Beautiful floral scent. I say "floral" and not "tuberose centric", because to my nose, tuberose and mimosa play almost equally important parts in the composition of this fragrance. It is a powdery, round, tame floral with quite a substantial nod to the past. It almost reminded me of Farnesiana by Caron, with added amber, a bit nuttier and more dense, but fitting the same audience, imo.

Élégance in a bottle.

I bought this perfume in summer (blind buy) and it was awful, i couldn't stand it on my skin. I could only smell horrible nauseating tuberose and something very animalic and repelling.

But then i tried it again during colder months and OMG i just couldn't believe that this was the same perfume. Without exaggerating, the magic happened.

Now I could smell beautiful mimosa and tuberose well blended with vanilla and amber into sweet, still lil greenish fragance. The dry down is heavenly.

It's definitely not suitable for warm or very cold weather. I guess it's the best for spring and autumn.

And it's more suitable for mature ladies and not a safe blind buy unless you know you will for sure love this combination.

She's well put together, elegant, sophisticated, dressed in white, has very elegant minimalistic jewelry and when she passes by she leaves intoxicating trail of Noix de Tuberose.
If you wanna feel elegant, very ladylike, be treated with respect, this perfume will do the work.

I’ve been on a tuberose kick recently and had miller Harris noix de tubereuse on my radar for a wee while so when I saw it for a good price on eBay I snapped it up as like a lot of perfumes I love it’s discontinued.On first spray it smelled very green and aromatic then the floral notes kicked in I smell the tuberose but it’s not as bubblegummy and as synthetic as some I’ve smelt this is a very natural tuberose with a bit of jasmine I’m also getting a powdery dusty honeyed note which I can only take as being the mimosa it’s so beautiful and well blended the vanilla is a good quality in this to very creamy and not sugary sweet I’m loving it.Will definitely be looking for a backup for my 50ml and will definitely explore more from this house

This opens with bubble-gummy tuberose and some mimosa. Not incredibly powdery at first, maybe because of the violet leaf. There's a slightly indolic facet here that makes the whole thing feel photorealistic. Overall a sugary sweet, cheery and uplifting floral that feels perfect for spring but might get cloying in extreme heat. The drydown becomes more powdery.

Disclaimer: I believe I am allergic to tuberose and I have never liked tuberose, certainly not in the 80s and 90s when I first had contact with tuberose-heavy perfumes. Tuberose causes sinus inflammation (nose pain, itch) and headache in me. But it's the 2020s and tuberose is all the rage, so of course I have been exploring my limits and pushing the boundaries of what I can wear. Entrer Noix de Tubereuse.
The allergy: I struggle for 20 mins if spayed on clothes, 10 mins if sprayed on skin. So I agree with pretty much all reviews before me stating the the heady tuberose subsides after the first minutes. It is actually wearable for me after that (I would never spray my neck though).
The scent: It smells like the 90s to me, I would not find this a tuberose with a modern twist. It reminds me of something from that time. And no, it is not vintage smelling or "classy" smelling. It is slightly retro, but not necessarily out of style. As many before me have mentioned, it gets mellow, smooth, powdery, a tad sweet and slightly floral in the dry down. For me, the lingering scent is mostly about a mimosa-amber-vanilla accord, with violet and tonka being clearly there. This is, in my opinion, yet another introspective scent by Miller Harris, it is comforting, intriguing, and something one would easily get addicted to. This is one we would wear for ourselves.
Who: I'd say the person who wears this is quite sensitive, calm, sweet, and for some reason feels a bit different from others. I want to meet this person and hug them.
Final thought: It is lovely. Simply adorable. One of those cannot-get-my-nose-out-of-it kind of scents.

