Overview

Tuberose Absolute - Fine

Tuberose Absolute has a well-established reputation for use in fine fragrances and perfumery. Our Tuberose Absolute – Fine is the epitome of exquisite with an extremely rich, clean, intensely sweet floral aroma, a refined oily-fatty undertone and a long, soft, sweetly floral drydown. The aroma of this delightful oil invokes an ambiance of sensuality, peace, and positivity. But for perfumers, our Tuberose Absolute – Fine is a specialty oil not to be missed. We highly recommend this one!

The absolute produced from the blossoms of Polianthes tuberosa (Tuberose) has a very complex chemical composition (as is true of other absolutes) and contains alcohols, aromatic esters, traces of indole, eugenol and tuberone (a ketone).1 Perhaps this is one of the reasons why complex and highly concentrated aromatic oils do not smell as expected, or may seem to have an off-putting aroma, when smelled directly from the container. It is so crucial to evaluate the aroma of aromatic oils from a scent strip where the oil is exposed to air, allowing the aromatic molecules to evaporate, become airborne, and be detected by the nose; then the true nature of the oil – with all its subtle tones and nuances – can be more accurately discerned.

The Pre-Columbian Indians of Mexico first domesticated the Tuberose, native to Central America where wild growing species can be found2. It was one of the first plants introduced to Europe from Mexico, and by the late 19th century, notable quantities of Tuberose were under cultivation in Grasse, France, where the absolute of the flowers was extracted by the "enfleurage" method. Besides France, the plants are currently cultivated in Morocco, Egypt and India.3

In perfumery, Tuberose is a powerful floral force, illuminating floral, amber, and exotic fragrances, and lending depth and opulence to other white flowers. Sensual, fresh, and heady with a touch of indolic muskiness, Tuberose is sure to enhance your aromatic creations with richly complex sweetness and body.

PLEASE NOTE: Tuberose Absolute is intended for use in perfumery only. Although absolutes are not recommended for aromatherapy applications, they may be safely incorporated in extremely low percentages (less than 1%) for aromatic effects, specifically if incorporating into an all-over body oil or massage oil. Please note: a little goes a long way.

Works its magic even in small amount. The creaminess and butteriness of this absolute is simply incredible. This is the very best, and with every penny. Also very strong. 1-5 % dilution is great for evaluating this product
Enjoy

Oh how I wish this wasn't so expensive so I could experiment with it more without guilt! It smells so beautiful and there are so many things I want to try with it, but I'm afraid of wasting it. Others have noted the butter scent and I must rave about that myself as it strikes me in such a powerful and delicious way. I've tried the organic version from Eden as well, and much prefer this version. In fact, I very much prefer it over any tuberose I've smelled anywhere else thus far! I have yet to smell the live flower though. Perhaps some day...

This is awesome aroma! First impression is a bit confusing as it reminds the rancid butter or gi but then I smelled it again and absolutely loved it. Can't get enough of it! I wish it was not that expensive.

After a week on the scent strip, I’ve finally found the real magic of Tuberose. Grandma taught me how to make fresh butter in a bowl by stirring the raw cream until it congeals into a butter ball - the size of a softball. That’s a special butter scent, and low and behold it is right here on the scent strip, with sugary sweetness melted into it. No earth or animal notes anymore. Amazing. Simply amazing!

What a lovely color! Intense yellowy golden colormy sample was. For some reason I'm very sensitive to bitter like notes or butyric smell. This to me, is super clean in that aspect. I've noticed this Tuberose is very carnal. Some might say masculine, but I say it smells like a human being. Compared to the tuberose I have already, this is totally different. The one I have is enfleurage. A whiff of methyl salicylate, cool, chilly. A note reminiscent of old rope? Maybe more like a thick woven floor mat, earthy. Bearing a rich methyl anthranilate blast! Grape like hard powdery candies, think pez but more natural. But this classic floral waxy dry out!! Making the SLIGHTEST hint of rubber, or a soft latex. Almost pearly, hard oceanic texture. This kinda has that base but everything els is night and day literally! A feminine, fruity sweet purple or a rugged golden buttery warm treat, this this tuberose fine absolute. So if your expecting a grape powdery almost gothic kinda hippy incense, think again. This is very warm, bright almost a peppery like woody tone, in my opinion.
I expected the sweeter one but I'm glad I've seen the duality in tuberose! Thanks Eden!!

Surely this tuberose deserves as much attention as jasmine and ylang! It takes the cake in my book, and I've so far inhaled countless breaths of EB's Jasmine Grandiflorium (Egypt and India), Jasmine Sambac, and Ylang Ylang Complete, Fine...figured those three could not be topped. Yet this tuberose has totally blown me away. So many years of being indifferent to synthetic fragrance house tuberose (the word "tube" never impressed upon me favorably) and just being numbed to florals in general. Never thought a single floral note could be so complex and sexy.

Well, I have to say this is favorite absolute so far. I love this journey I've been on! I was initially taking myself to be a CO2 extract fundamentalist not even a few months ago, but splurging on exotic floral absolutes has been a game changer. I love what this is doing to my already colorful worldview. This tuberose is soft, bouncy, creamy, almost milky--like horchata in a way, just a hint of gourmand intrigue. I will be ordering MUCH more. It does such a beautiful dance with Sambac, Orris, Amyris, some sandalwood and styrax. I feel like I've fallen in love. Thanks again, EB. Such exquisite trips you let us to on!

It is out of this world. Oh tuberose, where have you been all my life? Smells like the night... a "masculine" flower, if i've ever smelled one.
