Headspace has quite an impressive line-up, with Santal being the stand out for me. Tuberose isn’t my favorite note, but Tubereuse does it in a way that I haven’t really come across before.

As a matter of fact, it didn’t register as tuberose to me straight away. It opens with the rooty, green, stemmy aspects of the flower, but I didn’t get the indols on first impression. It was like walking into a flower shop.

After a while I get this bubblegummy sensation that tuberose can have clearly. A bit sweet and I’d say perhaps a tad smoky as well. It’s still not as astringent or harsh as tuberose often is. It feels like quite a dry take on scent-profile.

Not my favorite from the line, but another good release.
