Caron Tubereuse?

I love tuberose, and the little I've heard on Caron's has been mostly good. There seems to be a boutique-exclusive parfum, which gets most of the attention, and an eau de parfum whose release is so limited only one place, in London, sells it.

Has anyone here tried this? If so, did you like it? What tuberose fragrance would you say it's closest to?

Thanks so much in advance.

Acaciosa revived my interest in this line, for sure! Tubereuse I've been curious about for a while now... I've only heard good things, but despite large amounts of tuberose lovers, and any number of Caron fans, not much is said about it.

I took the plunge and bought a large decant from TPC ( they're having a Caron parfum sale now, for those interested - competitive prices given that Caron sells the same amount for three times the price, and no, no affiliation here ). I'll be reporting back as soon as it arrives!

Well, it arrived! I wrote an in-depth review over here. What an odd beast this is. I must say the only review I've read that matches my feelings is The Scented Salamander one. The Lady Macbeth of tuberoses is perfect description.

Listed Notes: tuberose, jasmine, a touch of acidity, freesia.

Actual notes: tuberose, witch hazel, a touch of malevolence, fear.

Try it. No promises that a house won't fall on you, though...

I can easily imagine this being just right for a certain kind of person. There is nothing else like it among the tuberoses I've experienced ( I tried the L'Artisan Tuberose a while ago found it kind of soft and pretty, though I've yet to try the Goutal ).

Glad you're enjoying it, Larimar! I used to own this one, but all my Carons went on walkabout last year ( part of a sample package send-around ) and never came home. I've been enjoying the sample you sent.

I have come to appreciate this one more and more each time I try it. It's still not an all-the-time tuberose, but it's easily the most interesting I know and surprisingly, a compliment getter ( I've gotten two compliments on it here, rather unexpectedly given its ''difficult'' nature ).

I know what you mean about Carnal Flower. It's a glorious scent, and the top notes are perfection, but it isn't complex and the base winds up a little bland, though still beautiful. I love it but it's never quite all that I want it to be.

I still don't smell the peach note many smell in this. When I think peachy tuberose, I think Peche Cardinal, Beyond Love, PC Tuberose Gardenia, even a little bit in Fracas, but the Caron has a greener bent, almost a little sudsy. I know there was a Fracas Pour Homme that smelled nothing like Fracas, but if Piguet paired things like Amouage does, with noticeable links between their men's and women's, I could easily see Caron Tubereuse being something akin to Fracas Pour Homme if someone added a pinch of lavender or the like.

As it is, I hope either my Tubereuse returns from its journeys or that I get the opportunity to buy it again.
