Tropical tuberose white flower orgy
This is not for sissies. D
It starts right off with a full blast of gum tuberose. Slightly green and muggy, I associate greenhouse or rain forest. Honeysuckle and coconut don't stand a chance at first.
With time it gets more jasmine-heavy (already the somewhat Indolian one), with a white-flower mixture and in my nose more tangerine than orange, and a few other floral notes come through. I definitely smell orange blossom and carnation/salicylate, maybe also a little bit of Ylang-Ylang. The tuberose, however, holds out until the end, now a little more subdued.
A light note of Hipp baby cream is also present, diffuse creaminess with a little bit of almond. Towards the end the coconut comes out better again.
Unfortunately, unfortunately... ...I end up with a musk that I don't even like. No pure bright clean musk, there is something else there (this could be Exaltolide, I haven't smelled it pure yet).
The Ambroxan is used very sparingly, I do not even consciously perceive it. But this could be the reason for the light synthetic note in the base. Luckily it is very close, you can only smell it if you hold your nose directly to it after a few hours
All in all, the fragrance for the name "Jasmine" is not jasmine-heavy enough for me.
But I don't think it's bad, it's just an intense tuberose scent without the exuberant plastic vanilla that many tuberose scents unfortunately have. It's got vanilla in it, but it's rather subtle.
I had expected something else, but this was definitely a successful blind purchase - I found *the* tuberose scent for me that I never looked for.
If you like Loulou and other oldschool flower crackers and have nothing against tuberose, you will find it here. At the same time, the fragrance never seems old-fashioned or fallen out of time. I would just rename it "tuberose" ;)
The Sillage plays almost in the Poison League. It may not have the durability, but it can easily last an evening. On the clothes even until the next day.
The bottle is not as beautiful and as the Tesori's made of aluminium. But it has no lid and a screw thread, I would recommend to seal it with teflon tape if you plan to transport it. Mine leaked a little in the package, and it wasn't the atomizer, which was secured by a piece of plastic.
The bottle kindly lists a lot of fragrances, not just those on the EU allergy list
