SERGE LUTENS
TUBEREUSE CRIMINELLE

Tubereuse Criminelle opens with a striking burst of tuberose, its white floral essence both intoxicating and slightly discordant, immediately setting it apart from traditional floral fragrances. As it develops, the fresh and warm spicy notes emerge, creating a complex interplay that hints at both sweetness and warmth. The fragrance gradually unfolds into a rich amber base, which anchors the floral top notes with a golden, resinous depth. This combination results in a fragrance that is undeniably bold, yet retains an inherent softness, making it a unique and memorable experience. Best suited for the cooler months of fall and winter, Tubereuse Criminelle thrives in evening settings where its moderate longevity and sillage can be fully appreciated. Its unisex appeal makes it a versatile choice for anyone looking to make a statement without overwhelming the senses. This fragrance stands out in the realm of white florals for its daring take on tuberose, offering a blend that is both sophisticated and slightly subversive. If you’re a fan of fragrances that challenge conventions, give this one a try; it might just be the dark floral you didn't know you needed.

verifiedBy Fragranova Editors

Tubereuse Criminelle reads as a white floral statement — the accord shows up from the first spray and stays through the wear. Expect a reasonable, well-behaved wear — not a beast, not a whisper. Hits hardest across fall and winter with a nighttime tilt. Most wearers settle on liking it (4.1/5) rather than loving it — a safe rotation addition.
