1:45 – I sprayed this without checking anything about it in order to cover up another perfume. My first thought was tuberose and toothpaste. The “tang” of the tuberose was quickly softened by a super creamy orange blossom.
Thirty minutes later, it’s an unusually unisex but somehow still pretty white floral. I’m impressed. Vetiver and bergamot are my feminine Achilles Heel. Can’t wear them without smelling like the manliest man that ever did man. This has *just* enough to keep the florals from getting too assertive in my sinuses.
I’m going to try this again tomorrow, after a shower, so it’s not competing with an amber/leather blech.
edit: I’ve worn this sample a lot. I’m going back and forth on if I want a full bottle. It is a very well done perfume, and balances between white and green in a way I haven’t encountered before. The price is right and it has good longevity. There are just too many stand-outs that are in the queue. This doesn’t stand out, it is polite. Lovely, and I highly recommend it, but it doesn’t get me excited and huffing my skin to smell more deeply.
If I worked in an office where I was in close proximity to anyone else, this would be an easy choice, but I can get away with wearing whatever crazy nonsense I want.
edit2: right after I wrote that last bit, I got an unusually exuberant compliment on “whatever it is that you’re wearing today” from a coworker when we went to lunch, so yay. Also, now at midnight, I’m reminded of how great the dry down is on clothes. My shirt smells amazing.
edit3: the first person to see me this morning stopped mid-sentence to tell me how great I smelled. This is getting a little ridiculous.
The extended longevity and large sillage of Tubereuse Absolue would normally make something a “beast” but this is a mild mannered, chilled out beast.

Heady, bitter, green tuberose, there is no sweetness in it, no friendly attitude at all. Classy and austere, it could work as a cold n.19 for serious tuberose lovers. Stellar longevity. Beautiful but kind of intimidating.

I think I don’t agree, my first impression was really good, the closest smell I know to the actual tuberose. I like Carnal Flower better, but this one is so nice.

Sorry to say this is just another nice & conventional tuberose (like many that came out this year)…at least it’s a hundred dollars cheaper than all these other ones that’s marketed as “luxury.”
