"Mistress of the Night"--indeed.
Perhaps you've been wondering: how does DSH Perfumes TUBEREUSE differ from Miller Harris NOIX DE TUBEREUSE? Allow me to answer the question.
The DSH soliflore is a potent little number with a slightly animalic quality to it. I have no idea what accounts for the dark side of this composition. Glancing over the notes, I surmise that some mystery ingredients have been omitted: Beeswax, Heliotrope, Mimosa, Sandalwood, Tuberose, Cedarwood, Lemon
A cursory glance at this list one might lead one to conclude that DSH TUBEREUSE is very similar to the Miller Harris entry in the tuberose soliflore category. They both claim mimosa among their notes. Where one contains violet, the other contains heliotrope, Where one contains resin and tonka and amber, the other contains beeswax. In fact they are nothing alike--aside, of course, from the prominent tuberose note. DSH TUBEREUSE lies much closer to Versace BLONDE or Histoires de Parfums TUBEREUSE 3--the animalic one.
Basically, if you want to smell nice and polite (or if you dislike tuberose!) then obviously you'll want to stay very far away from DSH TUBEREUSE--which may be quite easy to do, since this appears to be a limited edition. Despite the eau de parfum designation, my 1 ounce bottle clearly contains a liquid of parfum strength, so I'm covered for this lifetime.
This version of "tuberose as intoxicant" is less gooey than Versace BLONDE. The tuberose note has a real clarity to it, but it is nonetheless shrouded in darkness. Perhaps the wood in this composition has been charred? Don't know, but this is a winner.
Just to make clear and to document my capacity to make quality distinctions among tuberose perfumes: I do not love every single tuberose perfume on the planet. Honoré des Prés VAMP A NY, for example, is not to my liking, and I'm also not that keen on either Frédéric Malle CARNAL FLOWER or By Kilian BEYOND LOVE.
