Well done mrsm it is Tuberose. Perhaps not the best to wear when you can’t breathe very well though

Pest was spot on with amber, a little bit spicy

Oh and also Jasmine which can be confused with Tuberose

FFS just said to DH its tuberose. I have been influenced by the sledgehammer tuberose in Bombfire .

Oscar?

Goodness MrsM did you manage to faint? Or just cause a bit of a scene? (with coughing, spluttering and asthma attack?

Oh no mrsm asthmatic attacks are scary, glad to hear the staff were nice to you

Pest well done to you too nope not Oscar

^meant to say asthma attack/ hyperventilating. Anything to do with breathing going awry is scary (I have asthma)

I'd put myrrh as the spice.
Think we might have to wait for the nally nose to recover.
It does decongest the sinuses, I should stop sniffing so deeply.

I was a very British and discreet Pest. Took myself off to a vestibule, where fortunately there were a couple of train staff.

Tuberose and amber, relation to Poison, sounds like it could be Truth or Dare, but that's just based on reading up on notes...

Spices developing, so searched by notes and got this eclectic selection.

Now I am already distracted and want to know if this lot smell similar.

Have you found a way to search by multiple notes Pest?

It’s none of those Pest i think the slight spice is coming from orris root which is a wood not spice so there’s no actual spice in it

MrsM you can search by notes on Fragrantica , very useful.

I can still smell it this morning. As he was falling asleep DH reckoned I had a bit on an energy drink smell going on

Pest so interesting what people smell when you have no preconceptions. I’m guessing neither of you are a fan of this one? Not surprising as Tuberose is a marmite fragrance

I really like it, it is one of those constantly changing journey perfumes.

My name is Pest, I am a tuberose addict.

Search by notes is in the menu bar on the left of the fragrantica page. This link should work better

Morning! Pest & Bluebell - your packages are on their way - hoping they'll be with you in the morning.

Blue I like the heart and drydown of A, more than the opening. It reminds me so much of the tuberose note from Poison - which I admire, but don't feel at home with (IYKWIM). I'm not going to guess this unless there are clues!

Yes, isn't it interesting to sniff without any contextual information. Makes me realise how much influence packaging and branding has in forming judgements of 'quality', even though I try to think critically about this. (I know lots of pretty undistinguished stuff sells at a premium because it is put out by a trendy niche house, and that there are lots of glorious things out there that aren't 'high end').

Isn't this a great thing to do...very excited with 5 more to explore.

Big clue ladies: It’s a British perfume house and nose.

SOTD is Pest Sample A really enjoying it and I think I know what it might be but don’t want to ruin it for mrsm

It’s powdery and a very distinctive flower

its a glorious autumnal day in London and I am in the office alone, Maxed Out!

Put me out of my misery Blue - am wondering about Miller Harris or Jo Malone...

Brave Boris!

Well done mrsm it’s Miller Harris Noix de Tubereuse
