Simple diva
As soon as tuberose is mentioned as a note, you can expect some comparisons with Fracas Eau de Parfum . For good reasons, I think. For me, Fracas was the gateway to the tuberose domain. In a sense Carolina and Fracas are similar. Well, if you can look beyond the differences in the note breakdown. In both perfumes the tuberose is displayed as a full-on diva, commanding attention with her passionate, somewhat irrational behavior.
More recently, I tried "Carnal Flower | Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle" by Dominique Ropion. He did an impressive job of taming the infamous white flower. Although that fragrance is beautiful in pretty much every way, I felt it didn't capture the essence of the tuberose. A diva does not want to be constrained.
Mazzolari's approach is different. No fruity notes even they are listed, no greens, no honey, no orris butter. The characteristic flower in its pure and singular form is put on a pedestal here. The result is an all linear scent without a heady opening or complicated plot.
Carolina may be a slow starter, once unleashed she is nothing but temperament. A bold white floral with a flamboyant personality. Stylish, emotional and impossible to stay unnoticed. Not necessarily loud, just a confident presence at all times. A must-try for whoever enjoys an ultra-feminine white floral.
