7 Best Smelling Tuberose Scented Perfumes

Tuberose is one of the most popular white floral notes that is used in women’s perfumes. It’s sweet and what is often compared to a ‘bubble gum’ sort of smell is both distinct and lovely when done right. On this page, I want to keep a running list of the best tuberose based fragrances for ladies.

What are the Top Smelling Tuberose Fragrances?

Popular Spicy Designer Option

L’Interdit Rouge by Givenchy– The entire L’Interdit lineup features a tuberose note, for a sweeter floral experience, you might try the original: L’Interdit

With Rouge, you’re going to get a spicier take on the formulation, and the best of the lot in my mind. Blood orange, ginger, and orange blossom all have a large role early on in the wear. However, that orange blossom will fade in favor of our target tuberose note.

The end is a blend of the ginger, patchouli, tuberose, and sandalwood. The tuberose becomes much more dominant, as we move into the middle and final acts of this perfumes development. It’s a nice mix of earthy spice and creaminess.

A fairly bold sillage and L’Interdit Rouge lasted about 8 hours on my skin during testing. L’Interdit Rouge Review

An Armani Prive

Rouge Malachite– Armani has its Prive line of more high end fragrances. Rouge Malachite is a perfume from their Les Terres Precieuses series within the Prive lineup.

However, you also get a fresh sage top, benzoin and amber in the base, along with other floral notes like jasmine. In the opening, you get a sweetness with spice. Then benzoin and amber join the main tuberose thrust to give it a smoother fizzy creaminess.

It is a strong floral fragrance, but has a surprising amount of depth, which should keep one catching new facets of its aroma. Again, this is an expensive one, so you might want to find a sample before committing to a full bottle.

Green and Fresh

Joyeuse Tubereuse by Guerlain– This entry from Guerlain adds some greenish/dewy facets to the tuberose note. Also, there is a pretty substantial lily note in the mix, at times.

Joyeuse Tubereuse is lighter and fresher than some of the denser perfumes that are on this page. It gives you a really nice white floral dynamic with the lily note. Greener in the earlier stages, but more of the tuberose and sandalwood as you progress.

There is also vanilla, but it isn’t a high level of that note.  Sillage isn’t massive, but the longevity is pretty good, just don’t expect a complete beast.

That Gucci Ambrosia

Ambrosia di Fiori– This is similar to the original Bloom, but with more power and a greater use of our target note. Ambrosia di Fiori has a great opening honeysuckle and a big use of tuberose later on in the wear.

Ambrosia also has a rose note, which makes it distinct from the original, and does add something to an already familiar blend. The rose doesn’t completely overpower everything else, though. It has a nice balance.

If you want a bigger, bolder, and heavier version of Bloom with some slight differences, this is the one to get. Very solid performance to go along with everything else. Ambrosia di Fiori Review

Suede and Tuberose

Tubereuse Nue by Tom Ford– Like a lot of Tom Ford fragrances, Tubereuse Nue is a bold take on a tuberose-centered perfume. This one does have a lot of projection and the overall performance is fantastic.

However, this won’t be one that everyone enjoys, but can be the top pick for a smaller percentage of tuberose wearers. Our target note is joined by a big suede note, some oud, and a fuzzy blend of musk, styrax, and benzoin. Nice leathery touches.

Yet, outside of the suede, those notes don’t completely dominate throughout. You do indeed get a great white floral scent. Lily, jasmine, and that brilliant tuberose are a true delight here. I don’t find it to be super heavy and still one that is very much at home in the springtime.

Ylang-Ylang Tubereuse

Tubereuse Imperiale by BDK Perfumes– Tubereuse Imperial is a true floral which gives you that blend of sweetness with the buttery creaminess of ylang-ylang/vanilla, and an additional jasmine.

The opening does feel fresher and cleaner, with a geranium and pink pepper mix that helps to keep this one clean and with a livelier aroma in the top half of this perfume.

The tuberose does have that ‘bubblegum’ presence here, but it doesn’t completely take over or make it too sweet for some tastes. The ylang-ylang and vanilla notes give this the unique and beautiful signature that makes it such a joy to wear.

Spicy & Earthy

Tubereuse Indiana By Creed For Women. Millesime Spray 2.5 Oz– Tuberose Indiana brings on a nice smelling bouquet of white floral notes highlighted by the tuberose, but not really dominated. In addition, one gets a hint of bergamot, and a creamy vanilla at the top.

Then, there is the ambergris and fairly heavy musk.  This is an older school type of scent. The citrus is a nice light addition in the opening and the vanilla gives it a further touch of sweet/creaminess to balance off the heavier aspects of the ambergris.

This one is smooth, but it has an underlying earthiness and much more of a spicy presence than some of the others on the list.

Notes include vanilla, ambergris, tuberose, white flowers, and bergamot. Captivating smell.
