The Story
Tuberose in perfumery.
Tuberose, with its rich, heady aroma reminiscent of jasmine but more voluptuous, emerges from the lush landscapes of Asia. Its scent is both sweet and subtly spicy, with undertones that can veer towards the green or even the slightly soapy, depending on how it's processed.
Perfumers often place tuberose at the heart of their compositions to create depth and complexity. It pairs beautifully with jasmine, musk, sandalwood, vanilla, bergamot, and rose, enhancing the overall richness and warmth of a fragrance. This union creates scents that are both enveloping and memorable.
Today, tuberose can be found in notable fragrances such as Amouage's Love Tuberose, Estee Lauder’s Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia, and Jo Malone London’s Tuberose Angelica. Despite a slight decline in its use from 5% to 3.9%, tuberose remains a key player in the perfumery world.