Upon initial spray the tuberose immediately comes out, there is a bit of green freshness for the first 10 min or so, before it dries down to a quite mature, formal and grand amber floral. I can still detect the mimosa alongside the tuberose which gives this scent a sweet fuzziness radiance. Suitable for the colder month, both day and night, but in my opinion more suitable for more mature ladies. It is not similar to Serge Lutens' Datura Noir, as Datura Noir is much more youthful and creamy tuberose.

specialfairygirl

The very first time I used this fragrance (it was a blind buy) I instantly regretted getting it. It is not a sweet nor a girly scent. It is a statement. I would describe it as heavy, deep, green, floral, powdery.. The adjectives I would not use for this are young, playful, flamboyant.
To be honest, this perfume is quality, therefore it did grow on me and now I'm down to about half a bottle. Would I buy this again? Probably not. Would I buy it to someone as a present or as a blind buy? No. It is definitely something you should try before you buy. I imagine it to be worn by a head teacher of a religious school or the head of a Choir. I'm sorry but this is the image I associate this fragrance with. It is not bad at all, just has a lot of character and seriousness and not really suiting my style. Having said that, slowly I used up my 100 ml bottle..

I’ve always considered myself as someone who doesn’t like tuberose however recently I’ve found myself enjoying it more and more - maybe it’s just my age!?! This perfume is addictive. It has a balmy quality to it. The violets sit quietly and make it slightly powdery - but it remains rich, resinous and full bodied. I mainly pick up on tuberose and Amber. It’s a beautiful composition. I bought it this morning and have had three compliments so far today. It wafts around in the air and I find it ethereal. Really pleased with my purchase.

To my nose this fragrance really isn't about the tuberose, the tuberose is just a nuance. The opening is about the very herbal clover and the green mandarin, then as the fragrance progresses it becomes a dusty mimosa, violet, almond, tonka make up powder fragrance. The tuberose is there but not the star of the show. It is a lovely powdery fragrance that while giving a nod to old fashion powdery fragrances of old it is very wearable today. If you like mimosa (which is the floral that is the star in this one) give this one a try.

angienotesjunkie

Beautiful! I adore all stages of this amazing scent. The sweet, powdery dry down, the chorus of notes dancing in the middle but the first hour is pure heaven! ❤️ I need to exercise some serious self control to keep me from respraying 😂
This is no longer available on the MH website, so I fear it is being discontinued. Stock up while you can! I have my back-up bottle already 😊

EDIT- This bewitching potion has now made it's way onto my top shelf and every time I spray it, I fall a little deeper in love with it ❤️ My stash drawer is getting fuller!

Semiramiss

Intelligent peppery mimosa-tuberose that is difficult to grasp and intoxicating through all stages of development. Neither a bubble gum tuberose, or a deep green, wet flower (like Do Son), nor the powerhouse some claim it to be (it does not resemble Fracas or original Poison), but rather a moderately sweet and powdery, slightly boozy, ambery coconot milk vanilla tubereuse that melts into the skin and is both soft and slightly sharp. This makes wearing this perfume an intimate, fascinating experience. On the one hand this perfume feels historic, and old worldy - I am reminded of the last drops of tonics and waters left in art deco bottles from the early 20th century - on the other hand it is an adolescent that make fun of you for taking her so seriously. One of my signature scents.

I also experience a little nod to L' Heure Bleue on some days. The perfume is not similar in compostion, but the atmospheric emotion is, and maybe a few ingredients. The Guerlain is described as "a fragrance of bluish dusk and anticipation of night, before the first stars appear in the sky", this one as "a scene of sunset, laying in the fields beneath the flowers and gazing at the sky as it changes colour from orange to pink to purple."

GinaDK

Headache inducing old lady smell, that's about it. I don't smell anything but powdery florals, and not in a good way. Every time I try to give it another chance, I end up not only wanting to scrub my hand down to the bone with soap, but cut it off entirely..

Frangipanilove

This is the first Miller Harris perfume I (blind) bought and everything else has been a slight disappointment since this magnificent creation. Its a tuberose, but its a round, cognaccy, tonkay, nutty tuberose with other, top notes added into the string section in the background. Its powerful but soft, its confident but not tough - its like a beautiful piece of cake from an exquisite French patisserie and with every delicious bite you discover more hidden flavours, like a hint of mandarine. This is a perfume I would have liked to have made, it is sophisticated and unselfconscious, unordinary without pretense. Utter delight and a fragrance that deserves more recognition.

MixedTastes

This is a really interesting fragrance for someone who loves brash, bubblegum tuberose (running roughshod over ever other note it encounters!).
It opens quite green/herbal on my skin and I found that opening quite harsh and musty.

