History

Tuberose has been used in perfumery since the 17th century, particularly in French and Indian traditions. Its distinctive scent became popular in soliflore compositions and complex floral bouquets during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The accord remains significant as a symbol of luxury and sensuality in classic and contemporary perfumery.

In Perfumery

Perfumers use the Tuberose accord as a central note in white floral fragrances, often in the heart of the composition. It is commonly paired with jasmine, gardenia, ylang-ylang, and green notes to balance its intensity. The accord is also used to add depth and richness to oriental, chypre, and modern gourmand fragrances.
