Tubéreuse Impériale
Tubéreuse Impériale
Geranium opens the composition with a green, slightly medicinal edge before the tuberose arrives and takes over completely. Cecile Matton stacks ylang-ylang and both jasmine varieties behind it, which gives this particular tuberose more density than most, less white and wispy, more full-throated and tropical. The incense in the base is a smart choice: it grounds the florals without damping them, and the Madagascar vanilla adds a creaminess that stops the composition from feeling cold. This is tuberose treated as the main event, not decoration.
Why We Carry This
Tuberose is one of the most demanding florals to build around, and Cecile Matton did it properly here. The multi-jasmine heart construction gives Tubereuse Imperiale a richness that single-note tuberose fragrances rarely achieve. It's been in BDK's lineup since 2016 and holds its place confidently against newer entrants.
