Carlina Herrera: Herrera Tuberose
Discovered this on one of my fragrance hunts and I thoroughly admired the smell. I have now come to realise I have a soft spot for the note and that its a frequent culprit in many of my treasured scents. The connection was henceforth unsurprising. I sprayed so much of this stuff that the attendant had to chase me away by giving me a mini tester.
It's a soft and summery scent, heavily represented by tuberose but with subtle woody accords. Some will argue its more feminine but I could see this pulled off on a warm, sunny summer day by an absolute gentleman. You certainly would get you compliments. However, at £230 for a 100ml bottle (£2.30/ml) its no where economically worth it for a soft scent. No matter how much I like the smell. If I source it at a 50% discount, then we would be in business.
Notes: Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Vanilla
