Flashy – :
My honest opinion is that Tubéreuse De Madras smells generic, and unexpectedly to me, detergent-smell perfume. I personally do not get any Tuberose or anything else distinctly. That was my conclusion from the second try of a sample.
P.S: my mother’s opinion is totally opposite of mine (about detecting the tuberose element).

Nice..clean, soapy, not clobbering you over the head with white florals. I see similarities here as this maybe not being anything too unique, but if I did not already have a boatload of white floral and clean and soapy frag’s, I might just get a full bottle of this, as there seems to be something a little different here, a little bit of a sunny, relaxing vibe…nice. And the sandalwood kind of grounds this a little bit, keeping it from being too screechy (at least not to my nose). I do like this, but while it is ‘a little slightly different’ from most clean soapy white florals that I own, I just can’t see buying a full bottle…but maybe. I don’t know, there just seems to be a slight edge here that I kinda dig. Might go on the holiday wish list. 😉

This is a beautiful white floral & slightly soapy feminine scent based on the tuberose. Suitable for spring and summer, day and night. It’s not a new smell for me though. I’ve smelled it a million times before in feminine scents.
I get mainly a dominant combo of tuberose, ylang, strong frangipani, mild orange blossom, delicate ( it doesn’t feel dominant but supportive to the other notes) but noticeable vanilla note, creamy sandalwood and faint violet leaf with a semi-watery vibe. I don’t get passion fruit.
Performance is above the average but the sillage & projection are moderate. At the middle stage when frangipani is at its highest I get vibes from Comptoir Sud Pacifique Aloha Tiare Eau de Parfum but they are NOT similar scents. That Comptoir is a masterpiece compared to this mediocre Boucheron.
Boucheron Tubereuse is a pleasant scent with common smell but it should retail half the price. It costs here 272 usd per 125 ml.

Tubéreuse de Madras takes us to the city of Madras, now known as Chennai, which is the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu in the extreme south of India.
Within the Boucheron La Collection it represents the importance of the city that offered to its explorers an abundant culture as well as sacred aspects, which were represented by the tuberose, fundamental flower for all Indian beliefs. The stone hunters were charmed by the beauty of the city, where tuberose was first cultivated, and its yellow heart evoked the purity of the rare Canary Diamond.
The fragrance of Tubéreuse de Madras was created by Christophe Raynaud and is composed through the union of delicate petals of orange blossoms, violet leaves and passion fruit, at the top of the olfactory pyramid, making way for notes of ylang-ylang, frangipani and tuberose infusion, in the heart, towards the base of tuberose absolute, vanilla and sandalwood.
On the skin, Tubéreuse de Madras is surprising since the beginning. If that were not enough the floral and accentuated aspect of the tuberose, with its numerous milky, creamy and indolic nuances, besides the heady aroma that reminds us of a citric jasmine, we still have a juicy passion fruit in the opening of the fragrance. Love at first sight (or sniff)!
Then, the heart reveals a bouquet of yellowish buds, combining the carnal facet of the tuberose with the aphrodisiac side of the ylang-ylang and the fruity side of the frangipani. Thinking of the Diamond as a concept, the perfumer was very clever when replacing jasmine with frangipani, avoiding a white floral as a result. Finally, the tuberose gains a reinforcement at the base, when its absolute is mixed with the vanilla – which provides a little more depth to the fragrance – and with sandalwood, which encapsulates everything in a comfortable way.
According to the company, the olfactory competitions would be Carnal Flower (Frédéric Malle) and Beyond Love (By Kilian).
Tubéreuse de Madras has quality, good projection and lasts for more than eight hours on the skin. It is unisex, but its beauty gains strength in the feminine skin. It is a daytime and joyful perfume that, in my opinion, owes much of its success to passion fruit, which combined with tuberose exceptionally. Without a doubt, one of the best fragrances of the collection.

It’s so beautiful and it’s really delicious, milky tuberose. Within three days I discovered two great tuberose perfumes, I haven’t smelled so far – Fragile EDT by JPG and this one by Boucheron. I enjoy it even now, when it’s 35 C outside. Frangipani and passionfruit gives the summer feeling. All tuberose lovers should try this high quality scent.
Update: After 24 hours I really can smell the violet leaf, it’s a must try perfume.

Tubéreuse de Madras on my skin is mainly a milky tuberose. This once carnal flower is now devoid of camphor, butter, indole or anything animalic in Tubéreuse de Madras. It’s so skimmed of fat that it kind of reminds me of soy milk at first, which is a surprising twist during the opening.
However, slowly but surely, the creamy sweetness of vanilla permeates every corner of the dry down. Tubéreuse de Madras eventually becomes a generic creamy musky vanilla tuberose until the end.
The fragrance mostly stays close to the skin during its 9-hour longevity.
Although the soy milk opening phase is quite interesting and the fragrance itself is mostly agreeable, the vanilla white floral dry down feels rather routine and commercial, and eventually falls flat compared to the many great tuberose perfumes before it. Considering its hight price and limited availability, I’m not sure it’s special enough to worth the particular effort to track it down.
