Soy milk and generic vanilla tuberose...
Tubéreuse de Madras on my skin is mainly a milky tuberose. This once carnal flower is now devoid of camphor, butter, indole or anything animalic in Tubéreuse de Madras. It's so skimmed of fat that it kind of reminds me of soy milk at first, which is a surprising twist during the opening.
However, slowly but surely, the creamy sweetness of vanilla permeates every corner of the dry down. Tubéreuse de Madras eventually becomes a generic creamy musky vanilla tuberose until the end.
The fragrance mostly stays close to the skin during its 9-hour longevity.
Although the soy milk opening phase is quite interesting and the fragrance itself is mostly agreeable, the vanilla white floral dry down feels rather routine and commercial, and eventually falls flat compared to the many great tuberose perfumes before it. Considering its hight price and limited availability, I'm not sure it's special enough to worth the particular effort to track it down.
