Reading reviews on here proves that perfumes are polarising and perfumes are subjective. This was a blind buy. TKMaxx 3x9ml for £20.00 was a no brainer….. OMG what a blind buy. This perfume is exquisite. So happy that I ignored the bad comments. I will definitely buy a full size bottle, I’m in love with this perfume, don’t be scared of a blind buy

Love Tuberose this is not the kind of Tuberose I like, it’s cold green powdery Tuberose. Not my cup of tea! Sold it.
enquisy – :
I blind bought this a) because it was on offer and b) because I am a huge fan of tuberose. Unfortunately it was more of a damp squib than a hidden gem. Initially there is an overwhelming powdery take on almonds and this never really disperses. As time progresses you do get a hint of white flowers if you sniff your wrist but unfortunately it’s just a generic white floral. I get no tuberose whatsoever and even in a subtle form tuberose is a flower that likes to announce itself. Longevity doesn’t seem particularly good and as time progresses you still just get the powdery almond note but at this stage it has turned into a skin scent . I am puzzled by so many good reviews so as I wore this on a summer’s day I will put it away until the colder weather to see if that makes a difference.

A fun and slightly nutty (pun intended) take on tuberose. Is no one else getting nuts? A bit of almond, macarons and marzipan? This is heading into yum-yum-ti-tum gourmand territory, I want to eat it rather than wear it.
Powder puff sugar on creamy heliotrope (not listed but I’m getting it, must be the mimosa) and sugared almonds ensconce a pillowy, substantial tuberose. Tonka stonker – yes, powdered violet – yes, honeyed clover, yes and dusty pollen laden mimosa making this a crazy, fun, nutty sweet composition that seems to be about a scrumptious edible tuberose.
Posh sweeties for grown up kids. Layers of dusty pink fluffy chiffon. A birthday party perfume.
For those looking for a Tuberose soliflore, this is not the place to go, better to come at this from liking playful, powdery, sweet and comfortable compositions.
Noix de Tuberose wafts and radiates beautifully in my personal space and keeps partying on my skin long past my bedtime.
A fitting image for this perfume is Hermione Granger in that fabulous pink floaty, frilly dress at the Yule ball, she is having a wonderful, head-spinner of a time but is a bit out of her depth and it all ends in tears. But it’s going to be ok because her friends are for real.
I know it’s classified as a floral oriental, but I smell this as a very good and interesting floral gourmand, contemporary, but with a classic feel to it.
Sillage is moderate/good and longevity great on my skin.
Edit: I wore this out on a really chilly January day and it showed itself to be less edible sweet and more floral – soft, rich, creamy tuberose powdered with almond-like heliotrope and mimosa – I really enjoyed it, very comforting, friendly and easy to wear.
Edit: I’m addicted – This has become my number 1 for a powder fix – just lovely in chilly weather, I think it will also be wonderful in the Spring – full bottle worthy.

I am so dissapointed in this!! I read reviews and was hoping to get a soft but potent tuberose. This is however, a 60+ ladies tuberose, the one you would expect worn by a mature woman in a Russian theatre. Definitely night wear. I do not see a young woman wearing this. So not Miller Harris signature…
Just very heavy syrapy dried tuberose. Longevity 4+ h. Moderare sillage.
DO NOT BLIND BUY THIS

LOVE THIS! It is more potent than the average MH and there is no harm in that. It is so rich and maybe a touch vintage. I cant say I think of old ladies when I wear this. This is the fragrance of a woman who knows what she is about and when she walks into a room full of people gets noticed for all the right reasons. Her confidence, her stylishness and uniqueness.
It is curious how I keep detecting coconut along with the rich buttery tuberose. I suspect its the combination of the tuberose, tonka and mimosa. Tonka has a definite soft edible sweetness. I am very sensitive to the normally strong tuberose note but this has not induced a migraine.
The resins give a warmth, the clover a delicate honeyed sweetness. The orris and violet cool and calm everything so it does not screech.
This is definitely a fragrance for night wear. Good longevity and moderate silage.
julyel – :
It was blind buy after reading about it… I was not happy.
But after half of year I changed my mind. Very good perfume. As maybe all from Miller Harris. I became big admire of this house.
Strong at first, but lovely after. Good staying power near the skin. At first spray looks very aromatic, but then becomes warm and soft floral. Very feminine and rich. I can’t separate notes – they are so well mixed together.
