White Sandalwood, Purple Orchid, and Tuberose

No further description.

in the bottle the orchid seems to be peeking out around the tuberose. wet on the skin the tuberose really blooms and dominates, although the sandalwood and orchid seem to be giving the tuberose a very clean vibe, so this is a very pink and frilly tuberose as opposed to the rich floral tuberose of some other bpals with this note. not to say this is not floral, it def is but a very light (tho not high pitched, soapy) floral.

 

as it dries the tuberose REALLY comes out more, and this does indeed become a richer heavy tuberose note. The sandalwood is more present for me; this is almost like a tuberose incense. light throw.

Light, dusty wood, agreed, like incense, with a dusky floral, a tad peppery like carnation, a rich, deep purple (heh Deep Purple). The tuberose is not the usual indolic kind, I get something vinyl-like, waxy, a little plastic here and there, but not bad, overall more floral than artificial. I picture the petals, but also the pistils and pollen.

 

Springy, purple dusky floral incense. A little like Midnight on The Midway w/o the musk and rain, more in mood than the notes being very similar. Hard to get the carnival association out of my head, maybe this is a lady at the carnival in the 40s or 80s, when waxy florals were more vogue, it's dusk on the midway before the flowers have closed up for the night and that storm hits, and someone is burning sandalwood incense to keep the skeeters away.

 

I dig it.
