What does Café Tuberosa smell like?

Café Tuberosa lasts well and projects at a moderate level, so it stays close rather than filling the room. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It is worn for leisure, evenings and nights out; voters read it as feminine more often than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine.

It opens with cardamom, mandarin and bergamot, giving a spicy brightness. In the heart, espresso, tuberose and Damask rose absolute lead, with the floral side staying creamy and sweet. The base of cocoa absolute, patchouli and Bourbon vanilla closes it with gourmand warmth. Yves Saint Laurent Libre Vanille Couture and Parfums d'Elmar Kaya have a close profile.
