Adam Michael has this to say “Called ‘Mistress of the Night’ and believed to be so seductive and arousing that in Victorian times young girls were forbidden to inhale its heady fragrance as it would make them lose their innocence. Tuberose is an outstandingly beautiful flower with a very complex scent that becomes very potent at nightfall.
Its creamy lactonic, elegant white flower notes are entwined with greener and fresher character chiefly due to the presence of salicylates in its aroma profile. Very feminine and very contradictory in my personal opinion, so sumptuously rich and lascivious on the one hand and yet somewhat cold, medicinal and aloof on the other. Obtained from no less than 30 recharges of night time picked flowers, this extrait captures the waft of tuberoses on a dewy late summer’s night and is of a much softer and less overwhelming nature compared to the absolute.
Enhances powderiness facets within materials such as tonka bean absolute and iris. Surprises with minute additions of absynthe, pairs beautifully with orange blossom absolute, dances with vanillas, coconut and massoia, imparting tropical breeze qualities. And this material is essential for those trying to reconstruct the head space of tuberose.”

True to the real flower in ways that no absolute ever could be, this is an ethereal and delicate delight that makes your heart miss a beat after you take a whiff even straight out of the bottle. I smell white light, colorful stain glass, magical garden, kaleidoscope of notes.

One of the most fine odr I have ever smell !
subtle, white flowers, spices, no heaviness

Tuberose heaven – you have to try it.

This tuberose is soft, light, round and delicate. For me, it brings to mind the petals of a tuberose flower.

The first thing which occurred to me when I smelt this was Savlon! It’s the ubiquitous white antiseptic and healing cream, which does have a specific and pleasant fragrance which is probably comforting from childhood memories of having it put on grazes and cuts.
Underneath the Savlon is a complex mixture of powderiness, sweetness and a strong suggestion of orris. I have a sample of tuberose absolute (from another supplier) and this extract, whilst fully recognisable as tuberose, is dryer, lighter and slightly more austere – gives a sense of Japanese temple incense.

This is one of the best things i have ever smelt, very beautiful, its incredibly delicate yet so intense like the real flower.
James (verified owner) –
Possesses surprisingly longevity and vigour from an enfleurage. A little added to the absolute version makes for an incredible combo.
KimRiccelli (verified owner) –
Gorgeous. To me it smells like a wonderful combination of the flower fresh on the stalk, and the more humid and indolic scent that develops after it has been in a vase for a couple days. I only wish it was available in larger than 1ml sizes, but I imagine that this is very labor-intensive to produce and am just grateful to have it in my collection.

This has become my reference material for Tuberose, because it precisely resembles the living flower (which we have in our garden, but which only blooms around December here in Cal). I cannot find any indolic or overtly powdery notes other than what nature provides. It’s a true aristocrat vs. the often rather vulgar absolutes coming out of India (with indole and lactones galore). The only problem is the dilution: you will need quite a lot for a tuberose soliflore, which quickly becomes prohibitive cost-wise. I use it for shading in fresh-floral themes and to add “class” .
