Nuit de Tubéreuse L'Artisan Parfumeur 2010

The typical sweetness of a tuberose scent is, fortunately, absent here. Instead, my nose is greeted by several powerful spices, foremost among them clove and cardamom. The slight sharpness of artemisia is clearly detectable, along with two types of pepper: the fresh-spicy black and the milder pink.
The presence of flowers is only subtly sensed at the edges of the depth of the perfume. Subtle, underlying - finely dosed tuberose, rose, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang.
Even the mentioned mango only makes a very delicate appearance. Quite differently, the so-called base gradually approaches from the heart of the fragrance. Here it’s again "full steam ahead"!!
Let dark woods and balsams speak in these spicy heights and depths. This beautiful perfume has no role models, nor does it need them. In my opinion, it could represent one itself in its unique and also idiosyncratic manner. For spice lovers, wood enthusiasts, and fans of subtle flowers. A magnificent spice cinema in 3D and Technicolor!
