Carthusia Tuberosa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Luca Maffei. Tuberosa opens with Cinnamon, Elemi, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Ambroxan. Carthusia's Tuberosa carries an Acquired verdict, a tuberose-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a bold, fruity tuberose bomb that sparks strong opinions. Some find it a masterpiece of modern florals, others an overpowering, syrupy mess. Definitely one to test before buying if you're not a fan of powerful, sweet tuberose.

About

Opens with a potent, jammy plum and a flicker of cinnamon spice, quickly ushering in a creamy, yet distinct, tuberose. This white floral isn't shy, supported by the lush sweetness of ylang-ylang and rose. As it settles, a soft vanilla and woody vetiver provide a grounding finish, leaving a tenacious, sweet and musky trail.
