Tubereuse 1 La Capricieuse, Histoires de Parfums





Despite the name, this is all about iris. A dry, powdery iris encapsulated in a waxy and buttery layer, sharing the limelight with an elegant suede note.

A balancing act leaning towards plastic doll head, vibrating but manages to stay on the right side of the line.

I can feel this one very clear. It's texture is of an old oil painting with thick, hard portions between strokes in different directions. At first sight irregular and random, but stroking away the dust that covers it tells you it is made with great thoughtfullness and care.