But the dry down is...beautiful! The tuberose is very soft, a touch coconutty, I definitely get the marzipan references...but it’s so demure! Maybe the most demure tuberose I’ve encountered so far. I’m also getting a distinct ‘Chanel No.5 goes on a tropical holiday’ vibes. There is something in the sweet, powdery, retro dry down that evokes that. Really charming fragrance.

Bluebirdpsyche

It’s funny, some of my most turned to fragrances are ones I initially immensely disliked.... Noix de Tubereuse is one of those. Do any of you remember those 80s Wendy’s commercials? The one with the lady examining her burger, unsatisfied, asking, “Where’s the beef?” That was me, except I was asking, “Where’s the tuberose?”

First of all, this comes out SWEET sweet, like marzipan or something. Then a hit of coconut (there’s the tuberose) powdered jasmine violets... then it dries down to a herbal floral amber vanilla.

It’s a beautiful fragrance. Pure feeling, like I crushed a bunch of violets and clover and mimosa and jasmine and tuberose I found in a field, in my hands, and rubbed myself all over. I find this to be really easy to wear. It’s a complimentary type fragrance, more of an enhancement to ones natural personal ‘fume. Longevity is decent, 6-8 hours.

Im really liking Miller Harris’s creations. Their scents have an unfeigned air about them, that I appreciate.

If you’re looking for a sweet feminine floral herbal fragrance, give this a try, it’s a keeper, but if your looking for something tuberosecentric, you might be disappointed. Tho, also try to remain open minded, you might find you fall for Noix de Tubereuse like I have.

mypetperfume

It's a gas bomb, I can't handle it. Bought 100ml as a blind buy, big mistake. It's always with you. But I've now learnt I don't like tuberose.

sofroo

I absolutely love this scent! I used to not like tuberose before, but WOW how beautiful this fume is. First it´s soft tuberose and jasmine which in dry down turns into warm vanilla and mimosa. Unfortunately, it does not last very long, not as long as I wish for, but it only becomes more beautiful with time. The scent of tonka and amber mixes nicely with the flowers. A must for tuberose lovers!

bel.gravia

One of my favourite tuberoses on the market, a bubblegum tuberose as Luca Turin has put it.
It starts off green, reminsicent of Carnal Flower by Frederic Malle but just for a brief moment. This is a tuberose at night, a strange tuberose, a rare one which blooms under the moonlight. It is a midnight garden, the sky is filled with stars, and all the flowers are asleep, the jasmine, the mimosa, the clover, it is only one intoxicating bloom that shines in the dim light. This tuberose emits the scent of warm smoky tonka beans and just a hint of vanilla. The royalty of the garden, it is sultry, unforgettable and mysterious.

Camsacci

I really wanted to like this fragrance, but my nose just won't budge. 1 spray of this and all I get is powdery mimosa and violet, to the point that I can't sense the fragrance dying down after spraying. It also reminds me of the typical scent one of my grandmothers used to wear, but I think hers came mainly from face powder and washing solely with soap. Last but not least, I'd die for some tuberose in here but can't get any out of it. Very disappointed of the effect on my skin, but hopefully it will work better for others.

klix27

I love this for its drydown only. The opening is feminine but the drydown is manly. This perfumes is really polarizingly unisex.

The blending is such a fine art. So gorgeous. The tuberose is so controlled that doesnt blast off dominantly like mainstream others. That makes men wear this. And also not animalic, who says that??? Poor nose!

Very lasting and sillage. The juice color is so tempting to see. A must have for everyone.

giteana

Animalic is a really unfortunate description here. There is nothing animalic in this beautiful perfume.
I think it may an ideal fragrance for someone that wants to experience tuberose for the first time, or for those that can't really stand when it's stronger and headier, because tuberose here is almost gently light and sweet with some powdery notes.
In the background, there is something slightly botanical as well as slightly balsamic.
Vanilla (which I usually can't stand) here is very nicely rounded and light.
Its first notes reminded me very much of almond paste and some bubblegum I used to love as a child.
Its floral part is also light and gentle.
And because I've written the word "light" several times, let me make clear that this is not a light perfume per se.
It lasts about 4 hours on me (ok not super great but not that bad either), and its sillage is not bad at all.
An extremely nice, safe and inoffensive smell.
I would prefer it on younger, romantic girls or even teenagers.

