Zara Tubereuse Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Jo Malone. Tubereuse Noir settles into a heart of Tuberose and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Zara's Tubereuse Noir carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This tuberose is a real shapeshifter - some find it a delightful, creamy bubblegum confection, others a dirty, even mournful floral. It's affordable, impactful, and undeniably divisive. If you're a tuberose fan, it's worth a sniff.

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.

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent projection and intense tuberose accord might be too much for an office setting, but it shines on dates due to its sensual and bold character. It's a versatile choice for casual wear, especially for those who enjoy making a statement, though its floral maturity might be a bit much for purely casual scenarios and not at all suitable for sport.

About

A potent tuberose takes centre stage, radiating a creamy, slightly indolic white floral heart. Hints of sweet, tropical ylang-ylang weave through, lending a banana-milkshake richness that counters the tuberose's raw edge. A grounding base of sandalwood provides a woody, subtly smoky foundation, adding depth and a touch of earthiness to this heady floral composition.
