Tuberóza Nishane

The initial assault is pure floral sweetness—ylang ylang's custard-like richness crashes immediately against orange blossom's waxy brightness, whilst mugwort scratches a verdant note across the proceedings. The orange provides citrus snap, but it's wholly subsumed within two minutes beneath the onslaught of approaching florals. You're immediately aware this isn't a delicate composition; this is tuberose announcing itself with considerable authority.

By the first hour, the tuberose fully emerges—dense, creamy, almost meaty in its floral intensity—flanked by the cooler, almost mentholated greenness of gardenia and the warmer, honey-tinged sweetness of jasmine. Tagetes contributes a subtle spice-tinged earthiness that prevents the florals from becoming entirely abstract. This phase settles into a remarkably stable plateau, the 76% creamy accord creating an almost skin-like quality; the fragrance becomes less about projection and more about an intimate, immersive cloud of white florals.

As the fragrance stretches toward the fourth hour, the base emerges with quiet authority—sandalwood brings a faintly woody, almost pencil-shaving dryness that contrasts beautifully with lingering tuberose sweetness, whilst musk adds a skin-scent sensuality and amberwood contributes golden warmth. The vetiver contributes only minimal earthiness at this stage; instead, you're left with a powdery, slightly amber-tinged skin scent that smells like expensive botanical soap infused with white florals and subtle wood smoke.
