Tuberose, I repeat: Tuberose
Bond no 9 I LOVE NEW YORK EARTH DAY, to my surprise, is a big tuberose perfume. I think that someone in the marketing department must have mixed up the EARTH DAY and the MOTHERS, because this tuberose would have gone perfectly in the pink and that citrus floral would have been great in this green bottle. The problem is that many mothers prefer very floral, feminine perfumes, which EARTH DAY is, and some guys may have purchased EARTH DAY and been surprised to discover that it's a friend of FRACAS, while they might have been happier with the resinous citrus mixed with lighter florals in MOTHERS.
In any case, EARTH DAY smells very nice to me, because and only because: I Love Tuberose (not NY)! (-; As I find generally to be the case with Bond no 9, the longevity and sillage are excellent. The tuberose is greenish, but not in the sense of vegetal, as in Frédéric Malle CARNAL FLOWER, which I wore again recently and decided that I don't really like. The tuberose in EARTH DAY is unabashedly feminine: big, billowy, and intense, but a bit less diva-ish than Robert Piguet FRACAS. I like this a lot, but it is really and truly a composition for tuberose lovers only!
