The tuberose in its name promises one thing, but Bvlgari Splendida Tubereuse Mystique Perfume opens somewhere stranger, black currant and davana striking an unusual, fruity top, intriguing, mysterious and confident. Tuberose alone carries the core in a single white floral note. Vanilla absolute and myrrh hold the drydown in warm, resinous depth that lingers pleasantly for many hours afterward.
Committing this fully to tuberose as a single core note is a considerable act of faith, that one flower trusted to carry real emotional weight without any supporting cast at all. Nothing about this one feels sparse despite how few notes it asks for. Reverent, mysterious and utterly singular.
Splendida Tubereuse Mystique Perfume belongs to easy, pretty daytime moments, a floral amber Eau de Parfum through and through. Comfortable, dependable and unmistakably Bvlgari, Splendida Tubereuse Mystique Perfume wears exactly as promised.
