Tubéreuse Nue
Tubéreuse Nue by Tom Ford is an unisex eau de parfum from 2017 in the luxury price tier. It opens with sichuan pepper and jasmine, moves into tuberose, styrax, benzoin and cocoa and dries down to musk, suede, tonka bean and oud. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Sichuan Pepper Buzzy, citrus-tinged pepper. Tingles rather than burns.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Heart
- Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Cocoa Dry, dusty chocolate. Bitter rather than sweet.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
