The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1939 by Santa Maria Novella, Tuberosa is a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of an opulent floral bouquet. The composition opens with the rich and heady notes of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and African orange flower, leading into a heart dominated by tuberose — its creamy sweetness enveloped by warm spices like clove and pepper. The base is a sophisticated blend of woody elements such as sandalwood and cedar, grounded by an animalic undertone that adds depth and complexity.

How to wear it

Apply Tuberosa sparingly to pulse points — the richness of its floral notes means a little goes a long way. Allow it to develop on skin for about half an hour before leaving your home; this ensures you capture the full depth of its warm, spicy base.
