Tubéreuse
Goutal (1984)

First smell. Something in this I like- it's dirty, but compellingly organic. mmm
Second smell. Oh dear god why did I put it on both wrists? I'm starting to feel nauseous.

10 min in, getting a headache. My dogs are not best pleased.

no, just no. Hot tires and some rottingish undercurrent. yuck. It's sort of like skunk- a little smells interesting, alot makes you wish you were anywhere else. Time to scrub.

As the name suggests , it's a tuberose soliflore.

Very similar to Carnal Flower , Fracas & Beyond Love but it is not complex. That's not a bad thing but comparing it to the above three really renders them complex.


It is the epitome of French perfumery. Need I say more?

I will elaborate on projection.

Wearing it is like flying a kite. Unless you make an effort to be aware of its presence at it, you will only know its there when a wind heaves the kite and you're notified pleasantly with soft nudges and pulls from the kite thread.

A beautifully soft and creamy tuberose that at the same time is quite green. Exquisite.
