Beyond Love
by By Kilian

Most tuberose fragrances are quite feminine as it is a sweet flower, but Beyond Love has a slightly earthier green aura to it, which makes it very acceptable for me. It also has a tropical feel to it and must be the inclusion of the coconut -- well the flower is Mexican, so sub at least. Really nice.

Beyond Love fulfills my tuberose needs ! I love this - to me this is a mix of Tubereuse Criminelle, Carnal Flower and Fracas. It starts off slightly gasoline - like ,green ,a little camphorous and then it's tuberose, indolic,thick and there 's even abit of a cheese note ( savory rather than blue cheese ! ) . I love this, it's full bodied, long lasting and close to a signature scent for me.

Beyond Love is somewhere in the region between Fracas and Carnal Flower, but somewhat "less" than either in scope and volume. It's a simple and pleasant tuberose, moving from greenish to peach-tinged and musky, but other than that - all tuberose! Unfortunately it's also a rather flat tuberose to my nose, so I can't say I'm awed by it, but it's certainly exceedingly pleasant and wearable.

On paper I get a soft, pleasant, balanced green jamine / green tuberose; there’s a breadth and richness to the accord that makes it different from a more ordinary tuberose / green. It’s a truly beautiful accord, and it holds for hours without changing very much… it simply travels the direct path to becoming softer and more delicate. On paper Beyond Love shows itself to be a soft white floral green whose most identifiable characteristics are some undercurrents of a very nice animalic ambiance, the high quality of the ingredients, a shadow of ambergris in the drydown, and remarkable longevity – in other words, it is an excellent fragrance – on paper.

However, on my skin it’s a different fragrance: my skin immediately annihilates most of the floral elements and magnifies the green aspects of the opening / heart to a piercing degree. The sillage that emanates off my skin is sharply green. It’s not a bad or annoying note, but it is pretty generic… not very interesting. I believe that Beyond Love is the first tuberose fragrance I’ve tried that doesn’t work at all for me.

I find this to be funkier than Carnal Flower. A sort of cross between Fracas and Carnal Flower with an in your face green spunky smell that makes it a little over the top for me. I prefer the buttery yum tuberose in Carnal Flower decidedly over this one. But I think many people would appreciate this as it is very pretty none-the-less. Because of the funky green note I think a man could wear this better than many other versions of tuberose. Very unisex. The dry down suited me better because it calmed down. I agree that you can tell this is well-made, quality stuff. It really does last. Overall a very nice scent.

Jus SO pretty. I am a huge tuberose fan and own several. I love her in all her phases - from the in-your-face jungle animal to the hot house lady and this creation of Calice Becker's is a real fave.

On me she starts jasmine-y green with the animalic undertones of The Real Thing (I am a florist) and quietly morphs into the refined slightly sweet presence of the huge bouquet across the room in a crystal vase.

RULLY lovely.
