Velvet Tuberose (for women)

Aredore

This is a very strong and sweet Tuberose scent. It was like a mixture of a dark vanilla and woods base, with a strong, honeyed tuberose scent on top.

One spray lasted a very, very long time - hours and hours. It is marketed as a "romantic" scent, but I found the scent so overwhelmingly sweet that it was nearly unwearable. I see this more interfering with a romantic mood than adding to it.

This tuberose is not for me.

I'm sure it makes a lovely body cream or shower gel. (Or even scented candle. B&BW should look into a candle line featuring their scents.)

I spent my childhood in the Avon scents my grandmother bought me, my teen and young-adult years in drugstore perfumes like Emeraude and Navy and Aspen for Women, and my thirties in the light floral scents my husband bought - True Love, VS Pink, BBW Freesia. I'd always thought, you see, that perfume was nice, but spending money on it was completely unnecessary.

Velvet Tuberose was the fragrance that dragged me headlong into perfume interest. I'd gone to BBW to pick up some Aromatherapy Lavender & Vanilla lotion for my sister's birthday, and was walking around, desultorily sniffing things. Before I knew it, Velvet Tuberose had grabbed me by the arm and shoved me to the cash register, shrieking "BUY ME!" (I had to go back for the Lavender Vanilla.)

The very next week, I was on the internet looking for perfume reviews, thinking, this is great but there has to be more out there! And my new hobby was born.

This is a cheap scent - I got my 50 ml bottle for $19 on sale -- and now that I've smelled some classic stuff and niche fragrances, I can tell how synthetic it is. At the same time, it still smells wonderful to me - I love dense, heady, voluptuous tuberose! - and I find its woody base very comforting. This is one of the perfumes that I always seem to get compliments on.

This is a BIG voluptuous floral, not for you unless you are a serious floral lover. I love Tuberose, so I ordered this without testing first.

I'm very pleased, although it is much more complex that just tuberose.

I agree with other reviewers who said this smells much more expensive than BBW. Beautiful!

Wow. I bought this 'blind', having no clue what I was getting myself into, but having had previous scents with tuberose and loved them, I thought I'd go for it. [My favourite is Tuberosa by Fresh -discontinued, of course!] There's a whole lotta floral to this one! If you are not used to florals, you may be in for a little bit of a shock. However, if you stick it out, really let yourself experience the changes the scent makes while it settles, you might just be pleasantly surprised. It's a heavy floral compared to the ones I've already tried, but it doesn't have the 'ewww' factor (like a funeral arrangement) and doesn't end up smelling like a stale bouquet of flowers in an algae infested vase like some other brands do. I like it because it makes me feel very feminine but strong at the same time. I see it as the type of woman who likes to buy her own luxuries and works hard, but appreciates it when a man opens the door for her or offers her his seat on the subway. I like that combination. :)

Smells so nice. A lot more expensive smelling than it actually is!

I bought this one at debut as I am a tuberose addict and love Fracas...Velvet Tuberose is more creamy and lacking Fracas' sparkle for some reason but beautiful on the skin and always romantic and sexy! Not crazy about the flacon design, but not put off enough not to buy! (like Bond #9's tres tacky cartoony bottles for such enchanting scents!) The perfume is wonderful but the bottle looks cheap.

Very elegant, more so for winter or evening wear- It's strong if you have it on, but those around you seem to love it. Probably my husband's favorite.

Velvet Tuberose is a strong floral tuberose scent. Imagine that. :-) If you found Fracas to be too intense, this is much softer tuberose scent that will probably be wearable for you. Fans of Fracas will find this a good, less expensive alternative for your daytime wear.

This is a very fresh, full-bodied floral with just a hint of green. Very feminine and romantic, with a little bit of sexiness, too. I would recommend all tuberose scents be sniff-tested in person (or on your person), and this one is no excpetion. If you're not a fan of tuberose or floral scents at all, you may find Velvet Tuberose a bit cloying.

More of a buttery tuberose to me. Lovely and agree that scent lasts a long time.

I liked this when I tried but did not buy. I think it is strong and romantic. Full Bodied and could be pulled off by the right gal.. Just don't know If I am her..

This is a very nice fragrance! Michael Kors perfume lovers should like this, just as I did. However, I like the body spray better than the EDT or EDP, other wise it is a bit overpowering. This is a creamy, voluptuous scent that is very sophisticated for B&BW. Lasting power is great too. I'd recommend, but not for everyone. If you like deep florals, try this!
