose 1 2 3. Santa Maria Novella Tuberose, Fracas, Amorosa Mastenbroek, to name a few.
I first fell in love with Jo Malone back in the day when she had her little shop in Knightsbridge. It was discontinued so I switched to Fracas and Petit fracas, I don’t wear them as often as I used to but they are appropriate for the days when it’s slightly muggy and warm.
You said you couldn’t imagine a tuberose cologne. Have you tried Roger et Gallet Tubereuse hedonie by Anne Flippo? I love it on hot sticky days because it never become cloying. Like a good cologne it makes you feel fresh and then disappears
Thanks for this entertaining video! Up until a few years ago, I didn't like tuberose perfumes. Now I have a few favorites. I generally like my tuberoses to be quite naturalistic smelling and preferably green and fresh. Among my favorites: FM Carnal Flower, L'artisan Parfumeur Nuit de Tubéreuse, Tubéreuse Absolue Perris Monte Carlo, Violet Compliment. Guerlain's Joyeuse Tubéreuse is a nice innocent fresh flower shop tuberose. I can't stand Fracas. It is really too much for me. Tubéreuse Criminelle is interesting but I can't wear it. It is being discontinued!
On advice from fellow enthusiasts, I bought a partially full mini Poison Esprit a couple years ago and it is heavenly. I'm one that usually can't handle tuberose forward perfumes but this one is 100% for me. I remember sneaking sniffs from my grandma's bottle when I was little.
Hey there 🙂! My favourites are: Love Tuberose (Amouage), Honour (Amouage), J'adore Infinissime (Dior), L'Interdit (Givenchy) and La Fenice (The Merchant of Venice).
I sprayed my fave tuberose-la nuit de tuberose- in order to watch your video. Then, I learned it is discontinued…what? I love it, esp in heat and humidity. I have never bought a “back up bottle” for any of my perfumes, but now will consider. Thanks for all your videos😁
Hello 😊 Ever since I can remember in my 20’s( now 62) Lou Lou, Poison, Opium and Red Door were a nightmare 😢, I get an immediate reaction with sharp burning in my nose where the smell trickles down my throat, watery eyes followed by a full blown migraine. I’ve been searching most of my life as to what this was and after sampling ‘Perris’ Tuberose’ last month; I recoiled so quickly , I realised it was Tuberose. Same reaction with Carnal Flower🤷🏻♀️ I find it so interesting how our Olfactory system affects our physical response I adore Shalimar yet oddly cannot have the original on my skin, I can only wear it on my clothes as 20 minutes on skin …. severe migraine, my only take is that it’s gone into my bloodstream causing the reaction as the scent is bliss for my nose I’m here to learn and enjoying your content and the chats You are so informed and wonder if you’ve heard others experience similar with other scents Big Mwah 🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺❤️Stani
Hi, I'm so sorry, I don't think I can help. I'd be surprised if it has anything to do with the scent getting into your blood. We do all have very particular, personal reactions to certain smells.
@@Persolaise oh my gosh, no sorry needed. 🙏🏻 Not that it would change the situation, I just love learning and it never hurts to ask. Have a beautiful day and thank you 🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺❤️
After all the perfums that I tried and have I enjoy and love so much Poison and Fracas💯 I only buy the vintage they deserve every coin. I will love to know your opinion on kiss my name from Ramon Monegal they say is a wonderful tuberose. Love your reviews 👑
One of my favourite notes. Carnal flower is one of my absolute favourite perfumes of all time. Tuberose is in the building. Amazing list. Few of these are on my list to get/sample. Loved this top 10 😊
I have a vintage Fracas that is TOO tuberose for me, but the new Fracas sounds intriguing. I have worn Private Collection since it was released. It is a big favorite. ♥️ I’ve not found the Tuberose PC though.
Great Top 10 as always, Dariush. Would love to see a Top 10 Dama de Noche / Lady of the Night / Night-blooming Jasmine. P.S. Côte d'Azur is imminent; your beautiful shirt spilled the beans 🤣
My first tuberose was the original Michael kors before I discovered carnal flower . I did however own and over wear Poison back in the day before this but I didn’t register it as a tuberose back then . I also had the Madonna one too . I much prefer Carnation scents personally.
So glad the Lutens tuberose got some well deserved love Mr P but equally amazed (it ghasted my flab to be fair) that no Hiram Green MoonBloom appeared! When she is the Diva who grew up and began to wear pearls in the moonlight. Surely this soaringly sublime all natural tuberose deserved a fleeting mention? Well there I have…mentioned it.
Thank you for the top 10! Maai from Bogue is another interesting tuberose and maybe Night Flower from Eris, with the latter not that tuberose-centric though
I just got my 10 ml decant of Poison Esprit de Parfum, gosh, it's absolutely gorgeous 😍 My husband got a sniff and said it smells like an old lady in an old theatre (well, he actually used the term stara baba, so not as nice as my English translation) and I wholeheartedly agreed, but for me it's a compliment and for him, well not so much 😂
Thank you for sharing this wonderful list + intel as always. Enjoying listening to this as I have my Sunday morning coffee. I love so many of these perfumes. Adore Lutens but Tubéreuse Criminelle was too challenging for me-need to try again. If you haven’t yet, I hope you will try “Nightgown” by Solstice Scents-sumptuous, bordering on gourmand tuberose. Eyes-roll-to-the-back-of-the-head, toes-curl tuberose.
Ohh Mr. P, how did I miss your tuberose episode??. My list would start with Memo Marfa, Kilian’s Good Girl Gone Bad, Givenchy L’Interdit, Armani Rouge Malahite and My Way, Amouage Honor and Love Tuberose, RL Woman, Byredo Casablanca Lily, Chanel Gabrielle, YSL Supreme Bouquet and probably also Terenzi’s “opulent”Atlantide. I could add few more but let’s leave it for next episode 😅
A wonderful episode, just pressed like, two tuberose perfumes were ruined for me, Giorgio and Poison because they were so pervasive in NYC in the mid-eighties when I lived there. Also not a fan of tuberose with gardenia, I like my gardenias with jasmine. I do admire Carnal flower because it avoids the graveyard aspect of tuberose which bothers me so much.
@@Persolaise the note description is intoxicating in and of itself: "In Aztec Mexico, flowers were an august offering to Gods and Princes. Transporting you to a temple altar where heaps of flowers exude their intoxicating scent, FLOR Y CANTO is a white floral fragrance with a subtle copal incense base. Focusing on the highest quality natural essences and absolutes of five native Mexican flowers: Mexican tuberose, magnolia grandiflora, plumeria, marigold and wild acacia."
