Splendida Tubereuse Mystique

I'm obsessed. I've not smelled tuberose done like the real flower on the stem before. The devana keeps it from going the super sweet bubblegum baby l'inderit, my way, scandal, woman, direction. So you're getting a fresh out of the garden tuberose with the most feminine level of spice from the myrrh as opposed to extremely spicy fragrances that smell like they're for men (Khamrah, for instance). And the vanilla absolute rounds it off smelling so sweetly slightly spicy and elegant. I just got it/wore it today, and I know fragrances tend to change over time and I can't wait to see what this beauty does. I have so many oriental vanillas and oriental this or that's that kind of all smell the same (jasmines, orange blossoms, vanilla) so I've been branching out looking for fragrances with notes I don't have in my collection already such as devana and myrrh and believe it or not I haven't had a decent tuberose since Ralph Lauren dc'd Blue for women (when you had the 2005 original, the reformulation will only make you miss the old formula). I love love love this perfume and it's long lasting, good sillage and such a great price on Perfume Empire, too! 🥰 I used to attend mass every Sunday as a kid, and the priest would kick it off by walking down the aisle with an incense burner swinging with myrrh. Tuberose was and is considered so sexy that during certain periods throughout history in Europe and Asia unmarried women were forbidden from walking through the tuberose gardens after dusk! So it's got the elegance of such a beautiful spice as myrrh and the sexiness of a tuberose fresh on the vine rounded off with vanilla. My husband is obsessed. He LOVES this one. This is my first Bvlgari and I'm sorry to have been sleeping on them for so long, I usually tend to give all my attention to French perfume houses and missing out in Italy! Gonna try more! If you're into the whole occasion, time and season for perfumes thing, this is a night time fragrance for a date with a man you want to marry, or a rooftop party at the nost expensive hotel in town. It's shining in the middle of June and I'm sure it'll be just as good in December. If it's too strong then spray less. If that's too strong spray it in the air in front of you and walk through it. That way no fragrance is ever too strong but, unfortunately, can be too weak and all you can do is hope it oxidizes stronger. This one has excellent performance though. Anyway beautiful bottle too. Looks like a big sapphire sitting on my vanity. 💙

Bvlgari Tubereuse Mystique is, to my nose, an absolutely gorgeous interpretation of tuberose! A couple of reviewers characterize it as a "green vanilla floral" in the same category as Dior Addict or Angelique Noir (Jennswen and Jwdp) and I can totally see what they mean. It's definitely NOT your mom's or grandma's classic, very green, naturalistic tuberose a la Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, or Robert Piguet Fracas. Rather, it's vanillic, yet slightly green, a tuberose with both a creamy, latte quality (as Eddie Bulilqi put it) along with the dusty, incense of myrrh. It's strong without being utterly overpowering, or linear (as is Ralph Lauren Woman Intense, for example, another sweet vanilla tuberose), and you only need 2-4 sprays and you're good (and I'm typically an oversprayer). It's quite long-lasting, enveloping me in a lovely scent bubble for 6 or 7 hours, though I did spray again, halfway through the day, to prolong the beauty. I think it would be good year round, actually, because while strong, it's not overwhelming or TOO sweet or cloying; the tuberose greenness tempers the vanilla and the dusty myrrh prevents it from going syrupy. It's really beautifully balanced. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous, addictive , deep and sexy. It’s comforting and alluring at the same time. Great date night fragrance. Feels bold and confident. One of the best underrated gems out there . If you love tuberose it’s a must. It’s more indolic than it is bubble gummy. My husband loves this one me and insisted I purchase the 3.4 ounce ASAP since I was running low on my current 1.7 oz. He said don’t wait until you run out buy it right away. He insisted I always keep this one in my fragrance collection. There is something carnal about this scent that makes someone want to come closer. Grown vibes only. Can purchase on deep discount online. This is my reminder that we don’t have to spend a lot to smell irresistible. This one makes me want to explore older releases that I haven’t explored at affordable prices. The black current adds a touch a sweetness without being cloying. The myrrh adds the intrigue and lends to the sensuality of the tuberose. I blind bought this based on the notes sounding appealing and was not disappointed. I grew to love this more and more with every wear. The fall season is perfect for this scent profile. The bottle is also quite beautiful.

So many adjectives used to describe this perfume, but it's really just a nice, smooth, easy to wear tuberose. Lots of vanilla, tuberose and, eventually, a nice hint of myrrh.. The top notes wear off to my sense of smell in seconds, except the davana. It's coming off as a sweet, green note in the background, instead of its usual bitter-ish tang, giving it depth. I'm especially aware of black current & I don't smell it here unless it's giving the syrupy sweet to the davana. This definitely gets better as it sits a few months. A designer scent without a lot of bells and whistles but very wearable because of it. It really pulls its weight if you want a tuberose/vanilla with a hint of sweet spice. Love the dark blue glass bottle, the lid is topped with a heavy dark blue ceramic disc with the Bvlgari name circling. Excellent price for the quality. Funny, I wrote a long review for a perfume that I thought was "just" a simple tuberose. :)

This was a blind buy for me based on the fact that I knew it would be different than any other tuberose scent that I own. This is almost as unique as miller Harris noix de tubereuse. Bitter opening. Sharp black currant jelly combined w a tonic made w pungent herbs. It has a refreshing cleansing effect on my olfactory senses. Strange but still pleasing. As the perfume develops it becomes a bit more lactonic w ylang coconut and tuberose. There something of a latte effect here as if the davana combined w the black currant was coffee or a bitter tea and the floral notes were cream and the vanilla was sugar. The dry down has a bit of dusty and ancient myrrh to add mystery. I wish it was more pronounced but this is a mass market offering and so the composition must keep its sweetness. All and all the above accords to my nose are correct. This is a complex perfume. Very interesting while remaining familiar and wearable for everyday.
