Tuberose
EDPUnisex
The Story
Marissa Zappas's Tuberose is a bold, green take on the classic white floral. It opens with a burst of fresh galbanum and bitter orange, then settles into a lush tuberose heart with a hint of spice. The base is a creamy, animalic blend of sandalwood and castoreum that gives it a vintage feel. This is tuberose for people who think they don't like tuberose.
