Noix de Tubereuse Miller Harris for women

Right after a bath I'm very picky about which perfume to put on because I know that I won't be bathing for at least a day. I rarely try a completely unknown entity upon surfacing from the tub. No, mystery scents are best tested with an abundance of bubbles on the horizon!

I've been noticing that I gravitate more and more toward a cluster of truly dependable houses when post-bath perfuming time arrives, and Miller Harris is one of them. I know that I can count on whatever I wear from this house to smell natural and appealing rather than synthetic and scary. Tonight I have donned NOIX DE TUBEREUSE and reaffirmed my love both for this scent and for this house.

NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is a fresh and natural-smelling tuberose with a clarity I've found lacking in some other niche tuberose soliflores. Nothing here is vague or thick or artificial smelling. The tuberose is slightly green and not that sweet, perhaps because of the clover and the iris? The composition also boasts mimosa, in addition to amber and fig, but mostly this is a fresh bouquet of tuberose.

Nothing like FRACAS (which I also love, but for other reasons), NOIX DE TUBEREUSE might lie a bit closer to CARNAL FLOWER (of which I am not however very fond). I feel that I'm in the midst of a bunch of fresh-cut tuberose, with the stems still attached to the petals. I've seen fields of lavender. Are their fields of tuberose? NOIX DE TUBEREUSE is just that to me.

A perfect post-bath and pre-bedtime choice for tuberose lovers!

My first grown up perfume purchase of the year & I like it! I was a bit unsure about it at first, due to a disconcerting powdery top note which reminded me of baby's nappies. I momentarily thought I had made the wrong expensive choice! This disappeared very quickly & aged rather pleasantly on me. I'd describe it is pleasingly soft, pillowy & elegant :)

This opens and goes on perfectly on me, it is a full/rich tuberose followed by sweet and green mimosa, which usually does not work on me, but here it plays a lovely role.
I do think that this is similar to Fracas, but let's be honest - it doesn't. In Fracas the tuberose is loud and majestic, here it is more creamy and tropical, more suitable for everyday wear.
I actually love this, it smells lovely on me, none of the Miller Harris perfumes I've tried before I've enjoyed, but this is very nice.
9/10

I bought this blind, and I am not sure about it, it is very powdery on me. It smells vintage to me and not in a good way really. I love fracas much more. What will I do with 100ml bottle. Ouch!

Update: I gave this to my hairdresser. It smells great on her, oh man no more blind buys of this price range!

I seem to love tuberose scents and they seem to love me lol. This seems to last and last and last, very comforting, smells a bit fluffy and pink if you know what I mean but in a nice way lol

After Si Lolita this is the poorest thinnest perfume that I have ever had. It opens with a lemon soapy note that instantly fades into a wee faint whimper of de-natured tuberose. How can any tuberose be this pathetic? Unless my sample from Posh Peasant is somehow faulty, it's a rip-off. Boo hiss!

to aletalaria - real musk hasn't been used for some time now. Everyone uses synthetic musk. Chanel would be no exception.

this is the best tuberose frag i have smelled so far.I want it sooooo bad!!!

Massively heady, which isn't a bad thing for me, but good lord it takes a long time to develop into something I would actually be happy to wear.

The overwhelming top notes of Tuberose & mimosa are rendered just this side of sickly by the powdery violet. The general effect is that of opening a packet of Loveheart sweets - sherbety, fizzy and nose-tingling. This only continues to fizz on the skin and became almost unbearably cloying for me - I was at the stage of cursing myself for ever having sprayed it - but ever one to give perfumes a chance, I resisted the gnawing urge to reach for the scrubbing brush and present myself at the village pump, thus to cleanse myself of the noxious violet (I don't do well with most violet perfumes, as you may have been able to discern!)

Perhaps another couple of hours passed in this manner, until, suddenly, I couldn't smell the sweetness anymore. It was replaced by a rather nice musky creaminess with a slight nutty dryness that mixed well with the resin. Hang on a minute! I like this! Ah. Well. Not quite. This stage lasted approximately 10 minutes, then disappeared altogether. If the drydown alone could be bottled & the staying power of that increased, I'd buy it in the blink of an eye. As it stands, I didn't want to buy it even though it was in the half-price sale bin. Not a keeper for me, I'm afraid.

I'd suggest that people who adore tuberose might like to try this after all - I am not a tuberose lover by any means, so it's hardly a fair evaluation. I do like to think I can stand back and calmly assess fragrances I don't happen to be keen on but which are obviously very well done of their kind, though. I just think there's likely to be a better tuberose out there for you.
