What does 17 Tubéreuse Couture smell like?

It opens with green jasmine and calamondin, lightly fruity and bright. At the heart, tuberose and vegetal milk take over, and the flower turns creamy and powdery. The base of cane sugar, ash and benzoin leads into a gourmand sweetness with a faint smoky dryness.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, and it suits evenings and nights out best. Most voters read it as feminine, though it stays open to unisex wear. Madonna Truth or Dare and Fragonard Reine des Cœurs have a close profile.