Still mourning Kilian discontinuing Beyond Love: Prohibited 💔 It’s such a soft, warm, comfortable, natural tuberose. I have a tiny travel set left that I’m hoarding.
Fracas is lovely but always gives me a headache unfortunately 😢. Louboutin’s Loubimar was an unexpected like for me. It is linear but it certainly gets complimented 💕
Glad to see you include Gucci Bloom. I am enjoying the Netttare de Fiori flanker (w ginger, ?similar to Twilly?).(I also have the Acqua di Fiori flanker, but it's more honeysuckle and galbanum.). I really like Ralph Lauren Woman. I would like to try Fracas and Daphne.
I have feel both attracted and repelled by tuberose. It is a scent that defies social boundaries yet maintains a female association, a combination that makes people uncomfortable. My favorite on your list is vintage Poison extrait de parfum because that is such a Gothic ambery take on tuberose. I love to sniff Fracas, Carnal Flower, and Tuberose Criminal, but if I try to wear them it somehow doesn't suit me. I am absolutely intrigued with Night Blossom from Via del Profumo as tuberose taken to its full predatory, scandalous potential. Thank you for another wonderful list and conversation. I never knew Gabrielle was a tuberose...I suppose making tuberose boring is quite a feat.
for me Tubereus Criminell smells like new car tires in the beginning. I love it. I want to wear it much more often than I dare to :-) i am so happy I was able to buy it 2 years ago!
Re themes - none Diva, pulling up weeds in the garden, digging up veg in the allotment plot, pottering in the greenhouse, walking in the woods, along the coast or relaxing in a coffee shop or cosy country pub. (The last one based on the fact that I love Noir Exquis and Tea for Two, less keen on gourmands that smell like a biscuit or an ice lolly 🙊)
Hello from India! I just love tuberose as a note, it's creamy, dreamy and very reminiscent of my childhood where tuberose sticks would be brought into the house to put in vases etc. Loved your video on this and excited to explore your channel further. I have a suggestion for you: if and when you come to India next, there's a store called Forest Essentials, which does a sugar soap called "Bengal Tuberose", and personally, it's the closest fragrance to those natural, radiant tuberose sticks that I've ever smelt (so far), and I am from Bengal. The ultimate uplifting soap for me. Hope you too like it!
@@Persolaise glad to know!! I really hope you do find the soap there. They have a room spray in that fragrance as well, although I've not tried it yet.
I have such a love for Jo malone tuberose angelica. I had the body crème on holiday and I fell hard! It’s the only Jo malone I love. Thanks for this top 10, love your videos Mr P
@@Persolaise For ages I wanted to ask you why don't you post any reviews on Villoresi perfumes? I just didn't know where would be the best to ask :) And I know there are some other houses you don't review so maybe this could be a topic for one of your lives? Thanks for all your work, I. am following you for 10+ years. Greetings from the Netherlands!
What do you think of Nicolai's Number One? I seem to have a complicated relationship with it, I loved it at first, but then I wore it and found it too nauseating. But now, after a long break, I sprayed a little on my wrist and love it again. I find it intoxicating, a I was not born in the 80s but this is how I imagine perfumes smelled back then.
Has anyone tried Ralph Lauren Woman? It’s an accessible tuberose and I’d love to hear others’ thoughts. I enjoy it and it’s an easy wear, though don’t find it especially unique or complex.
The only tuberose fragrance I have is Miller Harris Noix de Tubéreuse. Reminds me of holidays. Occasionally pull it out on days off in late Summer but then think it’ll be too much if it’s hot 🙄. At this rate it’ll last for years 😂 I’ve got a sample of Do Son on order
I struggle with the tuberose note (well with floral notes in general). I favor the powdery floral notes (heliotrope, Osmantus, Iris). What is a good tuberose entrance level fragrance?
@@deannstanglenny9431 Wow that is intense! You must suffer around tuberose fragrances compared tome. I only have headaches if it is a very strong fragrance.
how could giorgio beverly hills not be part of this group. it is as iconic as dior poison, and it happens to be coming from the same 80's era as poison, 4 years before poison came out. to be exact.
Here’s where I make a joke about it being “criminelle” … but it would be! I had heard it was from other reviewers, but now I’m wondering (and hoping) it’s just moving bottles like SL seems want to do 😅🤞🤞🤞
@@Persolaise LOL, I guessed that much. I just wanted your opinion on those. :) I have never tries any of the scents since I do not get along with tuberose. (so far) The above mentioned are very hyped on YT and I like to understand the preferences of the creators I follow (I am new to your channel). Thank you for replying to my comment. Big hug
@@anadanaya Hi again, Sorry, I think in my rush to reply, I didn't express myself very clearly. When I said there were different reasons, I genuinely just meant there were different reasons, with no subtext implied. If I've been commissioned to carry out some work for a brand, then I don't review or comment on their scents for an extended period of time (this is mentioned in my blurb on each video). At the moment, this applies to Amouage, which is why I don't include any of their perfumes on my lists. However, I reviewed Love Tuberose when it first came out. Here's a link: persolaise.com/2018/09/persolaise-love-at-first-scent-episode-6.html I reviewed Tubereuse Astrale not that long ago. I find it fascinating and well worth checking out; I just don't think it's one of the Top 10 best tuberoses. Here's a link to my review: persolaise.com/2024/04/hermes-paddock-crivelli-tubereuse-astrale-ffern-spring-2024-and-eau-ditalie-reviews-2024.html
@@Persolaise Thank you so much Mr P. You are the best!!! Watched both videos, and after watching them, understand your perspective on both. Love your channel! 💞
J’adore how you have given vintage Poison the homage and honors she deserves; anyone who doesn’t understand this salute surely has never smelled her intoxicating, twisted wrist. A SUBLIME composition that today’s world of fast fashion and stylish imposters (fragrance imposters & luxury dupes) cannot even comprehend. From a different time, and exotic other world~ 🌹🍃🏺

