Good choice

I love tuberose. A lot. I own multiple perfumes with tuberose as a scent note. I love smelling their subtle differences.
A friend of mine and I swapped perfumes this week so that we each had a chance to try a new scent.
The bottle is dark and lovely. It’s an easy spray, perfect even for inside a purse. The scent is definitely more “feminine” if I had to choose a side.
It’s a nice floral blend. I’m guessing they didn’t use a lot of tuberose because I smell more jasmine, also a favorite. Great sillage and several hours of longevity.

Mediocre

A few years ago, I went through a phase where I was really into Tokyomilk fragrances. I bought quite a few of them, of course ordering them blind, as there was nowhere to test them at the time.
The Dark line fascinated me as well, and that's why I had to get La Vie La Mort, as it sounded like the best option based on the scent notes back then.
I like tuberose, jasmine too, cardamom didn't scare me at the time, and hibiscus, or rather hibiscus leaf - Hibiscus Leaf - to be precise, as it says on the bottle, didn't put me off either. So I went for it.
By now, the bottle is sitting in the far corner of my cabinet because I can't wear, or rather endure, the scent.
The tuberose is definitely noticeable, jasmine too, although only briefly. I quite like cardamom now, but I can't detect it at all, and what makes the scent unpleasant for me is, in my opinion, the hibiscus leaf. It gives the perfume a strange undertone, making it smell somewhat musty and green, slightly woody and soapy.
The sillage and longevity are in the medium range, and while the bottle is quite nice, black just isn't my thing. I also don't understand why the fragrance is named as it is.
I have worn the scent, by the way, I bought it, so it gets worn, that's my motto. However, not often, as my colleague, with whom I sat in the office back then, couldn't stand it. It made her feel nauseous or something... So I left it alone, take it out of the cabinet every few months, test it, and then put it back. It's actually a shame!

Nothing dead, nothing dark, all easy

La Vie La Mort is once again not dark at all; on the contrary, I find it to be quite a friendly summer fragrance. A friendly, not overly expressive tuberose scent. I don't need it, and it wouldn't strike me as particularly special or unusual on someone else. Ah, it's quite a burden with the Tokyo Milk fragrances. They promise so much and unfortunately deliver so little.

Tuberose, Tuberose and again Tuberose

A perfume from the Tokyo Milk Dark line. All scents in this series come in matte black bottles with their numbering on the side and a white symbolic image on the front. It reminds me of the symbols that appear in the TV series "Fringe." The perfume appears very mysterious, which drew me in magically; I had to test some of them.
This one, number 90, has an image of a flower and its leaves.

Now to the scent:
It starts floral, with a lot of tuberose and jasmine at the same time. I find the perfume not "dark" at all, but very "light."
Tuberose clearly sets the tone here, while the jasmine quickly fades away, and hibiscus doesn't come through at all. Cardamom adds only a slightly soapy undertone, ensuring that the tuberose doesn't "sting" or become overpowering, but remains light and buoyant.
It's a nice floral perfume, but not necessarily something special; the WOW effect is missing. I expected a more interesting scent given the name.
Unfortunately, it's a bit too one-dimensional for me, but the longevity is good.

Fleshy-floral opulence, sweet with green-blue undertones. Wilting bouquet? The name promises more.

Marathon of white blossoms - Jasmine absolute and tuberose battle for 1st place, cardamom lags far behind, hibiscus gives up... the air is too stuffy.