Singabera

Beginning is blast of loud white flowers, more even reminding of Tiare, then tuberose (Aloha Tiare from CSP was my first thought), which is gone in 10 min.
Then perfume develops into soft, coconut-y notes (yes, I smell definite creamy not sweet coconut here, and if you ever tried coconut soap from Lithuanian brand Ceano - that gives you exact same feeling).
I don't feel any marzipan, almond or nuts here, only slightly powdery soft coconut milk layered with silent flowery notes, which just highlight that creaminess.
Need to mention that was a blind buy for me, and I read tones of reviews before - none of them match the reality)
I have cold skin, and from my friend, who has more oily and hot one it smells more green in the beginning, but base develops similarly.

northstar

Papavero0 below gave such a perfect review that I don't have much to add. "powdery pretty marzipan tuberose" is pretty much spot on, although for me it didn't knock my socks off. It is very good though and I agree it is subtle, office friendly as some have said, but with character. I would consider it a daytime scent, but soft and full, not sunny and bright.
I really want to try L'Air de Rien. I saw mention on the CBMusk page that it is reminiscent and that got my attention since I love CBM.
For this one I don't see the comparison to SL's Datura Noir, which really did knock my socks off, but I will compare them more closely soon, I've already perfumed myself for today.

Sunlightlove222

it smells of romantic summer evenings. however too powdery. it can smell stale quite quickly.

Bry91

I'm a woman in my late twenties and blind bought this having seen it on sale. I don't know what the individual scents are (I'm a bit of a fragrance amateur) but honestly, my first thought was: granny smell. However, once it dries down there is a sweetness underneath which gives it a romantic edge, it is powdery but retains its roundness. I honestly can't tell whether I like it or hate it.

For me, this would be perfect for a quietly confident woman walking along a sea front on the French Riviera at sunset or on a wine tasting tour in Tuscany wearing a floral dress or clean neutrals (think cream cigarette trousers with a silk top). I would argue that it is perhaps more suited to women in their forties and above; it is definitely a mature scent, a bit too much so for me, unfortunately. I also asked my brother who said it's 'more of a mum smell'; my mother is sixty and very 'mumsy' but it is also a classy smell which is very clean. It does quieten down a lot after an hour or so.

Sorry if my review is not helpful in terms of what the perfume smells like but I'm trying to give the kind of review (whether or not it would suit me) I would like to have read before blind buying :) . I'm not getting the nutty smell other reviews have spoken of but that may just be my body chemistry with this fragrance.

Eugenia Olesen

The tuberose here is splendid, gentle and elegant. Charming ambery sweet scent. Nothing really more to add - perfection. The frag has a moderate sillage, which makes it a nice office scent.

Papavero0

Miller Harris, what exquisite quality! For someone that is very careful with tuberose this just blew my socks off. It is so very uplifting, youthful, optimistic...I tried for the first time this house over a month ago. Started with l'Air de rien and Figue amere and realized there is quality here, nice natural scents, but with character. Today I managed to sample the citruses and noix de tuberose and I can now honestly have a more round opinion on this brand: they are serious and definitely have my attention. Thank you Miller Harris for making me excited about fragrance again!
Noix de Tuberose itself: powdery pretty marzipan tuberose. I suppose it's a tuberose for tuberose-reluctant folk, perhaps not the narcotic fleshy type that I -suppose- lovers of tuberose usually seek. This is for a romantic disposition, carefree girls out on a picnic on the grass, blowing dandelions around just because :)

Bubbles1964

A powdery, sweet tuberose and mimosa scent with very good performance. Underneath the dominant notes I pick up something herbal, thinking that Is the violet leaf and clover. This is not a linear scent: powdery top notes burn off then enters the long lasting “vanilla in a meadow” drydown. Amber enters the mix, helping mellow out the heady florals.

This one leans retro and feminine. Lyn Harris is a magician with making synthetic notes smell natural.

Edit 05.13.20
I like this but decided to let it go as I seldom wear it.

phurstclass

If you want to be enveloped in a creamy vanilla marshmallow fragrance this is for you. It will make you feel wonderful all day, people will beg you to tell them what it is, and your confidence will blossom.


