Nasomatto Narcotic Venus
by Nasomatto

This is a "warm" tuberose, much like Profumum Tuberosa, with jasmine, lily, spices & musk. l like it, but agree it has poor longevity, hence the neutral rating. l would definitely go for the Profumum over this.

I have never smelled a real tuberose. The most close cousin of a tuberose i know the natural scent of is hyacinth and daffodil and both smell very distinct. but i love all the tuberose scents. Fracas, tuberose nor, tuberose criminalle, tuberose coutre....Narcotic venus is a rich heady tuberose scent (like all other tuberose dominant scents) but different from them; has a poor longelivity. My nose does not pass over the tuberose to other flowers or spices (neither the scent survives long enough for that, it disapears in an hour. My tumb is up because i love tuberose and this scent has a creamy milder opening than the others. would be perfect with a longer persistence.

This reminds me a bit of Carnal Flower, but without the cool, camphorous opening note and with a bit more complexity. The tuberose, jasmine, and lily accord, indolic and overtly sexual, is balanced by spices that cut the sweetness. This is a lush, womanly scent that doesn't mess around!

When I first tried this a few months ago I dismissed it as a rather average heady floral. Then I tried it again the other day and started to appreciate it. Yes, it is heady and floral, but it is also extremely sensual; the hot-flesh quality of the tuberose is very prominent. It reminds me of Renee Tuberose, but whereas Renee Tuberose is quite lady-like, this is very sexy. It is definitely not a cool tuberose like Tubereuse Criminelle. I'm seriously considering adding it to my wardrobe.
