Tubereuse Absolue Extrait

Tubereuse Absolue Extrait by Perris Monte Carlo £250.00

  • Key notes:
  • galbanum
  • gardenia
  • tuberose
  • Aromagroups:
  • floral
  • vintage/old school

In the aromatic universe, tuberose lounges between the themes of lush creamy white floral, surprisingly bitter hay-like green and sharp spicy.

Perris is fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures, and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfumes. So much so, that they experiment with the same perfume material in two different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and extait.

How does this work? Tubereuse Abolue EdP is a sweet luscious bloom. On the extrait version, the darker earthier side of tuberose is encouraged with cedarwood, vetiver, and aggressively green galbanum.

  • floral

Tuberose is arguably the most divisive and polarising floral note due to its narcotic and carnal tones, here Pierre Guillaume pays tribute to its couture complexity.

The camphorous and medicinal opening of PG17 Tubéreuse Couture, is softened by shoots of green ripe jasmine and a sour tart accord created by rare South Asian citrus kalamansi.

PG17 Tubéreuse Couture soon develops in a creamy, fleshy and opulent tuberose bouquet. Ylang-ylang heightens and supports the buttery and lactonic (milky)  tones of tuberose, sweetened by a base of sugar cane and benzoin.

A daring and head-turning scent, PG17 Tubéreuse Couture is a wonderfully dramatic interpretation of this flamboyant flower, in its pure, unadulterated state.

Definitely not for wallflowers.

This perfume goddess wields two green swords: one of gardenia, one of neroli.

Real swords make a 'whoosh' sound, but here the perfume equivalents produce two beautiful currents that spiral around each other: the creamy hay-like trail of gardenia, and the sharp green citrus of neroli.

In India, flowers are sacred symbols and an essential part of daily life. “Malli Nadu” means “land of jasmine”, inspired by the paradise of perfume ingredients found in India. There’s jasmine sambac, cultivated in India since antiquity, with its radiant fruity/green sheen and animalic undertone. There’s tuberose, an opulent, powerful floral, along with davana, an aromatic plant unique to India with a profile that vibrates between apricot and herbaceous. Palmerosa oil supplies a geranium-like lift, while Indian vetiver and sandalwood deepens and softens the composition. Perfumer Ilias Ermenidis sought to translate the romance of India into this luminous scent, which he calls “a fragrance for lovers”

An iconic classic in its own rite, Quelques Fleurs is a true ingenious scent of its time. The French perfumer, Robert Bienaimé, unveiled Quelques Fleurs the first true multi-floral blend ever created, in 1912.

Since then, his perfectly-balanced, refined bouquet has become modern perfumery’s peerless criterion for pure, meticulously-crafted, multi-floral accords. Prior to his bold invention, floral fragrances had been mainly singular flowers, or florals combined with various nuances of herbs and spices. Bienaimé’s singular triumph is remarkable for its secret, mythical formula. Upwards of 15,000 exemplary flowers and 250 prestigious raw materials are diligently-curated in the creation of a single ounce of perfume.