It's not cheap but really top quality never is.

smellslovely

Reading reviews on here proves that perfumes are polarising and perfumes are subjective. This was a blind buy. TKMaxx 3x9ml for £20.00 was a no brainer..... OMG what a blind buy. This perfume is exquisite. So happy that I ignored the bad comments. I will definitely buy a full size bottle, I’m in love with this perfume, don’t be scared of a blind buy

AnlisaC

Love Tuberose this is not the kind of Tuberose I like, it’s cold green powdery Tuberose. Not my cup of tea! Sold it.

Perfume Peg

I blind bought this a) because it was on offer and b) because I am a huge fan of tuberose. Unfortunately it was more of a damp squib than a hidden gem. Initially there is an overwhelming powdery take on almonds and this never really disperses. As time progresses you do get a hint of white flowers if you sniff your wrist but unfortunately it’s just a generic white floral. I get no tuberose whatsoever and even in a subtle form tuberose is a flower that likes to announce itself. Longevity doesn’t seem particularly good and as time progresses you still just get the powdery almond note but at this stage it has turned into a skin scent . I am puzzled by so many good reviews so as I wore this on a summer’s day I will put it away until the colder weather to see if that makes a difference.

Polyanthes

A fun and slightly nutty (pun intended) take on tuberose. Is no one else getting nuts? A bit of almond, marzipan and macarons? This is heading into yum-yum-ti-tum gourmand territory, I want to eat it rather than wear it.
Powder puff sugar on creamy heliotrope (not listed but I'm getting it, must be the mimosa) and sugared almonds ensconce a pillowy, substantial tuberose. Tonka stonker - yes, powdered violet - yes, honeyed clover, yes and dusty pollen laden mimosa making this a crazy, fun, nutty sweet composition that seems to be about a scrumptious edible tuberose.
Posh sweeties for grown up kids. Layers of dusty pink fluffy chiffon. A birthday party perfume.
For those looking for a Tuberose soliflore, this is not the place to go, better to come at this from liking playful, powdery, sweet and comfortable compositions.
Noix de Tuberose wafts and radiates beautifully in my personal space and keeps partying on my skin long past my bedtime.
A fitting image for this perfume is Hermione Granger in that fabulous pink floaty, frilly dress at the Yule ball, she is having a wonderful, head-spinner of a time but is a bit out of her depth and it all ends in tears. But it's going to be ok because her friends are for real.
I know it's classified as a floral oriental/amber floral, but I smell this as a very good and interesting floral gourmand, contemporary, but with a classic feel to it.
Sillage is moderate/good and longevity great on my skin.

Edit: I wore this out on a really chilly January day and it showed itself to be less edible sweet and more floral - soft, rich, creamy tuberose powdered with almond-like heliotrope and mimosa - I really enjoyed it, very comforting, friendly and easy to wear.

Edit: I'm addicted - This has become my number 1 for a powder fix - just lovely in chilly weather, I think it will also be wonderful in the Spring - full bottle worthy.

cranky137

I am so dissapointed in this!! I read reviews and was hoping to get a soft but potent tuberose. This is however, a 60+ ladies tuberose, the one you would expect worn by a mature woman in a Russian theatre. Definitely night wear. I do not see a young woman wearing this. So not Miller Harris signature...

Just very heavy syrapy dried tuberose. Longevity 4+ h. Moderare sillage.

DO NOT BLIND BUY THIS

shushkin

LOVE THIS! It is more potent than the average MH and there is no harm in that. It is so rich and maybe a touch vintage. I cant say I think of old ladies when I wear this. This is the fragrance of a woman who knows what she is about and when she walks into a room full of people gets noticed for all the right reasons. Her confidence, her stylishness and uniqueness.
It is curious how I keep detecting coconut along with the rich buttery tuberose. I suspect its the combination of the tuberose, tonka and mimosa. Tonka has a definite soft edible sweetness. I am very sensitive to the normally strong tuberose note but this has not induced a migraine.
The resins give a warmth, the clover a delicate honeyed sweetness. The orris and violet cool and calm everything so it does not screech.
This is definitely a fragrance for night wear. Good longevity and moderate silage.

rutakvepalai

It was blind buy after reading about it... I was not happy.
But after half of year I changed my mind. Very good perfume. As maybe all from Miller Harris. I became big admire of this house.
Strong at first, but lovely after. Good staying power near the skin. At first spray looks very aromatic, but then becomes warm and soft floral. Very feminine and rich. I can't separate notes - they are so well mixed together.
No synthetic notes. Perfect.

