Tubéreuse Criminelle
Tubéreuse Criminelle by Serge Lutens is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 1999 in the niche price tier. It opens with eucalyptus and mint, moves into tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine and dries down to musk, vanilla and styrax. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Eucalyptus Sharp, camphorous, clears the head. Reads as clean more than green.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