No synthetic notes. Perfect.
Fenikss – :
Sugar dusted powdery violets, bubble gum and clover honey.
i ve tested this and i don’t know whether it has been reformulated or what, but i get the total opposite to those main notes voted above = tuberose up top with violets in equal measure. drying down to to violet, orris, amber, clover combo.
She’s the daughter of l’air de rien skipping past flowering shrubs, on her way home from school.
someone mentioned Songes. i happen to be wearing Songes on my other arm.
NDT is a lilac coloured powder stuck to resinous clover honey, whereas Songes is a big golden nectar dripping from a honey bee’s bum, who is face down in a jasmine flower….
might i add, this is a rather beautiful perfume.
P.S. first few seconds marzipan!
LeksyDF – :
I appreciate Noix de Tubereuse; it’s a contemplative tuberose, complemented by soft, sweet, romantic notes. However, it’s not for me because of the stonking amount of tonka bean in it. I just know that wearing this would get on my nerves after about an hour. If you like tuberose, I would definitely try it.
fwo343Negeltzex – :
A strong, but good smelling floral scent with tonka bean and tuberose. A few hours ago, the violet was also there.
It’s powdery, warm and rich smelling.
Quite good scent by Miller Harris, most of their fragrances are too masculine, but this one is fine.
wadaSeksstege – :
Luca Turin describes this perfume as “bubblegum tuberose” and for me this definition is not appropriate at all.
Noix de Tubereuse on my skin develops into a beautiful powdery, melancholic tuberose.
We are far from the creamy beauty of Fracas, far from the opulence of Carnal Flower, far from the greenness of Maitre Gantier et Parfumeur Tubereuse.
I love Miller Harris’s style, she is a master in achieving feelings and sensations as if she had a paintbrush and a colourful palette of watercolours.
Watercolours on rice paper, not oil on canvas.
Her touch is light but not banal, her strokes are gentle, never harsh.
The tuberose here is accompanied by a lovely mimosa that does not want to steal the show but denies a role behind the scenes.
Same for the violet.
The two modest, shy flowers, accompany the queen on her path, never leaving her, never a step behind but side by side.
The result is stunning.
The tuberose is made less opulent in gaining softness, gentleness and the mimosa and the violet gain importance with such a royal companion.
I would suggest this scent to all who say that they cannot wear tuberose, for those who find Fracas either too strong or too sweet.
Noix de Tubereuse is not worse or better, it’s different and for me, just like Fracas, it’s
WONDERFUL
tyumin – :
At first, there is a blast of powdery – sweet violet and very noticeable mimosa. However, mimosa dyes pretty soon (which is fortunate, as on my skin it is always a bit soapy) and the heady tuberose starts to come through. There is a warmth underneath the tuberose, which must be the resins.
I truly like this scent! I always say that florals are not for me but this one, being a fully blown floral, is an exception. (even I am willing to admit that this is a floral scent) I love the progression on my skin. My chemistry just loves violet, and tuberose. As a scent this is much lighter and brighter than my usual go-to perfumes, but at the same time there is this comforting side to this potion that I really like.
The cold season is almost here and this tuberose-filled scent plays beautifully on my skin. The only minus is the longevity: after 2 or so hours this scent becomes a true skin scent and then just evaporates away… but it is a beautiful scent, as long as it lasts.
frololonglula1990 – :
so beautiful scent !!! pure clean tuberose
galaktikas – :
I had a bottle, and I don’t like it, it’s too syntetic to me.
LoveHardGame – :
I don’t usually say that a fragrance paints a picture, but on first spray and throughout, this evolves an image of a sultry 1940s femme fatale sitting in a dimly lit corner of a smoky bar – almost a Jessica Rabbit sort of thing! It is powdery and floral and the very best sort of classic vintage, with just enough sting to make it incredibly sexy. My partner goes nuts on this, my secret weapon! And as usual with Miller Harris, it has incredible staying power.
embagoDoomi – :
So gorgeous.. I was looking for you and now I found you. To me, tuberose and mimosa are prominent in a pleasant combination with the clover. Warm, feminine, enticing. The perfect autumn scent :).
