Parfums Caron Tubereuse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Richard Fraysse. Tubereuse opens with Citrus, Tuberose, and Narcissus, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Freesia, Peach, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Parfums Caron's Tubereuse carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a straight-up tuberose for tuberose lovers, full stop. Rich, sweet, and undeniably a bit retro, it's not trying to be anything it isn't. Expect a heady floral with enormous presence, which some will adore and others will find a bit much.

Scent Profile

Composition

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 Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its enormous sillage and moderate longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for dates and formal events where its opulent character can shine. It's a bit too rich for casual daily wear, but not completely out of place.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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 bright, slightly bitter citrus kick that quickly gives way to a creamy, opulent tuberose. Narcissus adds a touch of green depth before a heart of lush jasmine and juicy peach and apricot come into play, sweetening the floral bouquet. The journey finishes on a smooth, comforting whisper of vanilla, grounding the intoxicating florals without veering into gourmand territory. It's a full-bodied, slightly chewy white floral experience.
