Lancôme Tubéreuses Castane is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Shyamala Maisondieu. Tubéreuses Castane settles into a heart of Chestnut and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean. Lancôme's Tubéreuses Castane carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a properly divisive beast - you'll either adore its boozy, nutty tuberose and find it a sophisticated gourmand masterpiece, or you'll be running for the hills from what some call an overpowering, synthetic, or even 'shoe-polish' scent. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Tubéreuses Castane opens with an intoxicating, almost boozy tuberose, rich and creamy, quickly enveloped by the inviting warmth of roasted chestnut. Tonka bean then swells, lending a syrupy sweetness and balsamic depth that makes the floral heart feel luxurious and full-bodied. The blend leans gourmand, a decadent dessert of white florals and nuts, settling into a plush, sweet amber-vanilla base with a soft, lingering tuberose whisper.
