Love Tuberose Woman Eau de Parfum AMOUAGE

+ I'm sampling Love Tuberose (LT). This smells a little similar to my beloved Elie Saab Essence Tuberose, but love tuberose is a lighter and more beachy summer version (Saab Tuberose is loud and a lot more buttery by comparison to my nose). Love tuberose is just more tamed and lovely. No one could dislike this because it just smells like luxury white floral sun cream.

LT smells of creamy tuberose with vanilla cream and sandalwood. I just had to have it when the opportunity came up to buy a discounted bottle. Sometimes I smell very lightly mentholated tuberose in the opening with creamy notes of vanilla and whipped cream followed by a jasmine and gardenia on a woody base.

Longevity is good for me. Lasts all day. I actually feel a gentle cloud around me when I wear it. It's not a light and airy perfume perfume and it lasts about all day with soft sillage. I can smell it without putting my skin to my nose. If you spray too much, it can become overwhelming. Overall: It's perfect for me.

EDIT: JAN2021 I've had this for a year or so and the fragrance has gotten stronger and longer lasting. It lasts all day now and the opening is strong. I wrote about it being light and airy but it has changed on me or maybe my nose has changed. This isn't light and airy. It's very, very heavy. Lots of vanilla and tuberose. My bottle will surely last a lifetime. 2 sprays lasts for days on a card. omg.

I don't know. I don't hate it, because it literally smells like 5 or 6 different fragrances that I love. Wherein lies the problem, it smells so much like other things available. For a fraction of the cost, I might add.

It smells fine and lasts a while, which is all you could really want from a $500AUD fragrance - apart from for it to cost about $200-300 less. A rare moment of Amouage not separating themselves from the crowd, but I can't be angry - the entire 'Love' range is pretty ... cozy, shall we say?

On my perfume eating skin, this creamy rich tuberose makes it past the 4 hour mark before entering the drydown stage. And that is a small miracle.

I think this is going to bloom in the summer heat. On my third wearing I’m picking up a clean, unadulterated natural tuberose. I also pick up the supporting notes of cream, gardenia and sandalwood but only after reading about the notes on this site. Vanilla just adds to the richness of this scent which stays linear after the initial 15 minute opening.

Because of the stellar performance, Love Tuberose is a great perfume. My nose never tires of this scent. And after some searching, I found the 100ml bottle, new and sealed from a trusted discount site, for under $160. (No tax, no shipping). My next Amouage floral acquisition was between Honour and Love Tuberose, but I have finally decided on my next purchase.

Edit: I must report regarding the performance of this scent on my skin. I applied two spritz on my wrists 36 hours ago. Since then I have showered and washed my hands numerous times, ridden my bike 8 miles and walked my dog twice. This morning I’m catching some gorgeous whiffs of tuberose and sandalwood. I’m thinking it must be the perfume I wore yesterday, but it’s not. It’s Love Tuberose.....my mind is blown. So the drydown, albeit soft, is still going and it’s heaven.

Now, THIS is gorgeous, ya’ll. Such a creamy and sweet tuberose, a whipped cream lover’s dream. A full bottle will be mine at some point. I’m gonna play the comparison game, in case it’s helpful to anyone:

Madonna’s Truth or Dare has a heavy artificial bubblegum note to me, and Amouage LT luckily does not. I like TorD, but I love Amouage LT. I compared them on each of my arms against each other, and LT is far and away the smoother, more beautiful rendition.

Guerlain Joyeuse Tubereuse smells like tuberose mixed with Smarties candies (a cool scent), while Amouage LT smells like tuberose mixed with whipped cream and sunshine (a slightly warmer scent). Adore both, but I want the Amouage more.

Mona Di Orio Les Nombres d’Or-Tubereuse smells like spicy cumin mixed with cinnamon with a faint trace of tuberose in the background. If you like the Mona Di Orio, then you will probably find Amouage LT to be too sweet, they have extremely different profiles.

Carnal Flower is more sexy and animalic than Amouage LT (which does not read sexy OR animalic at all). There’s room for both of these fragrances in my wardrobe. I’d wear Carnal Flower with bare shoulders while having fun at a tiki bar in the evening. I’d wear Amouage LT while wearing a fluttery pastel-colored dress during a spring or summer day.

For me, this is absolutely stunning.

Perfect, in fact.

Exactly what I have been looking for, all my life and I don't say that lightly, as I am extremely hard to please and most fragrances (that smell, even vaguely, natural) don't seem to suit me.

Suzanne is correct in saying that (if it does suit you) it is like the Goldilocks of tuberoses.

This is the one for you, if you have that slightly unusual kind of skin chemistry that, genuinely, suits (dare I say it?!) Giorgio Beverly Hills.

Rather than a tuberose with a colder, bitter edge to it, like Fracas.

I say this, because Love Tuberose is sweet.

So, like Giorgio, unless you have a very sweet tooth (which I don't), I think it would tend to suit those whose body chemistry tends to turn fragrances sourer, rather than sweeter.

It's pure, sweet and creamy.

Like someone, accidentally, poured cream soda in a glass vase, rather than water, before sticking a bouquet of tuberoses (in full bloom) in it.

Yes, it's fairly simple, at first - but, sometimes simplicity, as long as it's perfectly done, is all you really need.

Also, as it develops, it becomes more sultry (for want of a better word!).

Slightly savoury, woody and buttery - almost nutty, in fact.

Which is, also, extremely nice.

Highly recommended.
