Very nice tuberose and white floral - but leans simple
This review is for a sample of Tuberoza that I received as part of the Nishani discovery set. This discovery set it a mixed bag of perfumes with very different tastes and personalities. It is perhaps worth ordering individual samples of the perfumes you are interested in.
Tuberoza is one of two tuberose scents in the Nishani discovery set, the other being Hundred Silent Ways. Tuberoza is a cleaner tuberose like Givenchy’s Desinvolte or L’Interdit, presenting itself as a tuberose-dominant white floral. This is the key distinction from Carnal Flower, which is a green perfume with tuberose notes, albeit a very lovely perfume. As its name implies, tuberose is present all times in the olfactory pyramid in Tuberoza.
The opening notes ylang-ylang and citrus add a greenish personality, though barely lasting an hour. I confess that I cannot distinguish all the notes listed in the opening notes. The orange note in the opening is beautiful, but also very fleeting. The heart notes - tuberose and jasmine mostly - take over completely after the first few minutes. These notes endure for 8-10 hours before disappearing. The base notes and the dry down that remains are vague - mild sandalwood and musk - more like a skin scent.
The performance is very good with moderate sillage and a longevity of more than 8 hours on skin. On clothes it lasts longer and continue to smell like the heart notes. So, I would recommend one spray on your clothes as well.
In summary, it is a good perfume if you are a tuberose enthusiast. You can get 50 ml for about $100, though I would prefer it to be around $75 or less. Similar to my opinion on Carnal Flower, I would hesitate buying Tuberoza if you have another good tuberose perfume in your collection. Carnal Flower is a better tuberose in my opinion, if you don’t mind the opening green notes.
