So a few folks had remarked about the miraculousness of this tuberose centric fragrance oh into the fact it contains no tuberose natural material (I think I read that somewhere?) and knowing Christophe's tongue in cheek trickery the name sort of alludes to this too. Anyway I think it's difficult (and also conversely quite easy) to judge, because having smelled different tuberose materials of natural origin and bases and recreations and stuff like that, I have to say, tuberose is pretty changeable stuff. I thought I knew what it was, but I don't really. That being said this perfume captures some of the raw elements, it's salty and waxy and strange, mildly sweet but this isn't a fun, exotic tuberose, a pink hued, bubblegum kitsch thing, nor is it particularly green and crunchy or indolic. It's a peculiarly sterile, antiseptic, floral and to borrow from a pal 'smells like the halls of a junior school' and I get all that weirdness. So it shares tuberose's complex nature and I enjoy it as a perfume spectacle but I don't like it or want to wear it... Until the drydown. After hours and hours IT SMELLS GLORIOUS!!! The base materials the floral parts go all powdery and musky but not at all sweet, it's divine!!! but can I wait that long through all that rubbery, waxy strangeness....maybe??? the jury is still out.
