“A strange journey. It begins with an image from a 16th-century Spanish herbal: a slender plant with pale white flowers. Bone flowers. We found the same flowers in the chinampas, the floating gardens of the Aztecs. And also in India, Martinique, Morocco, and the nocturnal gardens of the Victorian era. Tuberose, the forbidden perfume, has continued to bewitch our sense of smell ever since.” [travel notes] A dark allure has accompanied Tuberose, the forbidden perfume, throughout its history. Omix – ochitl – the skeletal white flower that opens only at dusk – was considered a deadly flower in ancient Mexico. It became known in the 16th century, and its history in the world of perfumery still retains sinister connotations today. The essence of the flowers collected in bud can be compared to a clean, creamy accord. But its true vocation is dark, sensual, carnal. And that's exactly how we captured it. Our Tubéreuse Absolue, the fruit of an almost obsessive search for raw materials, ignites the senses and pushes them to the limit... Wear it nonchalantly to baptisms, confirmations, and weddings. And watch what happens. Top Notes: Bergamot, Cardamom, Lavender, Galbanum Heart Notes: Tuberose, Sambac Jasmine, Gardenia Base Notes: Orange Blossom, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Musk
