Perris Montecarlo: Tubereuse Absolue
When Gian Luca Perris said he was
composing a tuberose-based new perfume I could not wait to try it:
the perfumes in his Perris Monte Carlo line (website here) show a great love for raw
materials and emphasize them as few others.
Like other fragrances in this brand,
Tubereuse Absolue is available in both Eau de Parfum and Parfum, with
two slightly different and somewhat complementary formulas.
The Parfum is dominated by a
beautifully dry and profound tuberose, herbaceous, smoky, with a hint
of bark. This is a shady, indomitable, wild fragrance of untamed
virility (but also pleasing to feminine skin! Obviously, a strong
personlity is a prerequisite...).
The EdP explores
a more joyous, immediate, open side. The tuberose is coupled with a
salty note that exalts its sweetness, with a plasticized, “sunscreen”
side. The result is a soundly modern, fluorescent,
exhilarating perfume. Good humor to wear.
Same note, two complementary aspects.
In the end, Gian Luca has dedicated tuberose two fragrances and I
cannot thank him enough!
"GianLuca what a wealth, two marvelous
tuberose scents in the same launch!" I congratulated him, some months ago.
"A year and a half ago, when I
decided to deal with this flower, I only knew that I wanted to create
something different, an unusual tuberose, that did not recall
anything already existing." He answered.
"But I soon realized that it would be
complicated because tuberose has two very different aspects, which
are difficult to unify. In the end, I decided to devote two
fragrances: one would exalt the predominantly natural, herbaceous,
primitive side and the other that would homage the most "cultural"
side, or tuberose as we have known and loved in a hundred years of
perfumery."
Both, of course, are Perris up to the
marrow. Rich, vibrant, engaging.
If I had to choose only one, I would
choose the EdP because it is closer to my feminine, sumptuous,
tuberose idea, but in the end I would like them both. I would buy the
Parfum as a gift for my husband. And then I would wear that one, too.