@@hayleilei9604 I wonder if in India it's more closely associated with spirituality, because garlands are so often handed out near temples.
@@hayleilei9604 I agree with you. I like Carnal Flower because it seems naturalistic to me. I found it to be quite easy to wear. A seductive perfume is something else in my opinion.
I never realized how much I loved tuberose until I smelled Carnal Flower. This is the perfect video for me! ❤
Excellent, I'm so pleased.
Tuberose is just sex in bottle tbh 🤷♀️ 🤭
Same here 🤍
I own a adore Nuit de Bakelit. Incredibly evocative scent. Always places me in an old Victorian glasshouse. I can almost feel the soil on tiles, vapour hanging in the air and tendrils that are a little too close for comfort. Speaking of tendrils, this is potent stuff and one spray in my house will easily work its way from room to room. Probably the most diffusive perfume I own.
I really love it too. Thanks for watching.

Though I hate to admit this… ha Alien Fusion is a really niiiice tuberose! And I’m fussy!! But I should have gatekeeped that one! It’s the only Mugler I own as usually alien is Jasmine..but fusion was tuberose cinnamon ginger orange blossom and vanilla yum
Ahhh... I must check it out!
Tuberose used to me my favorite fragrance note. I still like and own quite a few in that genre, however, I don’t wear them as often as I used to. Thanks for reminding me.
Why do we stop wearing our favourites?
Thanks for watching.
I adore Tuberose ! Some of my favourite ones are : Anne Klein, Carolina Herrera pour Femme, Michael Kors, Histories de Parfum Tuberose 1 2 3. Santa Maria Novella Tuberose, Fracas, Amorosa Mastenbroek, to name a few.
A wonderful list, thank you.
I first fell in love with Jo Malone back in the day when she had her little shop in Knightsbridge. It was discontinued so I switched to Fracas and Petit fracas, I don’t wear them as often as I used to but they are appropriate for the days when it’s slightly muggy and warm.
I love the idea of hanging on to some scents just for a few days of each year. Thanks for watching.
Yay poison is still my signature..and tuberose is my favorite floral note! 💕 love your spin on this!
Poison is wonderful.
looking dapper as always mister p with that beautiful shirt!
Thank you very much.
You said you couldn’t imagine a tuberose cologne. Have you tried Roger et Gallet Tubereuse hedonie by Anne Flippo? I love it on hot sticky days because it never become cloying. Like a good cologne it makes you feel fresh and then disappears
Oooh, I’ll have to check it out. Thank you.
Thanks for this entertaining video! Up until a few years ago, I didn't like tuberose perfumes. Now I have a few favorites. I generally like my tuberoses to be quite naturalistic smelling and preferably green and fresh. Among my favorites: FM Carnal Flower, L'artisan Parfumeur Nuit de Tubéreuse, Tubéreuse Absolue Perris Monte Carlo, Violet Compliment. Guerlain's Joyeuse Tubéreuse is a nice innocent fresh flower shop tuberose. I can't stand Fracas. It is really too much for me. Tubéreuse Criminelle is interesting but I can't wear it. It is being discontinued!
That's a huge shame about the Lutens!
Thanks for watching.
Fantastic episode 😀 Tuberose is for brave souls for sure. I love Carnal Flower , such a unique fragrance , impossible to confuse with anything else ❤
Very true.
Thanks for watching.
On advice from fellow enthusiasts, I bought a partially full mini Poison Esprit a couple years ago and it is heavenly. I'm one that usually can't handle tuberose forward perfumes but this one is 100% for me. I remember sneaking sniffs from my grandma's bottle when I was little.
I'm so happy to read this.

