Tuberose
Tuberose er en af de mest dramatiske og kraftfulde blomsternoter i parfumeverdenen sammen med jasmin, gardenia, fresia og iris. Tuberose udstråler en likøragtig, fløjlsblød, mørk og pudret-sød aroma og er en klassisk blomstret parfumetone. Den kan virke "for bedstemoragtig" for nogle - men er en meget forførende og potent afrodisiakum for andre.
Hvis du nyder kraftigere parfumestilarter og har det bedst, når dine dufte sætter et intenst og sensuelt udtryk på huden, er tuberose et must-prøve. Den er bedst, når den parres med andre tunge blomsternoter som jasmin, gardenia og fresia, og kontrasterer vidunderligt med skarpe krydderier som sort peber, frangipani, lakrids og anis, samt med modne, søde frugter som hindbær, brombær og kirsebær.
Meget bedøvende, jasminagtig, appelsinblomstagtig, frugtig, krydret, honningagtig og erotisk.

Historie
Tuberose has been cultivated in Grasse since the 17th century, where its lavish scent was extracted using the enfleurage technique. However, the flower’s true history far precedes its centuries of cultivation in Grasse. In fact, the Aztecs are even thought to have perfumed their chocolate using the dainty flower. In Victorian times, tuberose was thought to symbolize all things sensual and decidedly scandalous—a scent known for its aphrodisiac powers. Young women were warned of the power the flower possesses, and advised against breathing its intoxicating scent after dark.
Produktion
A sun-loving flower, the tuberose is native to Mexico and India. It is an herbaceous plant grown from bulbs, with high floral stems and flowers that grow in fragrant 6-petal clusters. Today, tuberose flowers are mostly grown in India, Egypt, on the Comoro Islands, Morocco, and—to a lesser extent—France. Tuberose begins to bloom at the end of spring and reaches its peak in early August. The corollas are harvested every morning—just as they open. Their scent is gathered through extraction using volatile solvents.
