Tuberose is one of my all-time favourite notes, I know a good tuberose when I smell it - this is not one of them. I seriously don’t understand the hype around Maison Crivelli, everything I’ve tried has been disappointment after disappointment. It’s not terrible, but for the price I expected a lot more. To me, this highlights everything people don’t like about tuberose, usually because they’ve only smelled this sort of stuff in most mainstream releases. It’s intensely sweet, like bubblegum, with this fruity sweetness intensified and made slightly dry by the inclusion of osmanthus. Cinnamon is present, and seems awfully out of place, messing everything up. I don’t like this; as I said it’s not awful, but it smells like it costs a fifth of what it actually does. It just smells vulgar, crude, plasticky and fake - not for me at all.

100% synthetic, ultra-modern, screechy, chemical warfare. I get the appeal, but it's just not feasible for people with busy lives to go around smelling like this. I would certainly lose clients if I did. I'm all for bold scents, but there's bold-stunning-classy and there's bold-needy-compensating, and this is in the latter category. Update: the mid stage up close is really beautiful, sort of nutty and leathery, whereas from a distance it's the chemical tuberose still.... But.... Next day, it's still projecting strongly from my skin. It's just way too strong. I don't like perfumes that stop me wearing something else the next day and after washing, and which are indelible on clothes.

This stuff is amazing!! Guy can definitely rock this!!! Definitely re buy this again!!!
