In the sixteenth century missionaries introduced the tuberose mystique to France for the first time. Found in Central America and nurtured by the Aztecs, the tuberose flower was known as Omixochitl (‘skinny flower’) - a reference to its fragile long white blossoms.
Tuberoses intoxicating aroma can be rendered polished, creamy and safe but the true beauty of the flower is its dark carnal, leathery and smoky qualities. These are fully revelealed in Tubereuse Absolue, a rare gem.
Perfumer: Mathieu Nardin
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An evening conversation that continues after everyone else has left the table: unhurried, close, slightly charged. The contrast between green galbanum and dark, creamy tuberose suits that intimacy, giving the wearer a lush floral presence with a less innocent edge.
How to wear
Try it first in mild or cool weather, when the contrast between green accents and creamy florals is easier to appreciate. Start with one or two sprays on skin and let the composition settle before adding more. In warm conditions, a lighter application should keep the tuberose’s richness from dominating.
Who it’s for
For lovers of substantial white florals who prefer tuberose with green tension and darker nuances rather than a uniformly soft, creamy finish. It will appeal to tastes that welcome floral opulence but want an earthy, leathery counterpoint to its beauty.

The nose
Mathieu Nardin grew up in a Grasse perfumery family and developed his craft at Robertet, a house closely associated with natural raw materials. His work combines an appreciation of those materials with contemporary clarity, as in Miller Harris Tea Tonique. In Tubereuse Absolue, his focus shifts to tuberose’s richer, darker facets, framed by green accents and a layered floral heart.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo defines luxury through craftsmanship and the quality of raw materials rather than outward display. Its approach combines traditional extraction knowledge with technological innovation. The ingredient-focused Black Collection expresses that philosophy through contemporary compositions built around distinctive materials.
Tubereuse Absolue’s concept
Launched alongside Cacao Aztèque, Tubereuse Absolue belongs to an Aztec-inspired exploration of two aromatic materials. Its creative narrative draws on tuberose’s Central American origins and subsequent travels through perfume cultures. The central idea is olfactory: to reveal the flower’s dark, sensual, leathery and smoky facets rather than soften it into a purely creamy floral.
Extra info
Tubereuse Absolue won the women’s Niche Perfume category at Spain’s 2018 Academia del Perfume awards. It is available in both Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum versions; this Eau de Parfum belongs to the Black Collection.
