Tuberose is an extroverted and boisterous tropical white flower with an intense, heady floral fragrance – suggestive of a gardenia only more powerful and memorable.
My first experience with tuberose was with a florist in the Rockridge neighborhood in Oakland. I lived there in the early 1990's when Market Hall was new.
I was a little overwhelmed by how strong the scent was at first when the women who worked at the florist put tuberose in bouquets I bought there. I started to recognize hints of tuberose in many perfumes and loved it. Like Neroli, there is a distinct, almost pungent scent to it.
You can sample this fragrance, and all of my fragrances before you invest in a larger bottle. Sales are final.
***This incredible scent, a warm tropical evening walk in Mexico. ***
These are the things that imprint in my mind!! (I do know that not all of Mexico is tropical.)
It is one of the most fragrant flowers in the world. Full bodied, warm and heady, like many white tropical flowers, reminds you of, but isn't the same as, gardenia, jasmine, lily. Just try it! 💮
