Tuberose

Tuberose is one of the most powerful and intoxicating flowers in all of nature and in perfumery. A single tuberose bloom can fill a room; in fragrance its presence is intense, creamy, slightly narcotic, and deeply floral with facets of rubber, banana, coconut cream, and white chocolate that emerge when analyzed closely. It is a note that demands attention.

Tuberose absolute is one of the most expensive natural materials in perfumery, extracted from Polianthes tuberosa flowers through solvent extraction. Its character is simultaneously sweet and indolic, innocent and seductive, simple and extraordinarily complex. The greatest tuberose fragrances, from Fracas to Carnal Flower, are considered masterworks of the perfumer's art.

Tuberose pairs magnificently with white floral, jasmine, gardenia, and musky notes. If the heady intensity of tuberose appeals to you, explore white-floral, floral, and musky accord families.