Angeldaisy

Sugar dusted powdery violets, bubble gum and clover honey.

i ve tested this and i don't know whether it has been reformulated or what, but i get the total opposite to those main notes voted above = tuberose up top with violets in equal measure. drying down to to violet, orris, amber, clover combo.

She's the daughter of l'air de rien skipping past flowering shrubs, on her way home from school.

someone mentioned Songes. i happen to be wearing Songes on my other arm.
NDT is a lilac coloured powder stuck to resinous clover honey, whereas Songes is a big golden nectar dripping from a honey bee's bum, who is face down in a jasmine flower....

might i add, this is a rather beautiful perfume.
P.S. first few seconds marzipan!

epicurean

I appreciate Noix de Tubereuse; it's a contemplative tuberose, complemented by soft, sweet, romantic notes. However, it's not for me because of the stonking amount of tonka bean in it. I just know that wearing this would get on my nerves after about an hour. If you like tuberose, I would definitely try it.

ScarlettX

A strong, but good smelling floral scent with tonka bean and tuberose. A few hours ago, the violet was also there.
It's powdery, warm and rich smelling.
Quite good scent by Miller Harris, most of their fragrances are too masculine, but this one is fine.

Henriette

Luca Turin describes this perfume as "bubblegum tuberose" and for me this definition is not appropriate at all.
Noix de Tubereuse on my skin develops into a beautiful powdery, melancholic tuberose.
We are far from the creamy beauty of Fracas, far from the opulence of Carnal Flower, far from the greenness of Maitre Gantier et Parfumeur Tubereuse.
I love Miller Harris's style, she is a master in achieving feelings and sensations as if she had a paintbrush and a colourful palette of watercolours.
Watercolours on rice paper, not oil on canvas.
Her touch is light but not banal, her strokes are gentle, never harsh.
The tuberose here is accompanied by a lovely mimosa that does not want to steal the show but denies a role behind the scenes.
Same for the violet.
The two modest, shy flowers, accompany the queen on her path, never leaving her, never a step behind but side by side.
The result is stunning.
The tuberose is made less opulent in gaining softness, gentleness and the mimosa and the violet gain importance with such a royal companion.
I would suggest this scent to all who say that they cannot wear tuberose, for those who find Fracas either too strong or too sweet.
Noix de Tubereuse is not worse or better, it's different and for me, just like Fracas, it's
WONDERFUL

Lowehetar

At first, there is a blast of powdery - sweet violet and very noticeable mimosa. However, mimosa dyes pretty soon (which is fortunate, as on my skin it is always a bit soapy) and the heady tuberose starts to come through. There is a warmth underneath the tuberose, which must be the resins.

I truly like this scent! I always say that florals are not for me but this one, being a fully blown floral, is an exception. (even I am willing to admit that this is a floral scent) I love the progression on my skin. My chemistry just loves violet, and tuberose. As a scent this is much lighter and brighter than my usual go-to perfumes, but at the same time there is this comforting side to this potion that I really like.
The cold season is almost here and this tuberose-filled scent plays beautifully on my skin. The only minus is the longevity: after 2 or so hours this scent becomes a true skin scent and then just evaporates away... but it is a beautiful scent, as long as it lasts.

yukaori

so beautiful scent !!! pure clean tuberose

mudpach

I had a bottle, and I don't like it, it's too syntetic to me.

Shimoldeam

I don't usually say that a fragrance paints a picture, but on first spray and throughout, this evolves an image of a sultry 1940s femme fatale sitting in a dimly lit corner of a smoky bar - almost a Jessica Rabbit sort of thing! It is powdery and floral and the very best sort of classic vintage, with just enough sting to make it incredibly sexy. My partner goes nuts on this, my secret weapon! And as usual with Miller Harris, it has incredible staying power.

Ivanqa

So gorgeous.. I was looking for you and now I found you. To me, tuberose and mimosa are prominent in a pleasant combination with the clover. Warm, feminine, enticing. The perfect autumn scent :).

