Tuberose Flower Absolute

Perfume uses

• In 1948, the House of Piquet launched "Fracas," a glamorous and sensual classic with a tuberose heart note, which gave rise to a whole subfamily of fragrances: tuberose florals, whose sensuality dominates and captivates.

• Narcotic and provocative, its invasive, heady, obsessive, powerful and captivating scent is one of the keys to the success of famous perfumes, the most scandalous of which remains Poison, created in 1985 by Dior.

• Frequently found in perfume compositions:

  • Floral feminine fragrances: used sparingly and elegantly, tuberose wisely adds powdery notes.

  • Chypre fragrances for women: where tuberose adds a touch of insolence and provocation.

  • Oriental women's fragrances: tuberose harmonizes oriental notes in an unexpected and casual way.

A few ideas

• Elegant, sparkling with citrus top notes (lemon, bergamot...), combine a floral and oriental heart with neroli and/or petitgrain and reveal all the sensuality and voluptuousness of your fragrance with amber base notes.

• You can also create a soliflore like Annick Goudal's tuberose, pairing it with vanilla or benzoin in the base notes, for example.
