The best tuberose perfumes

Tuberose: Harvest, Origin…

Tuberose is a flower native to Mexico. Today, tuberose is harvested mainly in India but also in the south of France, in the Grasse region. It is cultivated for its white, fragrant flowers. Tuberose is harvested primarily in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The tubers are planted in early spring for flowering in summer. The flowers are harvested in the evening, at sunset, as this is when they are most fragrant. They are then extracted quickly to obtain a high-quality, fragrant product.

What does Tuberose smell like in perfumery?

In perfumery, tuberose is famous for its intense fragrance. It is generally classified in the floral olfactory family. It exudes rich floral, green, milky, fruity, and animal notes, often described as narcotic. Its scent can also be slightly spicy.

Why Does Tuberose Smell Good?

Tuberose owes its captivating fragrance to its complex chemical composition. It contains odorous compounds such as methyl anthranilate, methyl isoeugenol, etc., which contribute to its floral, heady, and spicy scent. It shares many molecules with other white flowers, such as orange blossom. In addition, tuberose also contains volatile molecules that diffuse into the air, enhancing its powerful fragrance.
