L'Artisan Parfumeur Tubereuse is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1978, created by Jean-François Laporte. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Tubereuse carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a creamy, luscious tuberose that divides opinion sharply. While some find it intoxicating and perfect, others are put off by a 'synthetic' or even 'rotting vegetation' quality. A true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and rich floral profile make it less suitable for the office but excellent for date nights and formal events. The creamy, slightly tropical undertones also lend themselves well to casual wear, especially in warmer weather, though some suggest it shines in cooler temperatures.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a rich, creamy tuberose, the kind that feels opulent and soft rather than sharp or green. This is lifted by the exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang, adding a sun-drenched, almost tropical floral depth. A subtle hint of coconut rounds out the composition, contributing a buttery smoothness that prevents the florals from becoming too heady, creating a full-bodied, slightly vintage character.
