Café Tuberosa
Café Tuberosa by Atelier Cologne is an unisex eau de cologne from 2015 in the premium price tier. It opens with bergamot, mandarin and cardamom, moves into rose and tuberose and dries down to vanilla, white musk, coffee and cocoa. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