I adore Shalimar yet oddly cannot have the original on my skin, I can only wear it on my clothes as 20 minutes on skin …. severe migraine, my only take is that it’s gone into my bloodstream causing the reaction as the scent is bliss for my nose

I love tuberose too.

Narcissus please
I’ll do my best.
I have a vintage Fracas that is TOO tuberose for me, but the new Fracas sounds intriguing. I have worn Private Collection since it was released. It is a big favorite. ♥️ I’ve not found the Tuberose PC though.
The flanker is quite different from original Private Collection.
Thanks very much for watching.
I found that Tuberose helps me sleep. I use Do Son shower oil and Henry Rose Flora Carnivora spritzed on. Both are lovely Tuberose fragrances.
I guess its intoxicating quality can be quite soporific.
Great Top 10 as always, Dariush. Would love to see a Top 10 Dama de Noche / Lady of the Night / Night-blooming Jasmine.
P.S. Côte d'Azur is imminent; your beautiful shirt spilled the beans 🤣
Ha! No Cote D'Azur this year.
Tuberose astrale, French flower, Marfa and rouge malachite all my favourite tuberoses. Thankyou x
Great list, thank you.
My first tuberose was the original Michael kors before I discovered carnal flower . I did however own and over wear Poison back in the day before this but I didn’t register it as a tuberose back then . I also had the Madonna one too . I much prefer Carnation scents personally.
Carnation is a great note, but hard to achieve these days.
I still have the Tuberose scents from Andy Tauer, including the ones in the little flash bottles.
Yes, that was a good one too.

