Tubéreuse Absolue
Tubéreuse Absolue by Perris Monte Carlo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, cardamom, lavender and galbanum, moves into tuberose, sambac jasmine and gardenia and dries down to orange blossom, cedarwood, vetiver and musk. Expect around 8 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.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Galbanum Intensely green resin. Smells like snapping a plant stem in half.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
Dry-down
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
