Best Tuberose Perfumes
Floral, intoxicating and seductive, here is my take on the best tuberose perfumes every girl needs for her collection.
1. Guerlain Florabloom Forte Eau de Parfum
Review
I first tried this Guerlain fragrance in Selfridges; Florabloom Forte is a beautifully powdery tuberose scent launched in 2024.
Opens with a refreshing burst of mango and tuberose, meandering through a delicate heart of powdery iris and violet. As it dries, it becomes gently musky.

Mango, Tuberose

Centifolia Rose, Iris, Violet

Sandalwood, Moss
Seasons & Longevity
Perfect for spring and summer, it’s the fragrance of choice for daytime adventures and evening soirees and lasts 6+ hours.
2. Gucci Bloom Intense Eau de Parfum
Review
Another 2024 discovery of mine is Gucci Bloom Intense: A richer, deeper take on the original Bloom, embodying the essence of fragrant gardens.
It starts with juicy pear, ginger essence, and mandarin and evolves into a heart of fragrant tuberose supported by jasmine. You’ll notice a touch of moss and coconut in the base.
Top Notes:
Pear, Ginger Essence, Mandarin
Mid Notes:
Jasmine Sambac, Tuberose, Lady of the Night
Base Notes:
Patchouli, Coconut, Crystal Moss

This fragrance blossoms in every season, making it a versatile choice for day or night that lingers for 4+ hours.
3. Givenchy L’Interdit Eau de Parfum Rouge Ultime
Review
A bold reinterpretation, Givenchy’s L’Interdit Rouge Ultime invites you to defy conventions.
Of the fanfare of white florals, tuberose shines the most. Seductive cocoa soon adds depth, with patchouli and vetiver gently hovering in the background.
Top Notes:
Neroli, Orange Blossom Absolute, Jasmine Sambac
Mid Notes:
Tuberose Absolute, Cocoa Shell Extract
Base Notes:
Patchouli, Vetiver, Ambroxan
Seasons & Longevity
Ideal for autumn and winter evenings, it’s a statement piece for grand occasions and will last 6+ hours with good projection.
4. Kenzo Flower Ikebana Eau de Parfum

This fragrance is an all-season delight, especially suited for daytime wear and moments of quiet reflection. It’s a discreet perfume that will last 4+ hours.
5. Loewe Solo Ella Elixir Eau de Parfum
Review
Solo Ella Elixir is a complex Loewes perfume: a spicy interpretation of tuberose, reflecting the multifaceted nature of this flower.

6. Juliette Has A Gun Lili Fantasy Eau de Parfum
Review
An audacious and whimsical creation, Lili Fantasy is an unusual release from Juliette Has A Gun, and I love it!
This unique blend opens with a playful bubble gum accord, dives into a tuberose heart, and settles into a base of ambery accord and bright ambroxan.
Top Notes:
Bubble Gum Accord
Mid Notes:
Jasmine Absolute, Tuberose Absolute
Base Notes:
Ambery Accord, Ambroxan
Seasons & Longevity
Ideal for spring and summer, too, it’s a bold choice for daytime wear and special occasions. One drawback is that it only lasts 3+ hours.
7. Giorgio Armani My Way Eau de Parfum
Review
I still find the 2020 Eau de Parfum version of Armani My Way the best at showcasing tuberose (out of the My Way collection).
This EDP unfolds with notes of citrusy bergamot and orange blossom, leading to a tuberose-dominant heart with touches of jasmine. The base is gently musky.
Top Notes:
Bergamot, Orange Blossom
Mid Notes:
Tuberose, Jasmine
Base Notes:
Cedarwood, Vanilla, White Musk
Seasons & Longevity
Versatile and timeless, My Way EDP is suitable for any season and occasion, making it a reliable companion on life’s journeys. Lasts 6+ hours.
8. Diptyque Do Son Eau de Parfum
Review
Do Son Eau de Parfum from Diptyque captures the mysterious allure of tuberose along the shores of Halong Bay.
A sensual blend of tuberose, supported by orange blossom and jasmine, with a hint of ambery wood gently emerging as it settles.
Top Notes:
Tuberose, Orange Blossom

Ambery Wood

Best worn in the spring and summer, it’s a divine choice for both day and night. Do Son will leave a trail of intrigue for 6+ hours.
9. Amouage Love Tuberose Eau de Parfum
Review
Love Tuberose by Amouage is a romantic, creamy-vanilla interpretation of the tuberose theme.
Tuberose and gardenia are the dominant floral forces, with a gourmand heart of Chantilly cream and vanilla with a smooth woody base. Heaven!
Top Notes:
Tuberose, Gardenia, Jasmine

Cedarwood, Sandalwood
Seasons & Longevity
A beautiful choice for all seasons, it shines in romantic daytime settings and special occasions and will last 5+ hours.
10. Aerin Tuberose Le Soir Eau de Parfum
Review
Tuberose Le Soir is Aerin Lauder’s homage to the beauty and mystery of tuberose at dusk, with exotic yellow floral notes thrown in.
A citrus opening moves to a heart of bright tuberose and exotic ylang-ylang. This scent settles into a warm amber base of sandalwood, supported by vanilla and wood.
Top Notes:
Mandarin, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Tuberose Absolute, Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes:
Sandalwood, Vanilla, Amber, Vetiver, Oakmoss
Seasons & Longevity
Especially suited for autumn and winter evenings (I think due to the ylang-ylang), it’s a sophisticated choice that lasts 6+ hours.
11. Nishane Tuberoza Extrait de Parfum
Review
Tuberoza Extrait de Parfum is a bold, luxurious Nishane interpretation of tuberose, blending the traditional with the unexpected.

Ingrid’s Top Pick
Gucci Bloom Intense Eau de Parfum
My top pick is Gucci Bloom Intense Eau de Parfum because the tuberose mixed with pear and a touch of ginger is elegantly feminine and performs well, too.
Conclusion
The best tuberose perfumes for me include other complementing floral notes such as jasmine, gardenia and even ylang-ylang with its exotic buttery aroma.