Ericjediss – :
Nobody else feel it has fig in it? And very obvious fig . Stunningly beautiful! My absolute can’t do without!
effect09 – :
to me its very powdery and sweet, not much else. I use it lightly and it softens into a sweet powdery pleasant smell that I will save for colder weather. its by far not my favourite but I don’t dislike it either
MiticsGet – :
An initially heady tuberose, not very sweet, with an underpinning of violet. It becomes a little soapy-generic for me, I prefer Divine Divine or one of the dirtier tuberose scents such as Tubereuse 3. This one is faintly exotic – a very tiny bit of a coconut edge to it – and dries down to a skin scent not out of place on your beach holiday. I won’t buy a FB, as given a choice I’d wear other tuberose scents. Have to agree with Luca when he says “of no great interest” but it’s pleasant, inoffensive and office-friendly.
karatel947 – :
It’s soapy and powdery on my skin… maybe it’s the mimosa-tonka-violet combo? Anyway, I can see some similarities with Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt (minus the aldeydhes)! So I like it very much, even if I’m not a big tuberose fan!
levapovobre – :
A lovely Tubereuse-scent but I sneeze when I sprey on my skin. first thing I thougt of is – this reminds me very much of Madonna’s Truth or Dare – another very strong scent with Tubereuse and Gardenia.
En härlig Tubereuse-doft men jag nyser när jag sprejar på mig denna på huden. Det första som jag tänker på är – den påminner mycket om Madonna’s Truth or Dare – en annan stark parfym med mycket Tubereuse och Gardenia.

I’ve only worn this once so far so I’ll comment further later, but WOW is this indolic!! It’s juuuust this side of super-skanky to where I can still wear it. Also that does cool down a bit as it dries down (maybe 45 mins). I get quite a bit of vintage powdery amber in this as well, but as a background to the SUPER blast of heady indolic tuberose. I don’t seem to be smelling the same fragrance that others are reviewing here? Granted, I’m writing from memory so will come give it a better update but this much I’m sure of because it’d be difficult to forget. Powerful juice on me at least.
Challenging, intriguing, heady; will give it time to grow on me!
Cezart – :
The tuberose is not as overwhelming as I thought it would be which is a good thing. I get more of a Tonka/amber feel with a touch of tuberose. Totally unisex IMO. I am happy with my decant. It’s sorta like a Kilian scent with the projection being minimal but it lingers beyond 6 hours.
lebedevsg1 – :
Beautiful, sweet and bright (yellow) floral with an “almost gourmand” twist. Linear and straightforward. I cannot affirm animalic reference, but there’s a certain soapiness. The leading trio (tuberose- mimosa-tonka) makes it very feminine and quite unforgettable, but beware – the key thing here is not to overspray – otherwise it may become overwhelming and headache-inducing (killer sillage and lasting power).
keykeeper – :
A great variation on Songes. Where Songes is a bit more fresh and green, this is a bit more sweet and gourmand, but really just a bit. The ylang kind of covers all of that ground in both (even if ylang is not listed in the notes here). I wouldn’t need to own both at once, but a mini or a decant of Noix de Tubereuse would make a nice replacement for Songes when that gets used up.
Yablik – :
This is a lovely pink floral (yep pink not white) with lipstick scent drydown.
Merqh502elipseskism – :
I bought this on a whim at Heathrow last year. I was looking for a floral frag and the SA showed me this one and said it was top choice for many brides. The gullible, single me thought this was a good omen and the sale was made.
It didn’t take long for me to experience it and develop headaches and bad moods. The perfume was all wrong for me. Too mature, too strong. A perfect Granny perfume, in fact I gave it to my grandmother and she loved it.
A year passed and I completely forgot about it.. until my granny came to visit. I love my granny but I despise the perfume. She bathes in it and the smell has taken over my house. It is really awful.
I thought I loved tuberose, because I love Carnal Flower, but I discovered I hate this perfume and Fracas doesn’t work for me either. No offense, maybe it just doesn’t work on my family genes!
gmc120Unlogrere – :
Right after a bath I’m very picky about which perfume to put on because I know that I won’t be bathing for at least a day. I rarely try a completely unknown entity upon surfacing from the tub. No, mystery scents are best tested with an abundance of bubbles on the horizon!
I’ve been noticing that I gravitate more and more toward a cluster of truly dependable houses when post-bath perfuming time arrives, and Miller Harris is one of them. I know that I can count on whatever I wear from this house to smell natural and appealing rather than synthetic and scary. Tonight I have donned NOIX DE TUBEREUSE and reaffirmed my love both for this scent and for this house.
NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is a fresh and natural-smelling tuberose with a clarity I’ve found lacking in some other niche tuberose soliflores. Nothing here is vague or thick or artificial smelling. The tuberose is slightly green and not that sweet, perhaps because of the clover and the iris? The composition also boasts mimosa, in addition to amber and fig, but mostly this is a fresh bouquet of tuberose.
Nothing like FRACAS (which I also love, but for other reasons), NOIX DE TUBEREUSE might lie a bit closer to CARNAL FLOWER (of which I am not however very fond). I feel that I’m in the midst of a bunch of fresh-cut tuberose, with the stems still attached to the petals. I’ve seen fields of lavender. Are their fields of tuberose? NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is just that to me.
A perfect post-bath and pre-bedtime choice for tuberose lovers!
Komandos1 – :
My first grown up perfume purchase of the year & I like it! I was a bit unsure about it at first, due to a disconcerting powdery top note which reminded me of baby’s nappies. I momentarily thought I had made the wrong expensive choice! This disappeared very quickly & aged rather pleasantly on me. I’d describe it is pleasingly soft, pillowy & elegant 🙂
mgt498Bessinepome – :
This opens and goes on perfectly on me, it is a full/rich tuberose followed by sweet and green mimosa, which usually does not work on me, but here it plays a lovely role.
I do think that this is similar to Fracas, but let’s be honest – it doesn’t. In Fracas the tuberose is loud and majestic, here it is more creamy and tropical, more suitable for everyday wear.
I actually love this, it smells lovely on me, none of the Miller Harris perfumes I’ve tried before I’ve enjoyed, but this is very nice.
9/10

I seem to love tuberose scents and they seem to love me lol. This seems to last and last and last, very comforting, smells a bit fluffy and pink if you know what I mean but in a nice way lol
Slimmindordip – :
After Si Lolita this is the poorest thinnest perfume that I have ever had. It opens with a lemon soapy note that instantly fades into a wee faint whimper of de-natured tuberose. How can any tuberose be this pathetic? Unless my sample from Posh Peasant is somehow faulty, it’s a rip-off. Boo hiss!
zaraza1992 – :
Hello, all. I am looking for a new perfume. I think I may like Channel Gardenia (fav. flower), but I really do not want to purchase or use a product with musk. The beautiful musk deer are killed for just the two glands in their bodies that humans desire. Makes me sick. Anyway, can anyone suggest a scent for me? I wore for many years Tea Rose by Perfumer’s Workshop – but that seems a little sophomoric now. I loved the first scent that Kate Spade put out; I don’t know why she would ever stop that one! Anyone?
olyunya – :
this is the best tuberose frag i have smelled so far.I want it sooooo bad!!!
sergg1974 – :
Massively heady, which isn’t a bad thing for me, but good lord it takes a long time to develop into something I would actually be happy to wear.
The overwhelming top notes of Tuberose & mimosa are rendered just this side of sickly by the powdery violet. The general effect is that of opening a packet of Loveheart sweets – sherbety, fizzy and nose-tingling. This only continues to fizz on the skin and became almost unbearably cloying for me – I was at the stage of cursing myself for ever having sprayed it – but ever one to give perfumes a chance, I resisted the gnawing urge to reach for the scrubbing brush and present myself at the village pump, thus to cleanse myself of the noxious violet (I don’t do well with most violet perfumes, as you may have been able to discern!)
Perhaps another couple of hours passed in this manner, until, suddenly, I couldn’t smell the sweetness anymore. It was replaced by a rather nice musky creaminess with a slight nutty dryness that mixed well with the resin. Hang on a minute! I like this! Ah. Well. Not quite. This stage lasted approximately 10 minutes, then disappeared altogether. If the drydown alone could be bottled & the staying power of that increased, I’d buy it in the blink of an eye. As it stands, I didn’t want to buy it even though it was in the half-price sale bin. Not a keeper for me, I’m afraid.
I’d suggest that people who adore tuberose might like to try this after all – I am not a tuberose lover by any means, so it’s hardly a fair evaluation. I do like to think I can stand back and calmly assess fragrances I don’t happen to be keen on but which are obviously very well done of their kind, though. I just think there’s likely to be a better tuberose out there for you.
