TUBÉREUSE IMPÉRIALE

BDK Parfums signs Tubéreuse Impériale, a unisex eau de parfum with oriental floral facets, blending sensuality and modernity in a mystical, charismatic composition.

The Fragrance

Tubéreuse Impériale is born from an almost regal inspiration: BDK Parfums imagines a sovereign figure wearing a crown of tuberose, the flower that makes every other bloom envious, to tell in a single composition its solar, sensual aura. Perfumer Cécile Matton wanted a refined fragrance, able to capture the full carnal charm of tuberose on a deep oriental base, without ever feeling excessive.

How It Evolves on Skin

Tubéreuse Impériale opens with pink pepper and Egyptian geranium, a bright, lightly spicy entrance. The heart brings Indian tuberose, ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac, iris and Egyptian jasmine, for an intense, enveloping white floral passage. The base settles on cashmeran, sandalwood, incense, Madagascan vanilla, Singaporean patchouli, benzoin and cypress, closing with a warm, oriental, long-lasting finish.

Who We Recommend Tubéreuse Impériale To

Tubéreuse Impériale is made for those who love white flowers taken in a rich, oriental direction, without ever tipping into cloying sweetness. It's perfect for those looking for an elegant daytime fragrance that still leaves a clear impression, and for those who love floral compositions with a warm, enveloping base.

Fragrance Characteristics

Our Opinion

What stands out most as soon as you try it is how elegant it manages to stay while starting from a flower that, in other interpretations, easily turns overwhelming: here the result is full but never excessive, the kind that gets noticed without shouting. It's a fragrance that tends to win people over more on the second spray than the first, once its true personality comes through.

• Yasmina, Kajal — echoes the jasmine and iris, in a more leathery, ambery guise.

FAQ

Where does the name Tubéreuse Impériale come from?
From BDK Parfums' official poetic narrative: a sovereign figure wearing a crown of tuberose, "the flower that makes every other bloom envious" — true to the brand's style, which tells each fragrance as a chapter of its own "olfactory library".

How does it differ from Wood Jasmin, the brand's other BDK Parfums floral?
Wood Jasmin is woodier and greener, opening with plum and pear; Tubéreuse Impériale puts solar tuberose at its centre on a creamier base of cashmeran and incense, making it more opulent and, fittingly, more "imperial" in character.

Which BDK Parfums collection does Tubéreuse Impériale belong to?
It's part of the brand's Collection Matières, dedicated to telling the story of a single prized raw material in its purest expression: here, tuberose, signed by perfumer Cécile Matton in 2016.
