Tuberose in Perfumery

Les Cahiers des naturels

by Le Collectif Nez, Eleonore de Bonneval, Olivier R.P. David

Native to Mexico, the tuberose found the perfect adoptive home in India, where its highly fragrant, waxy-petaled flowers are used as decoration or offerings. Its potent, heady, opulent scent is often associated with a carnal, erotic femininity.

Discover every facet of the voluptuous flower by journeying through botany, art, gastronomy, history, agriculture and chemistry without overlooking, of course, perfume and perfumers.
