Reviews of Cepes and Tuberose ![]() Kalynne United StatesShow all reviews | I tested this scent yesterday at the Aftelier sale. Very interesting yet elegant scent. It starts with a hint of earthy mushroom and the herbal woods that surround it. At this point it's very grounding similar to oakmoss, but much richer. After an hour or so, it emerges from the forest floor and goes floral with the rich tuberose and the earthiness is its foundation. It was still present 5 hours later. I think that's pretty good for a natural scent. Just reapply, it's worth it for the experience. It's on my short list to purchase after my Carnal Flower is finished. 12nd December, 2010. |
![]() Off-Scenter Show all reviews | Cepes. Boletus. Porcini. The epicure’s delight, second only to the truffle in the ranks of noble fungi. Savory, ripe, and even a bit grotty, boletus is a natural for perfumery, and I wonder that it doesn’t show up more often in scent pyramids. Cepes and Tuberose opens with a dry herbal accord, backed by woods and leather. The mushroom takes a bit longer to emerge, and when it does it’s dusky, animalic essence almost begs for handmade pasta, garlic, and olive oil. This culinary moment passes as the white floral notes develop, combining with the tang of mushroom and the soft leather backdrop in a somewhat plummy, buttery mélange. The tuberose here is of the sweet and subdued sort, not the dry heady vapor of Fracas or Carnal Flower. At the center of this fragrance is a deftly choreographed, erotic pas de deux between the fungus and the flower, one and then the other taking center stage as the scenery slowly shifts behind them. The leather gives way ever-so-slowly to woods as the foreground floral notes continue to sweeten and the elusive mushroom slowly melds into the background. 15th February, 2010. |
