Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Tubereuse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988, created by Jean-François Laporte. Tubereuse opens with Green Notes, Rose, and Tuberose, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier's Tubereuse carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This tuberose is a divisive one: some adore its green, 'old money' elegance, while others find it too waxy, soapy, or even like modelling clay. 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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and 'ladylike' elegance make it suitable for a range of occasions, leaning towards daytime wear as it's not overly heavy. However, some find it a bit too 'old money' for casual, and the divisiveness might make it risky for a formal setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with a brisk, green freshness, quickly joined by the star tuberose, often described as buttery and elegant rather than overtly sweet. A subtle rose note weaves through the heart, which then settles into a clean, musky amber base. Some detect a waxy, almost peachy undertone that lingers throughout.
