^^^ It's pretty perfect for what it is, but if like me you don't like that sort of thing then you'll hate it. But at least Malle's made something worthy of love or hate, whereas most stuff just receives indifference.
Do you dislike tuberose in general, or do you just dislike this particular treatment of tuberose? I ask b/c it seems like anyone who likes tuberose is going to like Carnal Flower, and anyone who dislikes that note will dislike the scent. In other words, I think Carnal Flower is the ideal treatment of tuberose. But maybe I'm wrong about that. I'd be curious to hear other points of view.
Yeah, I generally don’t like tuberose. All I get is a garish tuberose.
It was through Carnal Flower and Chanel #19 that I figured out I really dislike Tuberose, and any sort of 'cold' or bitter florals. I like bulgarian rose (IIRC), ie sweeter fruitier sort of florals and the occasional white powdery one, but nothing indolic (ie true jasmine) or tuberose.
and I've smelled a good range of Iris's too and don't understand why everyone loves the note.
Iris Silver Mist? It’s certainly a mainstay in my arsenal.
Now: Black Orchid. Look out!
