Tulua Kinetic Perfumes 2025

Now comes the next manufacturer sample from the Parfumo competition, Tulua. In and of itself, I find the fragrance quite good, even if the whole thing is too sweet for me as a man. The longevity on my skin is around 10 hours with a fairly moderate sillage.

The top note starts refreshing, somewhat synthetic and citrusy-fruity thanks to lemon peel, mandarin and bergamot. The heart note goes in a sweet, creamy and subtly floral direction. I can smell amber, benzoin, magnolia, jasmine blossom and tonka beans. The base is predominantly carried by ambroxan. I also detect a creamy, fruity lemon vanilla ice cream.

Satisfied? Yes! Enthusiastic? No! The Tulua once again seems to be a "hype fragrance" that doesn't really captivate me.
