The t
uberose interpretation of Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier
Tubéreuse starts with topnotes that reminds me of
powdery lipstick. The tuby-note are evident even if embedded in lipstick. As the
top notes fades and the perfume reach it's heart, a more polished version
of the
typical dirty "stable-like"
jasmine note of MPG matsterly interpreted in the MPG soliflore Jasmine, appears accompaning the tuberose. There are a lot of similarities between Jasmine and
Tubéreuse but the latter
is more well modulated and polished even if some skankiness lurking behind it's elegant exterior. The former is straight forward, it smells as it has just left the stable. In both Tubereuse and Jasmine the top-and mid-range are infused with
green notes that accentuates that respective flower. The green notes are slightly harsh, galbanum comes in mind but without the typical crispiness of that stuff. Just as Jasmine, Tubéreuse is grounded in the special
MPG musc that contribute to the retro-like impression of their fragrances.
To summon all up, MPG Tubéreuse is a green floral scent accented by tuberose although there is a hefty dose of jasmine too. The scent is not an equally distinct and compact tuberose frag such as Annick Goutals Tubéreuse or Frederic Malle Carnal Flower. As Tubereuse is not very powerful and it is almost percived as thin in the projection. But it fills its place as a retro scent with a clearly nostalgic vibe. Tubéreuse is an EDT that fits well wearing during daytime especially for spring and summer.
