Perris Tubereuse Absolue Eau de Parfum - 50 ml

PERRIS MONTECARLO Tubereuse Absolue EDP 50 ml Tuberose is a New World plant cultivated in Central America by the Aztecs and pre-Columbian peoples, who called it Omixochitl, meaning flower of bones, a reference to its long white blossoms. It was one of the first plants imported from America to the Old Continent, brought to France by a missionary in... morethe first half of the sixteenth century. An ambiguous flower with differing meanings: for the Aztecs, a remedy for the fatigue of travellers; in Victorian England, considered an ill omen because it was used to decorate tombs. While in France and India, young women were said not to breathe in the voluptuous fragrance of tuberose at night, as it was thought capable of inspiring forbidden thoughts and inappropriate sexual acts. Tuberose is a white night-blooming flower; its petals are fragile, fleshy, waxen, and possess a powerful, intoxicating aroma. Cultivated chiefly in Egypt, Morocco, Martinique, and India, its flowers are harvested while still in bud. In the world of perfumery it is often considered a controversial note, yet many adore its exuberant qualities. The tuberose accord can be rendered clean or creamy to satisfy consumer tastes, but the true beauty of this flower lies in quite different characteristics. It is dark, voluptuous, and carnal; its smoky nuances evoke the intoxicating scent of camphor. Tuberose absolute, a rare jewel in the world of perfumery, is known as la belle dame sans merci, a cunning and shadowy creature of the night, a romantic and merciless beauty that ignites passion and will ultimately break your heart. Unlike the rose, which embodies a pure celestial elegance.
