TUBEROSE
Tuberose is an intensely powerful, heady, and intoxicating white floral note with a rich, narcotic, and almost animalic quality. It has a complex scent profile that is simultaneously sweet, creamy, green, and slightly buttery, with pronounced indolic characteristics that give it a deep, sensual, and almost carnal intensity.
Origin & Extraction
Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is a night-blooming perennial plant native to Mexico. The essential oil is typically extracted through solvent extraction or enfleurage, a traditional method where flower petals are pressed into fat to capture their fragrance. The most prized tuberose comes from India, particularly regions like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
