Tubereuse Couture 17

An interesting interpretation of sweet, somehow beachy tuberose. The opening is green and minty, but also sweet and floral. This is a sugared, slightly bubblegummy tuberose, blended with green jasmine. What really shines in this fragrance is the benzoin and brown sugar in the base. They come together as such a rich, warm, creamy, balmy duo, almost like caramel and just very beautiful mixed with the white florals. Some other sites list a vegetal ash accord (accord cendré végétal), it's not on the official PG site and not on fragrantica, but I can smell it regardless. It gives the fragrance a cold, ashy, kind of dusty edge. On the one hand it's an interesting addition, but on the other hand I would honestly like the fragrance better if it wasn't there. I generally prefer creamy over dry textures in fragrances, so this aspect of the composition seems unharmonic to my nose. And I think this wouldn't have been boring without the ashy note either. Tubereuse Couture still a good fragrance that blends balsamic and floral aspects seamlessly, it's just not for me.

First sniff: " Oh this is amazing" . A day after I was already in love. I really don't know how the indian tuberose smells, but to me this is a pure lime (linden )blossom which reminds me of my granmother's house in my childhood and the amazing linden tea that she was making every single day to me and my sister. Yesterday I was wearing PG17 and I was having a "rendez vous" with my sis. When I was next to her, she told me " What are you wearing? You smell like a linden blossom. It' s beautiful". So, all of you in love with this aroma go for it! I am completely in love!

I have a bottle, from a few years ago, I bought it one summer, because I was surprised how it worked for me, unlike usual, I didn't feel it on my skin, but around it, with fresh whiff of jasmine, tuberose, and that synthetic note green, sweet and fresh. unfortunately I got bored after a while, I layered it with Moon boom, or with Neroli Oranger from Matiere Premiere, until I had to admit for the thousandth time that the wrong notes can't be covered by adding other notes, they're still there, and that sugary note cloyed me, I can't stand her. I don't think I can use it again, and this teaches me the lesson to be careful with synthetic, abstract, hypnotic and irresistible molecules. With natural fragrances the opposite happens to me, every time I love my Moon Bloom more and more

Sugar and fresh horse dung.

PG17 is the soft creamy tuberose with the hint of strawberry. It’s playful and gorgeous at the same time. The sillage and longevity of this fragrance is outstanding! It stays for very long time on my fingers even when I just touch the bottle for a few seconds. Tubereuse Couture is one of the best tuberoses in niche perfumery. It’s very natural but without sharp and bitter green notes in it. PG17 has a very special meaning for me. I wore it the day I make up with the man I love after the long time being apart. To me Tubereuse Couture means love and happiness. That’s why I wear it today.