But that aside… I’m so, so glad you like the esprit. I think it’s stunning.

Poison is a must-try.

Ohh Mr. P, how did I miss your tuberose episode??. My list would start with Memo Marfa, Kilian’s Good Girl Gone Bad, Givenchy L’Interdit, Armani Rouge Malahite and My Way, Amouage Honor and Love Tuberose, RL Woman, Byredo Casablanca Lily, Chanel Gabrielle, YSL Supreme Bouquet and probably also Terenzi’s “opulent”Atlantide. I could add few more but let’s leave it for next episode 😅
That's quite a list, thank you!
My favorite two tuberose perfumes are Tubéreuse Criminelle - brilliant; and Caron Tubéreuse - simply beautiful. Nice video. 🙂
Thanks very much indeed for watching.

Thanks for watching.
Ah, dear old Giorgio.
The one I know and have grown to love is Arquiste's FLOR Y CANTO. I found tuberose too heady first time I realized what I was smelling.
I should try to find my sample of it.
@@Persolaise the note description is intoxicating in and of itself:
"In Aztec Mexico, flowers were an august offering to Gods and Princes.

I love tuberose! I'm excited so I'm commenting before seeing the list ❤
Wonderful!

I just love tuberose as a note, it's creamy, dreamy and very reminiscent of my childhood where tuberose sticks would be brought into the house to put in vases etc. Loved your video on this and excited to explore your channel further. I have a suggestion for you: if and when you come to India next, there's a store called Forest Essentials, which does a sugar soap called "Bengal Tuberose", and personally, it's the closest fragrance to those natural, radiant tuberose sticks that I've ever smelt (so far), and I am from Bengal. The ultimate uplifting soap for me. Hope you too like it!
Yet another reason to return to India.
Thanks for this!
Oh, I’ve just looked. I know the brand! They have a shop in London too!
@@Persolaise glad to know!! I really hope you do find the soap there. They have a room spray in that fragrance as well, although I've not tried it yet.
I have such a love for Jo malone tuberose angelica. I had the body crème on holiday and I fell hard! It’s the only Jo malone I love. Thanks for this top 10, love your videos Mr P
Thanks very much indeed.
My favourite tuberose is Bouquet Encore by L'Orchestre Parfum 💖
I shall have to seek it out.
My favorite is French Flower ❤
Good to know. Thanks for watching.
The original version of the edt of Passion d'Annick Goutal will, I think, always remains my favorite fragrance.
I’ve heard many good things about it.
I love tuberose! Love Twilly, Bloom, Fracas. I need Daphne and these new Fracas eau Fraiche in the cute pink bottle, in my life:)
I think you might love Daphne.
@@Persolaise I know, I've tried Daphne a while ago, and liked it so much!💛
I always manage to miss the Lives, even though I have the bell notification on.. can you tell what days you generally do lives on?
I'm so sorry about this.
I don't really have a set pattern, but a lot of them do seem to happen on Sundays at 1700 UK time.
@@Persolaise Wonderful thank you :)
I found that Alien treated tuberose extremely well and in a sense innovative for the time, but my personal favorite tuberose perfume is Versace Blonde
Wonderful -- thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise For ages I wanted to ask you why don't you post any reviews on Villoresi perfumes? I just didn't know where would be the best to ask :) And I know there are some other houses you don't review so maybe this could be a topic for one of your lives? Thanks for all your work, I. am following you for 10+ years. Greetings from the Netherlands!
@@KsenijaCelner Hi -- there's no particular reason. I just find it very difficult to get hold of Villoresi samples.
You look like Gavin Rossdale. ♥️🔥
I had to look him up.
Thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise lead singer of Bush. He’s British too. 👍
DIORELLA IS LIKE A BOTTLE OF BRUNELLO DI MONTAKCINO RED WINE
Now I need to seek out this wine.
How do you feel about Narcotic V?
I seem to remember finding it interesting.
What do you think of Nicolai's Number One? I seem to have a complicated relationship with it, I loved it at first, but then I wore it and found it too nauseating. But now, after a long break, I sprayed a little on my wrist and love it again. I find it intoxicating, a I was not born in the 80s but this is how I imagine perfumes smelled back then.
I’d have to revisit it. I don’t have a sample, I’m afraid.
Aqua Alegoria Florabloom forte it’s very very good tuberose in my opinion, the only tuberose I can wear
Good to know, thank you.
Has anyone tried Ralph Lauren Woman? It’s an accessible tuberose and I’d love to hear others’ thoughts. I enjoy it and it’s an easy wear, though don’t find it especially unique or complex.
Sorry, I don't think I've tried that one. Sounds interesting, though.
The only tuberose fragrance I have is Miller Harris Noix de Tubéreuse. Reminds me of holidays. Occasionally pull it out on days off in late Summer but then think it’ll be too much if it’s hot 🙄. At this rate it’ll last for years 😂 I’ve got a sample of Do Son on order
I hope you enjoy Do Son.
Thanks for watching.
My favourite Tuberose scents are Carnal Flower,Armani prive Rouge Malachite, Clive Christian Jump up and kiss me
Hiram Green Moon Bloom is one of the best
Yes, I like a lot of his work.
Lancôme Tubereuse Castane is gorgeous but sadly discontinued; tuberose and chestnuts.
Another discontinued one!
Frassai Victoria is also amazing. do you know it?
No, I’m afraid I don’t.
Next jasmine❤

