Tubéreuse Nue
Tom Ford (2021)

White floral perfection. Heavenly fluffy, lactonic tuberose, brought closer to earth with subtle hints of Sichuan pepper, chocolate, and oud. Fortunately, I don't get anything negative here (plastic?!) that some others get. Runs linear, it's true. But who cares if it is this creamy, lush, opulent delicious from beginning to end. Speaking of end, this doesn't seem too until I wash it off. Nice projection for several hours than closer with lovely wafts here and there. Leaves a lovely trail of in its wake.

Makes me think of a Tuberose version of Shanghai Lily as it has the same vibe.

I have a 10ml. now. I know I am going to need a bottle of this.

Yes, Tuberose galore, a bright version of this floral, which is quite waxy with its indolic characteristics, but not very strongly so. At this stage there is a discreetly earthy undertone that blends in quite well.

A bit later the tuberose assumes darker features,with a sweet-ish pepper in the background. The musk proposed in the scent pyramid is sweet too, but equally faint on me. Towards the end a restrained, smooth leather, a light-weight suede impression, is present that lingers until the end.

I get moderate sillage, good projection and five hours of longevity on my skin.

The tuberose that gives this spring creation its name is indeed the core of this scent. Is is not bad, but, unfortunately, a rather synthetic version though, and the other notes are rather generic. It is quite middle-of-the-road and a bit nue as far as quality is concerned; this olfactory emperor does not wear many clothes. 2.75/5