SabrinaUK

Nobody else feel it has fig in it? And very obvious fig . Stunningly beautiful! My absolute can't do without!

katemax

to me its very powdery and sweet, not much else. I use it lightly and it softens into a sweet powdery pleasant smell that I will save for colder weather. its by far not my favourite but I don't dislike it either

sleepy*weasel

An initially heady tuberose, not very sweet, with an underpinning of violet. It becomes a little soapy-generic for me, I prefer Divine Divine or one of the dirtier tuberose scents such as Tubereuse 3. This one is faintly exotic - a very tiny bit of a coconut edge to it - and dries down to a skin scent not out of place on your beach holiday. I won't buy a FB, as given a choice I'd wear other tuberose scents. Have to agree with Luca when he says "of no great interest" but it's pleasant, inoffensive and office-friendly.

It's soapy and powdery on my skin... maybe it's the mimosa-tonka-violet combo? Anyway, I can see some similarities with Vanderbilt by Gloria Vanderbilt (minus the aldeydhes)! So I like it very much, even if I'm not a big tuberose fan!

Mooniq

A lovely Tubereuse-scent but I sneeze when I sprey on my skin. first thing I thougt of is - this reminds me very much of Madonna's Truth or Dare - another very strong scent with Tubereuse and Gardenia.

En härlig Tubereuse-doft men jag nyser när jag sprejar på mig denna på huden. Det första som jag tänker på är - den påminner mycket om Madonna's Truth or Dare - en annan stark parfym med mycket Tubereuse och Gardenia.

I've only worn this once so far so I'll comment further later, but WOW is this indolic!! It's juuuust this side of super-skanky to where I can still wear it. Also that does cool down a bit as it dries down (maybe 45 mins). I get quite a bit of vintage powdery amber in this as well, but as a background to the SUPER blast of heady indolic tuberose. I don't seem to be smelling the same fragrance that others are reviewing here? Granted, I'm writing from memory so will come give it a better update but this much I'm sure of because it'd be difficult to forget. Powerful juice on me at least.

Challenging, intriguing, heady; will give it time to grow on me!

The tuberose is not as overwhelming as I thought it would be which is a good thing. I get more of a Tonka/amber feel with a touch of tuberose. Totally unisex IMO. I am happy with my decant. It's sorta like a Kilian scent with the projection being minimal but it lingers beyond 6 hours.

Beautiful, sweet and bright (yellow) floral with an "almost gourmand" twist. Linear and straightforward. I cannot affirm animalic reference, but there's a certain soapiness. The leading trio (tuberose- mimosa-tonka) makes it very feminine and quite unforgettable, but beware - the key thing here is not to overspray - otherwise it may become overwhelming and headache-inducing (killer sillage and lasting power).

A great variation on Songes. Where Songes is a bit more fresh and green, this is a bit more sweet and gourmand, but really just a bit. The ylang kind of covers all of that ground in both (even if ylang is not listed in the notes here). I wouldn't need to own both at once, but a mini or a decant of Noix de Tubereuse would make a nice replacement for Songes when that gets used up.

This is a lovely pink floral (yep pink not white) with lipstick scent drydown.

I bought this on a whim at Heathrow last year. I was looking for a floral frag and the SA showed me this one and said it was top choice for many brides. The gullible, single me thought this was a good omen and the sale was made.

It didn't take long for me to experience it and develop headaches and bad moods. The perfume was all wrong for me. Too mature, too strong. A perfect Granny perfume, in fact I gave it to my grandmother and she loved it.

A year passed and I completely forgot about it.. until my granny came to visit. I love my granny but I despise the perfume. She bathes in it and the smell has taken over my house. It is really awful.

I thought I loved tuberose, because I love Carnal Flower, but I discovered I hate this perfume and Fracas doesn't work for me either. No offense, maybe it just doesn't work on my family genes!

Right after a bath I'm very picky about which perfume to put on because I know that I won't be bathing for at least a day. I rarely try a completely unknown entity upon surfacing from the tub. No, mystery scents are best tested with an abundance of bubbles on the horizon!

