Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
How it Smells
"White as Tuberose" opens with a burst of crushed green leaves, mimicking the Guerlain original's fresh start. It's not quite as refined, a touch sharper around the edges, but the intention is clear. The tuberose heart blooms quickly, joined by a creamy lily and indolic jasmine. Here, it's maybe 84% of "Joyeuse Tubereuse". This clone misses some of the Guerlain's airy sophistication, becoming a bit denser, a little sweeter. The drydown is a comforting vanilla sandalwood, with a hint of vetiver adding earthiness. It's a pleasant finish, although the original's delicate musk is less pronounced here.
Is it Worth It?
This is for the individual who appreciates tuberose's flirtatious charm without the luxury price tag. Someone who wants to project an image of carefree elegance, not necessarily old-world sophistication. If you crave the *exact* Guerlain experience, spring for the original. But if you want a solid, wearable tuberose scent that captures the spirit, and you're okay with a slightly more synthetic vibe, "White as Tuberose" is a worthwhile gamble.
The Performance Stats
Lasting power is decent. Expect around 5-6 hours on skin, projecting moderately for the first hour before settling closer. On clothes, it clings for a bit longer. This isn't a room-filler, but it creates a noticeable personal bubble.
