U ££ Acquired

Tubereuse Couture 17

Name: Tubereuse Couture 17 Eau de Parfum
Brand: Pierre Guillaume Paris

Pierre Guillaume Paris Tubereuse Couture 17 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Pierre Guillaume. Tubereuse Couture 17 opens with Green Notes, Orange, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane and Benzoin. Pierre Guillaume Paris's Tubereuse Couture 17 carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your grandma's dainty tuberose; it's a bold, sweet, and divisive take on the white floral icon. Prepare for punchy green openings, bubblegum sweetness, and a love-it-or-hate-it journey that some find intoxicating and others, well, a bit much.

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.

Its exceptional sillage and longevity make it a bit much for the office but perfect for an evening out or casual events where you want to make a statement. The opulent white florals and sweet accords suit special occasions, though some find it a touch too 'tropical vacation' for highly formal settings.

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

Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

A fierce opening of green papyrus and zesty orange bursts forth, quickly giving way to a tropical heart where indolic tuberose and creamy ylang-ylang intertwine. A curious banana-like nuance emerges, sweetened by luscious sugar cane and grounded by the warm, balsamic depth of benzoin. It's a heady white floral that, despite its initial intensity, settles into a surprisingly smooth and almost gourmand embrace, a decadent floral confection.
