Helpful Review
But HELLO! No "Rose from the Tube" ;-)) but a floral spice bazaar!
What a fantastic scent that I dug out from the back corner of the cool fragrance cabinet. And--- such a barbarism--- I hadn't thought of it at all!
I was "searching" for another fragrance and "found" this one.
Sniffing at the spray head yielded nothing! It had been too long since I last used it. No trace of scent left.
Spraying it brought to light in the middle of the night that I now MUST write an "essay on 'Rose Tubéreuse'!"
A wonderfully spicy opening, first orangey-citrusy-fresh, then carried by clove, leads directly into the (unsweet) floral universe where everything that has rank and name frolics. A deep rose aroma envelops the bright jasmine scents and the very "sun-kissed" geranium. It comes off almost a bit "minty." Delicate veils of ylang-ylang and tuberose accompany the still spicy-clove base mood. With a hint of cardamom added. And probably also slightly "greener" coriander.
No hint of heavy, cloying, and pretentious sweetness! Everything is wonderfully spicy, while delicate powder dusts like a summer breeze. This very pleasant mélange of citrus fruits, flowers, and fine spices runs like a red thread through the entire scent progression. An "end" is not in sight. Even in the warm, somewhat darker base with "earthy," woody, and "balsamic" ingredients, the scent practically bursts with finely woven spiciness!
It is remarkable that the perfume resembles or is even similar to nothing else I have smelled so far. And THAT is an art in itself in today's perfume world, as "Rose Tubéreuse" is said to be from 2017. Now, I would like to make one last somewhat sarcastic remark that could be taken as praise: Could there perhaps have been a "typo" here and it should say "1917"?
It would be conceivable ;-))

Yes, looking at the pyramid, you could hardly think it's a fragrance from 2017.
