La Tulipe Byredo 2010 Eau de Parfum

I was able to test this interesting fragrance extensively in a group of fragrance enthusiasts. The opinions were very mixed. However, we all agreed that the top note took some getting used to. Although not listed, we smelled plant sap, green, sweetish, perhaps even slightly putrid and unpleasant. A bouquet of tulips that has been standing in water for a while and whose stems are now being trimmed. The water urgently needs to be changed.

After a few minutes, the scent of the tulip flowers gradually unfolds and overlays the strange smell of plant sap. Freesia and woody notes round off the whole thing. After a few hours, I only smell the tulip, very authentic and very close.

Not a purchase option for me. The fragrance reminds me a lot of a flower store, I could almost imagine it as a room fragrance.
