Certainly seductive.
So its beyond time for me to put up a review for this.
This tuberose isn't what I would call ordinary, especially not in the beginning.
This is for the parfum version which tends to sit much closer to the skin.
Upon application there's a smell of oil and gasoline. No, I'm not joking, its really there. You have to give it about 5-10 minutes though, because that was probably one of the bigger surprises of this perfume.
While there is a surface lightness, there is also a suprising darkness to this scent, at least for me. yes if you just pay attention to the top only, you do get tuberose, and some small amount of citrus, and a bit of candied fruit, but underneath that, there's something dark there. I smell a bit of mushroomy rooty, and inbetween that, the most seductive jasmine ever. I like it though because this isn't all sunshine and candy type scent. Though the application of the scent can jolt you, its not a discordant scent at all. It all works togther very well.
Lasting power is great for me, but being its a parfum I expect good lasting power (literally all day into evening), but sillage....sillage is what I feel can be a gotcha. When I first tried this, I thought it would be really a big scent, and its not at all. This seems to be a close wearing scent,and very smooth and restrained and elegant....but with a wild side.
I find that on occasion I get this very elusive scent coming from me from time to time. While its not a huge scent it IS something that will be noticeable to those close to you.
