Spotlight On…. Tuberose

There’s no note in perfumery as sensual and beguiling as the heady scent of tuberose. Like its fragrant cousins gardenia and jasmine, tuberose belongs to the indolent family of notes: white flowers with rich, enveloping fragrances that convey an aura of femininity and sensuality. Such was the power of the note that staid Victorian society forbad young girls from smelling or wearing the flower, fearful of its seductive, corrupting influence. Native to Central America, Tuberose’s spiky clusters of waxy white flowers were first introduced to the world of European perfumery by returning missionaries, where it quickly became a staple of the richest, grandest fragrances. Often described as a creamy and carnal, it’s the warmest and most tropical-smelling of all the white flowers, leaving a rich and sultry veil of scent in its wearers’ wake. We’ve rounded up four of our favorite fragrances that spotlight tuberose in all its glory…

Robert Piguet Fracas

The queen of tuberose fragrances and the one which all others are judged, this vintage classic is a masterpiece of lush white florals. Tuberose, gardenia and orange blossom mingle with notes of bright bergamot and soft musk, creating a fragrance fit for a diva.

Michael by Michael Kors

A creamy Va-va-voom tuberose mingles with lily, cashmere woods and a twist of tart tamarind for smooth, tropical-feeling fragrance that’s full of warmth in this Michael Kor's perfume.

Madonna Truth or Dare

The queen of pop took inspiration from her beloved Fracas to create a lighter, more modern take on the classic white floral. Notes of indolent tuberose, gardenia and jasmine dry down in to a delicious gourmand note of carmelized amber, resulting in Truth or Dare perfume.

Prada Infusion d’Tubereuse

Subtle and soft, Prada tempers the heady scent of tuberose with a crisp, green edge, using petitgrain and blood orange to create a sheer and uplifting take on the classic note.

Just like candy, honey is a sweet flavor we savor. It’s also celebrated for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties and is a popular ingredient in products made for every inch of your body. From your head to your toes, a hint of honey goes a long way for softening skin, making strands silky, and adding indulgence to a spritz of perfume created to captivate. So here’s a spoonful of some choice selections featuring heavenly honey.

Luscious locks are easy to achieve with a few honey-infused favorites. First, you can keep your color rocking a ravishing hue with Rusk Sensories Brilliance Grapefruit and Honey Color Protect Shampoo. Next, you can maintain a marvelous mane with Lanza Healing Strength CP Manuka Honey Conditioner.

For supple skin all over, start with a relaxing and revitalizing shower and envelope yourself in Sensory Fusion Honey Papaya Foaming Body Wash with Shea Butter by Aromafloria. Afterwards, you can absorb miraculous moisture all over by indulging in Marc Jacobs Honey Body Lotion.

To experience extreme relaxation, you could also opt for Deep Steep Brown Sugar-Vanilla Organic Honey Bubble Bath and then smooth your skin by soothing it with Orange Honey Blossom Aromatherapy Rejuvenating Therapeutic Massage Oil.

Enticing aromas of honey also make for a delicious fragrance that warms the heart and the soul especially when combined with the uplifting scents of Amalfi lemon, pineapple, passion fruit, freesia, and ginger – all of which are found in Lollipop Bling Honey Eau de Parfum Spray by Mariah Carey.
