Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Tubéreuse Nue Parfum presents a raw, fleshy, and intensely animalic interpretation of tuberose, stripped of typical sweetness to reveal the flower's more carnal and indolic facets. Jasmine and ylang-ylang amplify the creamy, slightly rubbery richness, while sandalwood and cashmeran provide a warm, skin-like base. The result is a bold, maximalist white floral that feels simultaneously naked and opulent.
Opens with a warm, slightly medicinal saffron that cuts through what could otherwise be pure dessert territory, then gives way quickly to a creamy jasmine-vanilla heart that smells expensive rather than edible. The benzoin anchors the dry-down into something resinous and skin-close — soft projection, intimate sillage, the kind of fragrance that reads differently on everyone but always lands as quietly sensual. It doesn't announce itself across a room; it rewards proximity — Cool-weather evenings, close contact, people who want their scent noticed only up close.
