Tuberose is one of the most dramatic and powerful floral notes in perfume, along with jasmine, gardenia, freesia, and iris. Tuberose exudes a liqueur-like, velvety, dark, and powdery-sweet aroma, and a classic floral perfume note., It can come off as “too grandma” for some - but a very seductive and potent aphrodisiac for others. If you enjoy stronger styles of perfume, and feel best when your scents make an intense and sensual statement on the skin, tuberose is a must-try. It’s best when paired with other, heavy floral notes such as jasmine, gardenia, and freesia, and contrasts wonderfully with pungent spices like black pepper, frangipani, licorice, and anise, as well as ripe, sweet fruit like raspberry, blackberry, and cherry.

Velvety and soft, the peach note adds a juicy, soft note to both fine and functional compositions.

It’s texture is both youthful and deeply sensual, and it’s sweet, sun-drenched juiciness is ideal for summer scents and bold, sexy fragrances. It’s richness is best in a blend rather than as a major note, and its tempting, sugary confidence goes with pears, oranges, pineapple, mint, leather, tobacco, incense, patchouli, and vanilla. Peach is also ideal for light florals, giving their softness a come-hither allure. Peach goes with fall and summer best, as its juicy sweetness elevates sugary summer scents as well as spicy fall selections.
