Whoa…this is GREEN! I’m talking stalks, stems, everything. It’s also a little more rubbery than any other tuberose I’ve tried, and too rubbery for me. I get a slight amount of coconut, but no rose.
I love Molinard so I had high hopes this would finally be my tuberose holy grail but I’ll keep looking.

I blind bought this as I do love Tuberose and am not afraid of it in a heavy dose (I have Versace Blonde). It is nothing like Blonde – it’s much less skank if that makes sense.It is a beautiful, classy and fabulously potent tuberose with a big dose of green. Woods are there but I get no coconut. This is definitely about the tuberose and green notes. Its sillage and longevity are excellent. It’s daytime rather than evening for me. It’s doing well in the heat and it will be interesting to see how it performs in colder weather. I’m glad I bought it (based on reviews here of course). Personally I have not smelled anything else I can compare it to. If Blonde is sexual, this is sensual.

I blind bought this sucka and can someone say “holy frank and beans Batman”!!! lol This is the Tuberose I’ve been searching for. Strong, creamy, feminine, no spice. It is just perfect. def reads as a soliflore which is perfectly what I wanted. If you are a tuberose lover like me, blind buy it, I dare you 🙂

Extremely nice scent for warmer times. Reminds me of Montale Tiare Intense, with a very possitive BUT: Molinard made it much more milkier and greener less sweet therefore made me fell in love with. Longevity amd silage are above average.

I have several Molinard perfumes: Habanita, Ambre Lumiere, Chypre Charnel, Nirmala and La Rive Nirmala. I’ve tested several others and – so far – my experience with Molinard perfumes has been positive. So, naturally, I didn’t test Tubereuse Vertigineuse (translation: Breakneck Tuberose. No, I don’t “get it” either) before swapping with Cinnakitty for a part-used bottle.
It arrived this afternoon, and I unwrapped it with some trepidation, noting that I could smell it before opening the box!
I sprayed once to the back of my right hand and resolved to let it dry down properly before even sniffing; this was impossible though, as Molinard’s Tubéreuse Vertigineuse insists on being heard. You simply can’t avoid it. This has huge sillage from the outset and – had I sprayed in my usual wild manner, I probably would have asphyxiated the entire household. I instantly loved it, and my love grew the longer I wore it.
On my skin, tuberose is punchy and in your face from the outset; it is gorgeous, rich and classy. Coconut is there too, but it’s not a sweetened, dessert coconut and adds a creamy texture to the scent.
On drydown, the woods start to come into play, but I have to sniff with my nose close to my skin to pick them up, sandalwood being dominant.
TV is sweet, but it seems natural, coming from the flowers rather than being artificially added. I honestly cannot smell any flowers, other than tuberose (rose being consistently MIA from the outset) and would suggest that peach (rather than peach blossom) is present.
Sillage is dependent on the amount you spray, but is heavy and could easily tip into enormous if you are trigger happy.
Longevity is very good, even on my dry perfume-gobbling skin; I suspect TV will last for days on clothing.
Definitely not a safe blind buy unless you are a real tuberose fan. It is not office friendly either, unless you are prepared to go very easy on the trigger, as TV could easily be too much, particularly for colleagues who are sensitive to smells.
To summarise: A seemingly underrated perfume, definitely one to try if you love tuberose.

To put it simply: Wow!
I sampled this earlier today and, quite frankly, I think the coconut/tuberose combo is too much for my nose. The projection power is also too strong for my taste and I think it’s safe to assume that it would be headache inducing within the first two or three hours, if I spray it anywhere near my head.
So, having decided that I should remove it from my wishlist, I come home to find that my wrist is now giving off a mild smell of tuberose and resins. Just as I concluded that I am unimpressed and that I don’t want it, it changes into one of the most interesting things I’ve smelled lately. Well played, Molinard. I will be sniffing this regularly!
Bayoon – :
I like the tuberose note but I can easily find it too much. This really works for me as it’s lightly diffused by the creamy coconut and sandalwood. These three notes are perfectly balanced. It is not very sweet and I don’t get suntan lotion either. The peach blossom is quite evident and lifts everything but the orange blossom has probably been overwhelmed. The resins are relatively low key and the musk adds almost a creaminess.
Further along the timeline and the coconut nearly vanishes.
For the rest of the timeline it’s a tuberose, wood and musk scent. Very grown up and sophisticated.
It has good sillage and above average longevity. Another classy winner from Molinard. I think I will wear this at summer bbqs etc.
Svetlana – :
On my skin the woodsy notes shine strong. Beautiful Ceder and Sandalwood with a soft creamy Tubereuse around it. In background I can also detect Coconut and Musk. Very longlasting + 12 hours and with a very nice sillage.
På min hud skiner tränoterna starkast. Underbar Ceder och Sandelträ med en krämig mjuk Tuberose. Jag känner även en mjuk lätt kokos och musknot. Otroligt hållbar – mer än 12 timmar och med en härlig utstrålning.

I made a mistake and blind ordered 2 bottles instead of one, and guess what ? I’m glad this happened ! Indeed, here we have a wonderful tuberose as can be expected from a great house like Molinard. BTW they replaced the mesh spray atomizer by a normal sprayer which is simply screwed, a much better solution, and I’ll see if refill is available in the Grasse museum-boutique or the Nice or Paris boutiques.
Here we have a superb creamy tuberose, underlined by the woody notes, a bit softer than DR’s Carnal Flowers, stronger than La Vie est Belle EDP Intense, purer than Diptyques Do Son EDP or EDT. Actually Molinard’s tuberose is quite close to the reference frag “Fracas” from Robert Piguet, but doesn’t reach the heavenly level of Fracas, as like Ropion, Molinard couldn’t refrain from adding some coconut, fortunately very discrete but still there at least during the opening, while Piguet’s opening is greener and therefore in better control of the tuberose.
This is just a minor detail, so if you look for an affordable but truly outstanding tuberose (I’d rank it #2 or 3 of all my tuberose frags), the Molinard version is perfect.
Longevity is 10-12 hours, and the scent remains on my clothes for several days, like Carnal Flowers
fortran – :
Very pretty fragrance. It smells of fresh coconut at first. So beautiful! It is tropical, but not in a nauseating way if you fear cloying coconut notes and buttery tuberose. So if you’re looking for a buttery and sensual tuberose such as in Fracas, it may not be for you… This one is a slightly creamy, a bit green but not screechy. Though peach blossom is listed in the top notes, I can smell it the dry down…To me it is more elegant and classy than “vertigineuse”. But it’s a compliment getter…
A winner for me!
Smell: 8/10
Longevity: 7/10
Sillage: 7/10

I would love to try it! Tuberose is one of my favorite notes . Any idea where to get in UK? Thanks

This is beautiful! I’ll keep it short, if you like a tropical, sultry tuberose that’s not too OTT, this stuff is for you. As always with Molinard, the quality is outstanding and it lasts for a good 7-8 hours. Sillage is pretty big – you will be smelled. I think it’s probably best for autumn nights but honestly, it’s actually not too overbearing for cooler nights in the summer too. Lovely, elegant tuberose scent. Thumbs up!