Would love to get your thoughts on Guerlain Joyeuse Tubéreuse.
I'll have to dig out my sample.
I struggle with the tuberose note (well with floral notes in general). I favor the powdery floral notes (heliotrope, Osmantus, Iris).
What is a good tuberose entrance level fragrance?
Oh gosh, maybe the Gucci.
I fully understand. Your struggle is my punch in the nose to the point where tears appear with Tuberose. 😢🤷🏻♀️
@@deannstanglenny9431 Wow that is intense! You must suffer around tuberose fragrances compared tome. I only have headaches if it is a very strong fragrance.
how could giorgio beverly hills not be part of this group. it is as iconic as dior poison, and it happens to be coming from the same 80's era as poison, 4 years before poison came out. to be exact.
Yes, but I think it’s a shadow of its former self, sadly.
Do you have a recommendation for a more bubblegummy sweet tuberose? Currently on the search!
I’ll have to give it some thought.
Noix de tubereuse by miller harris
@@Persolaisestill holding out on a rec for this!
Curious if Tubereuse Criminelle is being outright discontinued, or just moving to reappear in the bell jar ...
Oh gosh, I hope it's not disappearing.
Here’s where I make a joke about it being “criminelle” … but it would be! I had heard it was from other reviewers, but now I’m wondering (and hoping) it’s just moving bottles like SL seems want to do 😅🤞🤞🤞
I wonder if there’s a means of challenging received wisdom on Lavender?
Ah, yes -- excellent idea.
Hi Mr P, I notice that "Love Tuberose" and "Tuberose astral" are not part of your line-up. Any particular reason?
Well, a few different reasons, I guess.
@@Persolaise LOL, I guessed that much. I just wanted your opinion on those. :)
I have never tries any of the scents since I do not get along with tuberose. (so far)
The above mentioned are very hyped on YT and I like to understand the preferences of the creators I follow (I am new to your channel). Thank you for replying to my comment. Big hug
@@anadanaya Hi again,
Sorry, I think in my rush to reply, I didn't express myself very clearly. When I said there were different reasons, I genuinely just meant there were different reasons, with no subtext implied.
If I've been commissioned to carry out some work for a brand, then I don't review or comment on their scents for an extended period of time (this is mentioned in my blurb on each video). At the moment, this applies to Amouage, which is why I don't include any of their perfumes on my lists. However, I reviewed Love Tuberose when it first came out. Here's a link: persolaise.com/2018/09/persolaise-love-at-first-scent-episode-6.html
I reviewed Tubereuse Astrale not that long ago. I find it fascinating and well worth checking out; I just don't think it's one of the Top 10 best tuberoses. Here's a link to my review: persolaise.com/2024/04/hermes-paddock-crivelli-tubereuse-astrale-ffern-spring-2024-and-eau-ditalie-reviews-2024.html
@@Persolaise Thank you so much Mr P. You are the best!!!
Watched both videos, and after watching them, understand your perspective on both. Love your channel!
💞
J’adore how you have given vintage Poison the homage and honors she deserves; anyone who doesn’t understand this salute surely has never smelled her intoxicating, twisted wrist. A SUBLIME composition that today’s world of fast fashion and stylish imposters (fragrance imposters & luxury dupes) cannot even comprehend. From a different time, and exotic other world~
🌹🍃🏺
I couldn't agree more. It is a world unto itself. Utterly gorgeous.
Love the shirt!! You didn’t get that beauty in Blighty!
Thank you.
