Exactly - this one is perfect, somewhere between sweet and softly smoky, neither bubblegum nor mothball, although you can tell that the tuberose could easily go there if it wanted to ;-) the first tuberose scent that I like (and by the way, it's not too loud either).
One of the few sweet scents that I wear from time to time. Very soft tuberose. I also liked the plum. Luckily, I don't feel lascivious with it. But it's beautifully enveloping.

A really exciting tuberose scent, and I want to echo some of the previous commenters: just when you’re unsure if it’s going to be pleasant, the fragrance captivates you. It opens sweet and fruity while avoiding the common bubblegum note, feels mature, isn’t too loud, and has a cheeky wink. As it develops, the scent becomes subtly smoky-think cabaret, fishnets, cigarette, gently leathery underneath-the tuberose remains but doesn’t have that “mothball effect” I’ve sometimes encountered. And while I think I couldn't wear tuberose, my nose is glued to my arm. Impressive and beautifully composed-I really like it.
(I don’t find the scent “typically” animalic or indolic, but it’s definitely very alluring, playing with the fragrance notes.)
