Tumulte

by Françoise Caron

Christian Lacroix Tumulte is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Françoise Caron. Tumulte opens with Rose, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Iris and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Musk, and Tonka Bean. Christian Lacroix's Tumulte carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-led wear.

Tumulte by Christian Lacroix is a surprisingly controversial rose, swinging between 'heavenly' and 'a total mess'. It's a heady, intoxicating potion that's either your next obsession or a sweet, muddy disaster.

Its bold and sensual nature, with moderate-to-strong sillage according to reviews, makes it less suited for an office. However, its rich character and oft-cited 'intoxicating' quality are perfect for evening dates and formal events.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of mandarin and freesia, Tumulte quickly settles into a rich, powdery floral heart of iris and heliotrope, underpinned by a dominant jammy rose. The drydown provides a deep, sensual grounding with musk, tonka bean, and a dirty-sweet patchouli, creating a complex and somewhat boozy rose oriental.
