Tubereuse 40 New York unisex

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on african orange flower, bergamot and tangerine, moves through tuberose, jasmine and sandalwood, and settles on ambrette (musk mallow) and oak moss.

• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
