In fact, originally, it wasn't even called "Tubéreuse" at all, but the working title was copyrighted and they couldn't use it.<br /><br />I have a sample of Tubéreuse Couture but don't know the scent well. I think if it doesn't get more recognition, it's that it's facing very stiff competition. Tuberose is a star, and it creates star fragrances.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-75342971251679407072010-05-23T00:50:46.157+02:002010-05-23T00:50:46.157+02:00It's wonderful.

Love the sillage on this one -- lovely. <br /><br />Criminelle is still numero uno for me, with Carnal Flower in second, but this could well be third and perhaps even move up from there, I like it so much. I like it better than the AG, which I also just recently received in a split. <br /><br />I do wish that Tubereuse Couture got a bit more love -- deserves to be far better known than it is IMHO.popcartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01116937135795837601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-37997151755891623802010-05-22T22:39:43.332+02:002010-05-22T22:39:43.332+02:00Carter, so happy you love it!

You know, I'm sure, how much this means to us all.<br /><br />You know, I bought a split of Nuit de Tuberose unsniffed and unavailable for weeks after just on the strength of your review. That's the kind of influence you have over me. xoxox<br /><br />I understand how that must be, to write the first review. Opinions can be modified by other perspectives, either new ones of our own or from other people. I love that you CAN get the scoop so often. It's exciting for us, and I think all of us understand that while it might be your first word on a fragrance, it's not necessarily your last!Robin R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14821740734278429017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-86475216485066665142010-05-22T16:21:48.377+02:002010-05-22T16:21:48.377+02:00Great idea!

I'm the one who came up with the idea of the feedback post though: it seemed like a logical consequence.<br /><br />I also like it that the whole thing came about spontaneously, though afterwards I'll need to think whether this could be a regular feature or if that'll come off as playing into brand marketing.
