The take

What works

  • The definitive luxury tuberose — indolic, coconutty, magnificently alive
  • Eucalyptus green note is a brilliant counterpoint to the white floral heart
  • Exceptional longevity for a white floral

Trade-offs

  • Intensely feminine — wrong for masculine wearers
  • Tuberose indole can be overwhelming in small spaces
