Dominique Ropion's take on a tuberose soliflore opens
green and camphorous. Exaggerated yet avoiding all-out caricature, the cooling top
notes contrapose the heavy, complex heart that,
faithful to tuberose's character, has jasmine-, lily- and orange blossom-like
facets. Sweet, coconuty lactones meanwhile, lend the bouquet its characteristic
creaminess and contribute to an overall tropical vibe. More sultry than carnal, it is nevertheless a glorious example of perfumery in the grand style.
