Tubéreuse Hédonie Roger & Gallet 2017

I've just tested this wonder today and it is the most beautiful daytime + good weather tuberose I know. A naturalistic and airy tuberose, surrounded by a bit of green citrus, a tiny pinch of the sister white flowers plus a non dominant ylang ylang which joins a light, soft and smooth elemi base. Its has more of a veil effect than a creamy one on me. Somehow a bit naive, in a good natural way. It is subtle, gentle and it makes me happy that it exists.

I'm definitely going for the big bottle of this one as soon as I've saved enough. Though I've been in a permanent no buy for a long while, other things require investments at the moment, this is totally full bottle worthy. It is short lived so I will need to reapply. What a glorious thing in this case.

I can see the connections between Tubereuse Hedonie and La Chasse aux Papillons which was also made by Anne Flipo (thank you Anne for such a delicate work), but this one is ever better, a bit warmer and happier without being sweet.

Delightful.
