Tubéreuse Nue

Tubéreuse Nue opens with a bold, tactile burst of sweet white florals—jasmine, lily, and tuberose—imbued with a sharp, plasticky note reminiscent of latex, synthetic candy, or cold plastic. This initial accord, driven by Sichuan pepper and a creamy, almost waxy tuberose, can feel overwhelming or irritating to some, particularly those sensitive to synthetic floral notes. The scent evolves into a soft, warm, and luscious dry-down with a prominent musky, suede-like base, enhanced by tonka and benzoin, creating a cozy, almost skin-like sensation. The long-term projection is moderate to strong, lingering well into the day and evening, with some describing it as an elegant, refined sensual white floral with a modern, unisex appeal. It’s noteworthy for its intense personal journey—many reviewers describe a delayed appreciation, where the initial assault gives way to a deeply satisfying, creamy floral warmth. However, the fragrance's high price point, frequent noted artificiality, and divisive opening make it polarizing. Some find it redundant compared to other white florals, while others consider it a rare, luxurious experience—certainly not for the faint of heart.
