I love her, I don't love her, I love her, but only briefly
When I first applied Un Air de Damas Tubereuse by Dorin, I was quite taken with it. A fresh, melony scent, little bergamot, somewhat waxy with a honey note opens the fragrance experience. Undoubtedly a fine scent.
Then it became milky-green-floral, and I realized that I apparently like tuberose. Until now, I hardly knew which part of a fragrance was the tuberose. I did not mention woods and musk in my notes for Dorin Tuberose. I set the little spray aside as a candidate for comments.
I tested it again, and once more I did not come to a final assessment.
First, I looked up in Wiki what tuberose actually is: a type of agave, a bulb plant, a type of asparagus.
I conclude: It is not a type of jasmine like the beloved and hated gardenia, nor a tiaré.
No, this perfume does not smell like that either; it has a very unique scent. This scent is not intrusive, strong, more of an overall plant scent than a floral scent and has a long-lasting presence.
So this is how tuberose smells. I like it, very much so, as I have found out every time. And then after a while, the scent changes.
I do not perceive musk or woods, but a scent that I identify as - I don't want to express it too harshly - a bit like an old dishcloth that has been used for a long time and not replaced and/or washed.
I have often noticed this smell in fragrances after a while. Unfortunately, it keeps appearing in scents that initially presented themselves to me as beautiful and desirable.
But I thought each time that maybe I had over-moisturized my wrists or that the soap scent still clung to my skin inappropriately.
Unfortunately, I always get heartburn after a while when this somewhat musty smell becomes noticeable.
Now I have tested Dorin Tubereuse for the 4th time.
I like bergamot, woods, and musk; I know them, but I only perceive the bergamot at the beginning. Woods and musk do not rise up.
Unfortunately, it can only be the tuberose that changes so unpleasantly for me.
And I initially like it, then it becomes somehow disgusting, only to become more green-milky and slightly sweet again when the scent fades.
But now I don't want to set aside the pleasant fragrance experience from the beginning; the musty smell somehow remains, even if it diminishes.
What a pity. I have washed off the scent each time. I will do that again now. And in the future, I will pay attention to whether the tuberose has such a scent development, or if there are also fragrances with tuberose that do not develop this way on me.
Addendum this morning, June 29, 2013, 10:00 AM:
I enter the room where the PC is, my work and guest room, where I tested "Un Air Damas Tubereuse by Dorin" last night. A light hint of the scent still hangs in the air, milky-green and slightly floral, beautiful, unique! Just as I have always perceived it as the opening of Dorin Tubereuse.
Do I love her after all, the tuberose? Today another tuberose scent is due for testing. I want to know if it is a matter of the mixture, the raw materials used, the perfumer, or if the tuberose alone develops into something disgusting for me. However, I will not test this scent on my skin again.

"It smells like a chemistry lab" - my husband's exact words as he walked into the room.

I just tested it and find it delightful, but now I'm eagerly waiting for the old dishcloth. I don't really like that one either. Let's wait and see...

Even if you don't like it: I think it's great that you're giving this brand some attention. It's been pretty overlooked here so far.

I get you - Tuberose almost always makes me feel nauseous too.
