Behind a fruity veil of pear, spiced with a pinch of red berries, a tuberose reveals itself slowly, with a surprising lack of pretence. Becoming creamier as hours pass, it fills out a welcoming corsage of cedar, amber and a hint of musk.
In 1937, Paul Vacher signed a floral trilogy, in which Tubéreuse found its place between the very chic Iris and the terribly suave Jasmin. Tubéreuse, forerunner to many fragrances around the same theme, was tinted with a hyper-feminine touch, which fitted Le Galion’s signature perfectly; keeping up to their standard even in a troubled decade.

Top Notes: Mandarin, galbanum, pink berr, and pear
Heart Notes: Tuberose, rose, orange blossom, and raspberry
« In perfumery, the tuberose note is often used in an attention-grabbing way, to great effect. This one truly carries Le Galion’s DNA, at once very chic and capable of holding back. The pear and raspberry accord brings a fruity facet, before things take a floral turn with the rose and orange blossom, whose nuances support the tuberose. Meanwhile, the musk wraps everything up in the base notes. »
