Tubereuse by L Artisan Parfumeur

add reviewAnyway I like L'artisan Tuberouse more than other tuberouse scents, because it is simpler and a little tamed compared let's say By Kilian Beyond Love (love!). I have no idea if it is chemical or not. L'Artisan claims to be natural based (more or less IMO).
The problem is that tuberouse is difficult in itself and it can provoke repulsion in many people. It's a flower that you either love or hate it. I also smell the buttery edge but it is so faint and mingles nicely with the flower.
It smells to me like a fragment of Givenchy Amarige, as if someone took away a piece from Amarige's puzzle and put it apart to make a separate perfume. Amarige also has a weird edge that many people describe as rotten fruit or vegetable, but I don't smell this edge on me.
All in all it is a very wearable tuberouse, joyful and sunny white, slightly soapy in the drydown and quite longlasting. Chemistry must be the trick here.

On another fragrance website, virtually all of the reviews of Tubereuse mention the smell of butter. When I sampled it today--and with my usual flair for testing used the entire sample vial--I smelled something very, very strange that evoked an odd memory. Though I readily detected the floral element--and thought this was the most unpleasant tuberose fragrance I'd ever smelled--there was also something else that dominated in the top notes that was decidedly unfloral. What was it?? I'd never encountered it in a perfume. Then I remembered that long-ago dinner party in Toronto...
Now, after reading the notes, I can only assume it was the coconut milk that set my nerves jangling--though it surely didn't come off smelling like coconut. Like my Dutch ancestors, I just love butter in or on food, but I surely don't want to wear it. Even when the top notes faded, I could still smell something butter-like. And, I might add, it didn't exactly smell like fresh butter--the word "rancid" came to mind. The butter smell took over five hours to fade and completely overwhelmed anything floral for most of that time.
Previous reviewers have noted a rotting or stale vegetable scent. We are probably smelling the same thing, just calling it different names. The dry-down didn't improve it. It just faded into something less vivid that is neither attractive nor offensive.
