Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) absolute, if you have not smelled it, is sweet, somewhat spicy, rich and tenacious.
I have totally fallen in love with Tuberose absolute. Hands down. I have been working quite a bit with it, blending with Ylang Ylang and Jasmine. I could nearly drop Tuberose into a base oil and call it a perfume by itself, but I won’t.
My goal is to include Tuberose in a blend that I will call my signature scent. These things take time, patience and practice. I am working on all of the above.
A little background: Tuberose is generally not recommended for aromatherapy use, but is recommended as an exotic addition to natural perfume. It is considered a heart (middle) note in a perfume blend. Tuberose is a native of Central America, where it is found growing wild. Oh…how I would love that!
I haven’t researched this, but it is also my understanding that tuberose is used in some confectionaries and beverages. I am in love with Lavender and Chamomile tea, I may have to check into the prospect of Tuberose too.

It’s beautiful but never heard of it or smelled it before.

I LOVE tuberose!!!
Cannot get enough of it, Katie. I read recently that the tuberose absolute that we know now is nothing like the tuberose perfumists used 30-40 years ago. I have read the same thing about patchouli. I would love to sniff some vintage bottles. How about you?
I’m with Katie I love the scent of Tuberose and the plant it’s self is spectacular
I doubt that I could grow the plant here, but who knows. We are thinking of putting up a small greenhouse, Annie, it could be just the right environment.
