BDK Parfums Tubéreuse Impériale is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Cécile Matton. Tubéreuse Impériale opens with Herbal and Geranium, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cypress, and Vanilla. BDK Parfums's Tubéreuse Impériale carries a Statement verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This one's divisive: a full-on, sweet white floral for some, a saccharine tuberose bomb for others. If you're a tuberose lover, you'll likely adore its creamy, bubblegum facets; if not, expect it to be cloying and overwhelming. Definitely sample before committing.

Its potent white floral and vanilla accords, coupled with reports of strong sillage and longevity, make it less suitable for office wear. However, its elegance and 'sexy' perception from reviewers boost its date and formal appeal significantly, though it retains some casual versatility.

About

It opens with a bright, herbaceous geranium before plunging into a rich, creamy white floral heart dominated by tuberose and ylang-ylang, with subtle hints of iris and jasmine. The base settles into a warm, woody embrace of sandalwood, balsamic benzoin, and vanilla, rounded out by earthy patchouli and smoky incense.
