Opens with an explosion of citrus. Becomes a citrus-neroli scent. Comparisons to Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford are justified.
However, they are not identical. The Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford has the lavender, angelica, and rosemary herbal punch that Tubereuse 40 is lacking. NP smells fresher and beachier. Tubereuse smells more floral and more like froot loops. NP also smells cleaner and soapier, while Tubereuse 40 is more of a citrus-floral.
Got a compliment today at work on this one. 😀 She said it smelled clean.

Like so many from Le Labo, this one’s name is misleading. There isn’t much tubereuse in Tubereuse 40. It is much more an eau de cologne than a white floral, but they are there.
The opening starts off with a big blast of citrus off my skin before settling into a fresh, clean, super unisex and wearable fragrance. The tuberuese shows up around an hour in, but again, it’s in the background and gives the scent some density.
I’m a huge fan of this style of fragrances and I’m so glad I picked it up when I was in NYC in April. But, is it worth the money of a city exclusive? I think so, but there are a lot of other eau de cologne fragrances out there. Other than cost, my biggest beef with this fragrance is longevity, but I think that might be a problem with the style, and not just this fragrance.
I love it and I’m glad I have it. That’s pretty much all I need to know.

Partner is trying this one tonight as part of the City Exclusives Discovery Set I purchased as a gift for him. I caught a whiff, then a deep sniff – Tom Ford Neroli Portofino! He agreed. It has a slightly sweeter profile than TFNP, but it’s quite close. Oddly, we tried it on paper and only got the tuberose elements and underlying sandalwood. All in all, this is one of the scents we have enjoyed from the 11 sample pack, but probably not adding this to the list to consider for full bottles.

Le Labo Tubereuse 40 New York is another nice city exclusive that’s good but not great, especially when considering its exorbitant cost relative to the standard line of Le Labo fragrances, even.
By name, it would seem that it’d be primarily a white floral, but I get as much citrus as I do floral out of it. Looking at the note breakdown to corroborate, bergamot, tangerine, and orange flower create the citrusy-yet-floral vibe in concert with the tuberose itself, and the musk seems to be an addition as it often is in these Le Labo freshies.
It leans slightly feminine but not prohibitively so for a man to wear and enjoy, especially in warm weather. Performance is average.
A nice one but something I wouldn’t give a second thought to for the price.

If I were to sniff this blind, I’d call it a citrus/neroli cologne. The other supporting notes maybe round it out a touch but I have a hard time justifying this price for a citrus scent, including Bergamotte-for that I’d go for the much less expensive Hermes Jardin series or the Atelier citruses, etc, etc. If you’re looking for a heady white floral from Le Labo, Lys 41 is a better bet and in the standard lineup . Full disclosure, I personally think this brand is way over-hyped, especially after having smelled hundreds of scents across te mainstream-niche spectrum. Though I own and love Iris 39 and would consider Ylang 49 and admire Patchouly.

BACKGROUND: I just got the 2015 sample set of the exclusives from LuckyScent and will wear one a day with a review for each – from a male perspective.
Today I’m wearing Tubereuse 40 on a Sunday afternoon.
SCENT: What a burst of joy this is up top – jasmine and clean white florals hit straight up quickly joined (and improved further) by sweet tendrils of citrus – neroli and tangerine. But what’s this? Something familiar is unravelling – well hello again, Neroli 36.
OFFICE READY? I am going to say yes – this might at first seem a little sweet and light for the serious business of the office, but if I smelt this on a colleague, especially another male, I’d quietly applaud him for wearing what I think is quite clearly a quality floral. A scent for a ballsy forward thinker, who doesn’t spray cheap.
NIGHT OUT READY? I’d go daytime with this – juicy fresh and full of spring optimism, I think a nightclub or date night would feel incongruous, like Shirly Temple doing her two-step at a rave. Not that it’s prissy. It’s just that this is sunshine in a bottle and smelling this in a club will make your friends think of tomorrow’s closed-curtains comedown.
BETTER THAN THE REGULARS? I love Neroli 36 and own a bottle of it for those happier mornings. The florals and sandalwood make this a little more special than the Neroli – although still very similar. Consider it a single step up.
WORTH THE $440 (AU $600)? No – it’s special, but not that special. For $440 you could get the 100ml of Neroli and 50ml of one of Le Labo’s white florals and DIY it.
WORTH $240? For the regular price I would buy it instead of topping up my supply of N36. So yes, it is.
HIGHLIGHTS: No skank, no seedy undercurrent – yet complex enough in its softness, its beautiful blending of jasmine and neroli, transitioning to a slightly more austere sandalwood. This- this is the first day of summer holidays.

Like others have stated, this really is more dominant neroli & citrus than anything else. The lightest touch of tuberose floats in gently and does take a bit to emerge, then it’s gone in a flash! A nice mixed floral, this is okay but if looking for a soliflore, there are other truer choices out there (namely CF, ELTG or SLTC).

Not much to say on thus one yet, because I just obtained an official 1.5ml sample for a cool $12 from my stellar contact Isaac in their NYC locale….. I don’t have anything in depth to share right now, but what I can say is that there are three frags at Le Labo that seem to be somewhat confused, mislabelled or misrepresented… Some of you may know what I’m getting at already……?!?! If not, lemme spell it out: Get your nose on Neroli 36, Fleur D’Oranger 27 & Tubereuse 40….
For some strange reason, the main ingredients which the scents are supposed to be named for are actually more prominent in the other fragrance?!?! Confusing?!?! Tubereuse 40 could/should be more aptly titled: “NEROLI 36…………, etc”! In addition, although called “Neroli 36”, the fragrance actually carries a good concentration of an ingredient called “Calone”- it’s very very interesting and I recommend you look it up please….. It gives the scent a rather fresh, seashore vibe the radiates from it’s Marine & Ozonic Nuances…… Very clever on their part though, because the struggle to put our hand EXACTLY on what the nose is smelling is quite an intriguing journey- and IMO, ENTIRELY meant to be that way (*_*)

This is a very nice neroli. Delicate, elegant. Tubereuse comes later but very faint

I LOVE this stuff! It is definetely more of the traditional citrus cologne accord, but I like it more for being “citrus” anyway. Tubereuse is good in this as it kind of “hidden” away but the quality of the top bergamot/orange blossom is SUPERB. VERY well done. and this does amazing interesting things in different weathers. sometimes the orange comes through most. then other times the tubereuse is more prevalent. and then when I get a really good spray it does backflips and twists and turns with the “herbaceous/grassy(?)” grassy feel like moss or a garden. Very engaging and keeps u on your toes. Plus puts u in a great mood.

No, tuberose 40 has nothing to do with Carnal Flower. I got orange blossom for 15 minutes, than some orange apple woods suchs as Apom for men but no feminine scent at all. After 2h comes a faint musc lasting for an hour. It is for sure a non linear perfume but without the creamy witchy effect of carnal flower nor its phenomenal lasting power.
Caseexhipse – :
This is really beautiful and is a dead ringer for Frederic Malle’s Carnal Flower. The opening notes are perhaps a little greener than Carnal Flower, but the perfume mellows into a similar sexy mixture of punchy tuberose, sandalwood and other floral notes.

Although the pros commonly complain that this is not a tuberose, I can smell the tuberose just fine and I like it. It’s a milder version of Fracas and doesn’t last as long as Fracas does.
To be perfectly honest, I bought it because it was my first time to NYC and I wanted a souvenir. This particular Le Labo fragrance is exclusive to NYC, so I’ve been told.
