Tuberose absolute is a highly concentrated aromatic oil extracted from the flowers of the tuberose plant (Polianthes tuberosa), a night-blooming perennial native to Mexico. The extraction process typically involves solvent extraction, yielding an oil that is rich, intense, and more viscous than essential oils.
The scent profile of tuberose absolute is deep, intoxicating, and complex. It is predominantly floral, with a creamy, lush sweetness reminiscent of white petals. Its fragrance is also described as having layers of warm, exotic, and somewhat spicy undertones that add to its richness. Tuberose is often associated with notes of jasmine and gardenia but is heavier and more voluptuous, with a slightly earthy base that gives it a sensual and luxurious character.
Due to its powerful and seductive aroma, tuberose absolute is a popular choice in the fragrance industry, especially in the creation of perfumes and scented products aimed at conveying opulence and sensuality. It's a favorite for evening scents and is often blended with other floral, musky, or woody notes to create sophisticated, long-lasting fragrances.
