Tubéreuse de Madras

It opens with passion fruit, violet leaf and orange blossom, which give it a fruity, green and fresh start. In the heart, ylang-ylang, tuberose and frangipani deepen the floral side. In the base, tuberose absolute softens into sandalwood and vanilla, and the scent dries down powdery, sweet and creamy.

Its longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick spring and fall, though summer and winter also get votes. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and suits evenings too. It reads mostly feminine, but it is a unisex perfume.
