Tuberose Enfleurage.

Tuberose Enfleurage. An organic, handmade, botanical solid perfume produced by hand using the slow artisanal process of cold enfleurage from tuberose grown in my garden, and collected in late summer and autumn. Please note, this is indeed a truly organic tuberose fragrance-- a rarity. The scent is creamy, minty, and saline. I have a very limited quantity. I like to pick tuberose flowers in various stages of opening for enfleurage. My favorite are the double blossomed, although I also grow the single blossom variety. The double have a more powerful fragrance, opening with frosty wintergreen notes. When fully opened they are creamier, though not exactly sweet, and less minty. Tuberose is creamy like sour or heavy cream, while gardenia is creamy like custard or pastry cream. Tuberose also has ethereal lily notes that are not present in gardenia. Some people denote coconut notes in tuberose and/or gardenia, but I don't find that fruit's aroma to be present in either. Mango in gardenia, yes
