Tubereuse Criminelle
Well, my first encounter with Tubereuse Criminelle was love at fist sight. I was thinking: "this is the ONE!" It's floral and feminine and special, unlike any other floral. But i smelled it in a peculiar form, that is in a concrete (wax) sample from Shiseido.
Now i finally bought the perfume in its alcoholic form, not the wax one. And what a surprise! the scent starts with a really strange mouthwash smell of mentol and pine. I understand from other reviews that it is the styrax that dozs that. It's a very disturbing smell. Fortunately, it dissipates after a while and the beautiful floral creamy sensuous tuberose reigns supreme at last.
This is a throughly contemporary interpretation of tuberose, and won't smell like any other perfume, something that I deeply value in a scent. This is the first perfume by Christopher Drake for Serge Lutens that i came upon discovering, and i liked it so much that i wanted to know more about the Sheldrake/Lutens creations. Definitely a keeper.
