Pros & Cons
- ✅ Herrera Tuberose is a very pleasant well blended predominantly white floral fragrance with a small but discernible hit of vanilla and ylang ylang thrown into the mix to sweeten things up.
- ✅ Sweet, bubblegum tuberose, similar to Watch by Micalef, on me. Definitely not indolic, which I prefer. This is beautiful!
- ✅ Sweetly vanillic tuberose with accents of jasmine and sweet orange blossom, opens soapy but the soapiness lessens as it breathes on the skin.
- ✅ Herrera Tuberose is a very pleasant well blended predominantly white floral fragrance with a small but discernible hit of vanilla and ylang ylang thrown into the mix to sweeten things up. The neroli I believe brings a soapy floral nuance into the mix in the opening which is the part I least care for but this quickly gives way to the tuberose that is slightly bubble gummy and not at all indolic (thankfully!). The jasmine I can't really pick out but I feel that's what lends a brightness to what could have otherwise been a very heavy composition because of all the florals. I really enjoy the Ylang Ylang which brings slightest hint of creamy banana-y fruitiness into the mix which lingers throughout and the slight sweetness of vanilla. The blends in this line are simply superb and very well balanced so picking notes apart is no easy task. Overall, this is one of the more pleasant tuberose fragrances in my collection and I really like it but it is not as special to me as others from this line are which is mostly because of the fragrance families I prefer. If you love florals, then this is a solid offering from the line and definitely worth checking out.
- ✅ Tuberose is not a note a like as a soliflore, it is very strong for me so I prefer to stay away from tuberose constructed perfumes. But this is not the case. First of all here tuberose is very subtle and smoothed with orange blossom (which I love) lilies and jasmine, ylang ylang it also has vanilla as base note and pepper at the head. It makes a completely creamy and smooth combination for me taking away the pungent and soapy facet of the tuberose.
- ✅ Sweetly vanillic tuberose with accents of jasmine and sweet orange blossom, opens soapy but the soapiness lessens as it breathes on the skin. Warm/hot weather is best for this, needs heat. Heavy sillage, leaves a noticeable trail and quite the compliment getter.
- ❌ My least favorite from the ones I own by this line. It is just a bubblegum tuberose it made me sick, it also kind of smells like an expensive air freshener. You should test before buying
- ❌ Potentemente dulce y floral, casi estridente a mi percepción. Dura días en la ropa y horas en el ambiente solo al pulverizarlo. Eso es mucho. No es malo quizás, pero a mí me dió malestar y dolor de cabeza.
- ❌ Carolina Herrera siempre fue, o delicado ó fuerte. Pero ésta fragancia superó a todas en su línea y lastimosamente no por algo necesariamente bueno. Al olerlo en el secante me gustó de lejos. Pero después de tenerlo, fue tan fuerte que lo tuve que regalar. Potentemente dulce y floral, casi estridente a mi percepción. Dura días en la ropa y horas en el ambiente solo al pulverizarlo. Eso es mucho. No es malo quizás, pero a mí me dió malestar y dolor de cabeza. No es algo que me suceda con perfumes, excepto con algunos perfumes árabes turbo concentrados que huelen a incienso de rosas sintéticas. No recomiendo comprarlo a ciegas, mejor un sample primero. Cada experiencia y gusto es diferente, es lo que pienso.
