Tuberose

[cinderfallen]

I really love tuberose but it's in so few of the blends here! Are there any "secret" tuberose blends that you can share? For example, I just found by trying Sacred Whore of Babylon that it's really gardenia, tuberose, and spice on me--and I always say yes to more tuberose! Such a lovely, waxy, cool, bulging-sweet AWESOME note.

I love the tuberose scent in the current Yule "In Winter in my Room". It comes with a grapefruit top note and some other florals, but the tuberose is definitely there. Maybe try a decant of that (plenty of spots in the Decant Circles thread).

Haha, that's already a bottle! =) I absolutely loved it at Will Call.

 

So pretty, isn't it?

Dreamland. It's a past LE, but was revisited for a DD Trunk Show a year or so ago and shouldn't be terribly hard to find if you put up a round of ISOs.

 

I can't recall if tuberose is listed in the description for Dreamland, but to me, that's nearly all I get from the blend, and I LOVE it! Very soft, waxy, and classic tuberose. It smells exactly like Illuminations' Tuberose candle that they sold each spring.

 

[cinderfallen]

Oh man, Dreamland sounds PERFECT! I'm definitly putting out an ISO.... I hope I can find a bottle!

[HamletsKeeper]

Might also try Priviledge, which has tuberose in it although I have no idea how prominent it is in that blend.

Tuberrose with osmanthus, honey, and white musk, PLEEEEEZZZE!

I've been wearing Noche Buena a lot recently. It's got a lot of different floral notes mingling, but the tuberose note stands out as one of the stronger elements, at least on my skin. I'm not usually a "floral FLORAL FLORAL!" kind of girl but for some reason this combination is really fun and compelling:

 

The light, uplifting incense of the Misa de Noche Buena, purple sage, and a vibrant bouquet of plumeria, chrysanthemum, tuberose, Angel's Trumpet, Mexican tiger lily, dahlia, and azucenas.

[cinderfallen]

Oooh, Noche Buena sounds good. It's funny because I don't even remember that blend--my eyes just glance right over. Looking at it now is like, whoa! Sounds interesting!

 

Privilege wasn't really a tuberose blend. It was really light and my chemistry did funky things with it, sigh.

 

And the tuberose, osmanthus, honey musk sounds very much like it would be a Salon blend if it ever came out... I can only hope.

Glad I found this topic! Tuberose is one of my favorite flowers EVAH. I adore Dreamland.

 

You might also try Khajuraho, from past Lupercalia scents; it's discontinued but pretty easy to find. It packs a punch, though, I warn you - it's amber, honey, date, champaca flower, tuberose and rose. I happen to LOVE and HOARD Khajuraho, but it's a bit much for many people.

 

GC scents with tuberose: Delight - frangipani, rose, tuberose and jasmine; La Belle au Bois Dormant; Muse (love this one!), Sed non Satiata, Nocturne (I love this one - it's violet and tuberose), Carnaval Diabolique and Marguerite from CD; and Pepper from Good Omens.

There's also the recent Luper Plovers Above the Waves, it's: Rice flower, white cream, tea roses, abalone accord, white moss, beeswax, tuberose, and red currant.

Extremely yummy!

I always thought Follow Me Boy had tuberose. Maybe that's just me, though. I'd still recommend to give it a try if tuberose is a note you love.

[LiberAmoris]

I love tuberose! Reviving this topic in case there are any other tuberose lovers out there. My fave blends with tuberose include: The Sorceress, Vain Sorceress, Plovers Above the Waves, Alma Venus, Lullaby, and Ava. I'm really looking forward to The Head from this year's Lupercalia release!

[annemathematics]

I was never a fan of tuberose in absolute form (maybe i've not smelled really good ones) but I do love it in perfume blends, esp when the lab uses it.

 

I love ava, and also butterflies flowers and jewels attending.

also looking forward to sniffing the head.

[ImpImpImp]

I'm really looking forward to The Head from this year's Lupercalia release!

I am too, can't wait!

 

I learned recently that there was once (2006?) a Tuberose SN. Would have /died./

[lady_pandora]

Try Lullaby, and Fairy Thorn if you can get it.

Oh yes, Fairy Thorn! I love that one also.

I never tried that one, but I wish I had!

I have to second Miss Spink. I also love The Other Miss Spink.

[roseus]

I just tried Nocturne and the tuberose was fairly prominent for me!

[sprout]

I second the recommended Ava and Butterflies Flowers and Jewels Attending and add two of my favorite oils: Stardust and Radiance of the Opium Dream

[DiZZysTARdust]

Posting to revive this thread cause i love tuberose, too! Consoling Pussy of Horseface mountain is gorgeous murky blue green (in my head) tuberose. Mori girl is actually very close to it but slightly sweeter imo.

[lady_pandora]

Swans on the River is definitely worth a try too. I'm still not sure I've accurately teased out which note is tuberose, but it's such a pretty blend.

[annemathematics]

gonna give much love to A DUSTY MOTH

[cinderfallen]

So many new blends to track down and try!