I've been noticing that I gravitate more and more toward a cluster of truly dependable houses when post-bath perfuming time arrives, and Miller Harris is one of them. I know that I can count on whatever I wear from this house to smell natural and appealing rather than synthetic and scary. Tonight I have donned NOIX DE TUBEREUSE and reaffirmed my love both for this scent and for this house.

NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is a fresh and natural-smelling tuberose with a clarity I've found lacking in some other niche tuberose soliflores. Nothing here is vague or thick or artificial smelling. The tuberose is slightly green and not that sweet, perhaps because of the clover and the iris? The composition also boasts mimosa, in addition to amber and fig, but mostly this is a fresh bouquet of tuberose.

Nothing like FRACAS (which I also love, but for other reasons), NOIX DE TUBEREUSE might lie a bit closer to CARNAL FLOWER (of which I am not however very fond). I feel that I'm in the midst of a bunch of fresh-cut tuberose, with the stems still attached to the petals. I've seen fields of lavender. Are their fields of tuberose? NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is just that to me.

A perfect post-bath and pre-bedtime choice for tuberose lovers!

My first grown up perfume purchase of the year & I like it! I was a bit unsure about it at first, due to a disconcerting powdery top note which reminded me of baby's nappies. I momentarily thought I had made the wrong expensive choice! This disappeared very quickly & aged rather pleasantly on me. I'd describe it is pleasingly soft, pillowy & elegant :)

This opens and goes on perfectly on me, it is a full/rich tuberose followed by sweet and green mimosa, which usually does not work on me, but here it plays a lovely role.
I do think that this is similar to Fracas, but let's be honest - it doesn't. In Fracas the tuberose is loud and majestic, here it is more creamy and tropical, more suitable for everyday wear.
I actually love this, it smells lovely on me, none of the Miller Harris perfumes I've tried before I've enjoyed, but this is very nice.
9/10

I seem to love tuberose scents and they seem to love me lol. This seems to last and last and last, very comforting, smells a bit fluffy and pink if you know what I mean but in a nice way lol

missymary

After Si Lolita this is the poorest thinnest perfume that I have ever had. It opens with a lemon soapy note that instantly fades into a wee faint whimper of de-natured tuberose. How can any tuberose be this pathetic? Unless my sample from Posh Peasant is somehow faulty, it's a rip-off. Boo hiss!

Hello, all. I am looking for a new perfume. I think I may like Channel Gardenia (fav. flower), but I really do not want to purchase or use a product with musk. The beautiful musk deer are killed for just the two glands in their bodies that humans desire. Makes me sick. Anyway, can anyone suggest a scent for me? I wore for many years Tea Rose by Perfumer's Workshop - but that seems a little sophomoric now. I loved the first scent that Kate Spade put out; I don't know why she would ever stop that one! Anyone?

this is the best tuberose frag i have smelled so far.I want it sooooo bad!!!

Massively heady, which isn't a bad thing for me, but good lord it takes a long time to develop into something I would actually be happy to wear.

The overwhelming top notes of Tuberose & mimosa are rendered just this side of sickly by the powdery violet. The general effect is that of opening a packet of Loveheart sweets - sherbety, fizzy and nose-tingling. This only continues to fizz on the skin and became almost unbearably cloying for me - I was at the stage of cursing myself for ever having sprayed it - but ever one to give perfumes a chance, I resisted the gnawing urge to reach for the scrubbing brush and present myself at the village pump, thus to cleanse myself of the noxious violet (I don't do well with most violet perfumes, as you may have been able to discern!)

Perhaps another couple of hours passed in this manner, until, suddenly, I couldn't smell the sweetness anymore. It was replaced by a rather nice musky creaminess with a slight nutty dryness that mixed well with the resin. Hang on a minute! I like this! Ah. Well. Not quite. This stage lasted approximately 10 minutes, then disappeared altogether. If the drydown alone could be bottled & the staying power of that increased, I'd buy it in the blink of an eye. As it stands, I didn't want to buy it even though it was in the half-price sale bin. Not a keeper for me, I'm afraid.

I'd suggest that people who adore tuberose might like to try this after all - I am not a tuberose lover by any means, so it's hardly a fair evaluation. I do like to think I can stand back and calmly assess fragrances I don't happen to be keen on but which are obviously very well done of their kind, though. I just think there's likely to be a better tuberose out there for you.
