The Best Tuberose Perfumes To Sniff And Spritz Before Spring Hits

There’s a reason the floral note is a favourite - by Samantha McMeekin

The Best Tuberose Perfumes To Sniff And Spritz Before Spring Hits

Tuberose has been used in fragrance for over 400 years and for damn good reason. 

The seductive floral not only has incredible staying power, but its distinct (and not too sweet) scent is so alluring, it even captures the attention of those who’d typically steer clear of the fragrance family altogether.

In fact, the snowy white flower was said to be so desirable during Queen Victoria’s reign, that young women were reportedly banned from sniffing them in bloom, for fear it would trigger a spontaneous orgasm.

Unlike a romantic rose, which some may associate with powdery and cloying memories, the tuberose note is a crisper, sharper and greener garden find. A favourite of French Queen Marie Antoinette, the tube-like flower is said to represent a love of adventure (and perhaps a passionate affair). 

So if you’re looking to spruce up your perfume wardrobe for spring, these beautiful tuberose perfumes are ripe for the picking…

Aerin Tuberose Le Soir and Tuberose Le Jour

We’re starting off with a double dose because you simply can’t mention one of these without the other; they’ve both truly divine.  Le Soir is the warmer of the two with notes of sandalwood, vanilla and bergamot, while Le Jour pairs tuberose with neroli, orange flower and jasmine for a woodier take.

$320 each at Myer

jo malone tuberose

Jo Malone Tuberose Angelica Cologne Intense

If you’re a true tuberose fan, you’ll find the note pleasingly dominant and heady here. It opens with a slightly fresher note of angelica, but dries down to a golden amber linger.

$180 at Myer

carnal flower perfume

Editions de Parfums By Frédéric Malle Carnal Flower EDP

This artistic interpretation of the soliflore tuberose flower opens loudly with a big splash of green. Described as tuberose infused in coconut cream, it’s tropical yet sophisticated, and ideal for warmer weather.

$347 at MECCA

diptyque do don

Diptyque Do Son EDT

Juicy and sharp with a slightly musky base, this feminine floral pairs tuberose with jasmine and orange blossom for everyday elegance. It’s definitely one for those who play with florals often.

$187 at MECCA

ALTAIA tuberose in blue

Altaia Tuberose in Blue EDP

If you like your scent lighter in the spring, this one is punchy enough to notice, but soft enough to wear anywhere. Think the scent of tuberose floating through your window on a crisp spring morning.

$311 at MECCA

Gucci Bloom

The pairing of natural tuberose with jasmine leaves is a magical match that immediately transports the wearer to a lush, green garden. It’s unexpectedly rich and will leave a waft of ‘what’s she wearing?’ in your wake.
