What does Tubéreuse 1 Capricieuse smell like?
It opens with bergamot, tuberose and saffron together; in the heart, ylang-ylang and iris pull the floral structure in a powdery direction. Tuberose carries on into the base, where cocoa and suede make the scent sweet, soft and warmly animalic.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. More than half of voters read it as feminine, though a fair share find it masculine.
