The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1978 by L'Artisan Parfumeur and crafted by Jean-François Laporte, Tubereuse is a floral masterpiece that captures the essence of tuberose with a lush complexity. The fragrance opens with pink pepper and mandarin orange, providing an initial burst of freshness before diving into the heart where tuberose takes center stage alongside mango and ylang-ylang. This opulent bouquet is anchored by precious woods, resins, and musk, creating a warm, enveloping base that feels both comforting and slightly animalic.
Tubereuse by L'Artisan Parfumeur has a long-lasting base but a fleeting top note. Apply it in layers to ensure that the full richness of tuberose and its supporting accords are experienced throughout the day. It's best worn close to skin, where it can develop fully without overpowering.
