I used to wear a lot of tuberose about ten years ago. I should have bought tuberose criminelle then because I assuredly would have whipped through a bottle by now. I was more a (frederic malle carnal ...Read more

There must be a university, somewhere, where the course Tubereuse Criminelle is being held. The discussions, the arguments pro and con, the life experiences ~ all leading to 'The' verdict. As a studen...Read more

I have been reading about this legendary fragrance for quite some time and having never tried it, based on the reviews, I made a blind purchase of a bell jar from a friend who was visiting Paris. Now...Read more

No doubt about it, this is a mega tuberose. Yes, of course, there is that hard hit of camphor cool in the first few minutes, but as it settles down you are left with that beautiful, silky tuberose. It...Read more

Godzilla Giant Poison Tuberose of Dooooooooooom with a few gallons of methyl salicylate in the topnotes. Love it. Avoid while pregnant or breastfeeding, consult medical practitioner before use.

I can't match the eloquence of many previous posters here. With the exception of Antica Farmacista's Casablanca le Parfum I'm not too much of a soloflore lover. But...as TC and Carnal Flower are well ...Read more

Upon application of this fragrance, I learnt that tuberose is not my smell, at all. It had enormous staying power, which is good and bad. Bad because I wanted to be rid of the aroma, but good, because...Read more

The opening of this one is original and distinct: like grape jelly and eucalyptus. Medicinal notes that contrast the sticky sweetness of tuberose. But as it dries down, it loses that potency, and beco...Read more

This is certainly a divisive fragrance, but I'm happy enough to be on my side of the divide because it means I'm not likely to meet another woman wearing it. I LOVE it: I love the opening blast that r...Read more

In general, I suppose I'm not a tuberose kind of gal--Fracas is way too much for me, and Beyond Love is nice and pretty but that's all (certainly not enough to justify the outrageous price tag). Noix...Read more

Tuberose normally makes me nauseous, but the menthol sharpens it here and makes it much more palatable. There's a slightly buttery, musky note that I wish was more amplified, and I think buying a ment...Read more

Unexpected, soothing, wonderful, fleeting, fragile, addicting… That’s my Tubéreuse Criminelle. Your mileage may vary. All white flowers have what I call the “Dorian Gray issue”: a sweet, angelic, in...Read more

If the brief for Tubéreuse Criminelle had been "revision Fracas for contemporary tastes", Serge Lutens could not have done better, for here the classic has been clarified into its essentials. The noto...Read more

This one definitely gets a "5" for quality, beauty and most definitely originality. Like most tuberoses, it is a diva and not everyone's cup of tea, but it is not nearly as scary as some of the revie...Read more
