By the editors · 2 min readA pale, almost translucent tuberose that refuses the flower's usual tropical density. Tom Ford strips away the heaviness, presenting instead a sketch in soft charcoal and cream. The opening feels cool—peppery brightness against jasmine's sheer veil—before the tuberose arrives, ghostly and surprisingly restrained.
What develops is texture rather than volume. Suede wraps around the petals, muting their natural indoles into something skin-close and quietly animalic. Benzoin and styrax add just enough resinous warmth to prevent it from floating away entirely, while tonka and musk settle into a powdery afterglow.
This is tuberose for those who find most tuberose exhausting. It whispers where others shout, favoring intimacy over projection. The effect is modern and minimalist—a white shirt left unbuttoned, expensive but deliberately understated.
