A Magnificent Tuberose!
I really didn't expect the scent from H&M to be so rich and magnificent.
Tuberose in its finest form! Clearly recognizable from start to finish!
The fragrance begins with a green, fleshy tuberose. It is a beauty, with just a hint of indolic (a tiny trace of the smell of decaying plants :)) The scent reminds me of some good tuberose fragrances I have smelled before, like Fleurdenia (Francesca dell'Oro) or Nuit de Bakelite (Naomi Goodsir)...
Now a distinct neroli and bitter orange note (bitter, aromatic zest) comes into play. The fragrance gains depth and more radiance! Plus: The indolic note recedes, and the scent becomes much more wearable.
The tiare and vanilla join the delicate interplay. The white floral scent now feels both refreshing-green (thanks to neroli and tuberose) and simultaneously tropical-sweet (thanks to vanilla and tiare)
To me, the fragrance does not come across as synthetic. Throughout its development, it is impressively diverse, and if I didn't know its origin, I could easily guess it was a fragrance from a much higher price range.
The longevity and sillage are outstanding, and the price-performance ratio is simply top-notch!
Conclusion: With Raconteuse, Oliver Pescheux has created a fantastic interpretation of the classic tuberose theme, and that in a low price segment. Simply top!
