Tuberose and Vanilla - Is This Supposed to Work?

I have mixed feelings about this rather un-mysterious tuberose.
It is not very animalic here and somehow comes off almost powdery, leaving more of a buttery tuberose whisper. Mixed with vanilla.
The vanilla note overpowers the tuberose.
At least that's how my nose perceives it.
I definitely miss a green trace here.
Something wild, something that suggests a tension.
The fruity note has slipped past me.
It is most akin to a "cuddle scent".
The tuberose seems almost snuggly. A concept that finds favor.
Testing the perfume has brought me joy, but I am still not entirely convinced, as the vanilla is very prominent here.
For winter, this scent is certainly a good choice, one that keeps the wearer on the safe side.
My sense of discovery is limited, as the notes do not coalesce into a mood that stimulates me. It is a perfume that initially feels heavy, but then it wraps you in a rather soothing way, appearing pleasant and bright, charming.

I just tested the scent and can still smell it on my wrist. It definitely needs a green note to balance out the buttery heaviness and slight animalic quality.

From the way you describe it, the scent seems very ambiguous. Too complicated for me!
