Tubereuse Noir Zara for women and men

I purchased a few fragrances from Zara during a big holiday sale a few years ago. The one I fell in love with the Fleur d'Oranger by Jo Malone. It actually smelled better to me than the orange blossom scent from her own line, and unlike that, lasted forever on me. It is very similar to Fragonard's orange blossom scents, but a little sweeter. So, if you like that type of orange blossom scent you should like the one from Zara too.
Two others I purchased (Waterlily Tea Dress and Elegantly Tokyo) I wound up giving away to my nieces since they fit them better than me, but by the time I got around to trying this one I had become nose blind from trying all the fragrances I received. All I could smell was straight up tuberose. I put it away to try another day and literally forgot all about it. Stumbling around my perfume cabinet I came across it and realized that I never did give it a full wear, so today was the day.
First off, for a Jo Malone fragrance this is surprisingly strong and performs great. Just a few sprays got you covered all day. I'm not too happy when I first spray this as all I get is a dry tuberose. But give it a little time and the ylang comes through, sweetening things up a bit. It is when the sandalwood comes though that the action begins, and it adds so much to this fragrance. Suddenly, it's fuller, more well-rounded, becomes very creamy and slightly powdery. That has me scratching my head because there is no way that only one note can add so much to this scent, so there has to be other notes in here that are not listed, but for the life of me I cannot make out what they are. Whatever the case, for a tuberose perfume this is a very clean, sophisticated polished scent that unlike most tuberose perfumes is a little understated and low key making it wearable just about everywhere outside of special events. For that I would wear something a little more extravagant, but for work or anywhere you don't want your fragrance announcing your presence, this is a really nice perfume. I don't think I'll be ignoring this perfume anymore.

anyone wanna buy the 40ml of this perfume from me?

I'm personally a huge fan of tuberose, I love the way it's blended for Do Son and Gucci Bloom. This is a gorgeous scent in the lineup for Jo Malone x Zara, quite long lasting and great value for price. Especially love the ylang slang addition, very intoxicating and well-rounded fragrance!

A lovely tuberose quasi-soliflore, created by Jo Malone for Zara and well worth the price on eBay and other discounters. I like it as much, if not more than other tuberose-heavy fragrances I own. While not a masterpiece, it's an enjoyable perfume for white floral lovers. People with sensitivities to white florals, especially to tuberose should stay away. This is pretty potent at first, and though it calms down after a while, I imagine it would still be headache inducing.
As for me, I like it very much, and think it compares favorably to many of the offerings in Jo's own line - not all of them, but many.
PS - to me this clean. I don't get any indole at all. It also has good longevity and sillage, so there is no need to over spray.

Was very surprised by how intense and long lasting this fragrance smelled after my first try. It even put me off after that first time.

Then I tried it again on my partner and now I just can’t stop smelling him whenever he’s using it.
Just a word of advice, you only need a little of it and please don’t over spray…

I'm surprised by this, I really thought it would smell like Gucci Bloom given the reviews. It doesn't at all!
It's a very photorealistic tuberose, as if you were sniffing it in the garden. There is no sweetness or smoothness added to it, so it has quite a bitter, green undertone like the freshly picked stem of a flower.

It's fresh and interesting, but the sharpness of the tuberose has a strong ammonia scent to me, like cat pee.
5/10.

This is so indolic, just one of the most indolic I've smelled. No bublegum detected.

Green and bitter tuberose. No sweetness whatsoever.
And this smells nothing like Gucci Bloom.
Nevertheless, I kinda like it.
Worth owning a smaller size bottle.

Competently formulated. For me, it’s a bit soapy and too sweet though.

Update: 07/23/2023. I sprayed again. This time it does not come off too cloying. I think it would layer well with a dry rose perfume.

I’m a dude who believes that almost every perfume and cologne can be unisex, but this is leaning more towards a girlish, gentle and soft idea. My mom loves this so that gives you an idea on who the audience is.

I sprayed this 11 in the morning and right now it is 9 in the evening, and I can still smell it pretty good. I’d say it would have its last breath at around 12 hours.

Very nice floral, clean and soft scent. What I want my girlfriend (if I ever have one LOL) to smell like.

Smells like a blend of rubber tires, flowers and baby powder. It's super floral, outdated, powdery and I cannot imagine anyone under the age of 70 wearing this.

Edit: I've let my bottle sit on the shelf for a while and now it has developed a less offensive and sweet bubblegum smell that other reviewers talk about. If the perfume doesn't smell "quite right" maybe let it sit for a bit. I still can't stand wearing it though.

I have too many outstanding tuberose fragrances. This is simple straightforward tuberose that literally smells like bubblegum backed up by tropical creamy ylang ylang. But it’s very simple. It really can’t compete with my Marfa, BDK TI, Carnal Flower, or my Datura Noir. The longevity on this one isn’t great either. It’s fine but I won’t repurchase it.

tubereuse noir is a creamy, bubblegum, tuberose scent.
juicy fruit gum in fragrance form lol

this one makes me happy!

For a Zara perfume it's pretty excellent! A really qualitative tuberose , indolic , fresh, creamy ... unisex.
It's a bargain and the best of Jo Malone for this brand with the gorgeous Leather Jardin

Pretty delicate gorgeous white fresh tuberose, so clean and I love this as a base for me to layer on Amalfi Sunray by Jo Malone (for Zara) and Bohemian Bluebells. I use a lot of Tuberose Noir, 6-8 sprays, as the base for this layering combination. It's so pretty and feminine and lightens up the gorgeous mist of scent that is created.

This is a luxurious scent, white, light and as pretty and complex as a stem of blooming tuberose in a crystal vase of fresh water in the window of a 5-million dollar mansion overlooking the ocean.

this is pretty standard tuberose. i like this more than gucci bloom because i hate jasmine. the opening was kind of harsh, i got an animalic amber but that went away quickly. dark green and tropical floral scent.

Very similar to Gucci bloom but not as strong. easier to use but not particularly impressive, mass, forgettable. No personal imprint, not suitable for hot summer.

The opening has a sniff of balmy sandalwood but after that it's all pure tuberose which is quite impressively natural and realistic esp at the price point (less than $20 for a whopping 90ml). In where I live tuberose scent is often associated with haunted graveyards and ghosts so I guess that's noir lol.

I’m not sure where the “noir” comes from in the title because it’s a pretty straightforward floral. It’s pretty, elegant and clean but not very interesting. This is something I would wear on a daytime date. It doesn’t last long at all.

When I wear this perfume I feel rich, luxurious as if I am watching a sunset in an expensive resort

green tuberose, pretty and lineal, I purchased just to layer and amplify the green aspects of the flower of a few tuberose fragrances I own.

I need to put this away and try it again in cooler months. It may be that I love tuberose IN perfumes (L'Interdit is divine) but not on it's own. I find this fragrance heady and strong and off putting. I will play with it again in the fall and if it's still a no go, I'm sure I can pass it on to a true Tuberose lover. :)

bright sunny tuberose, nothing “noir” about this. dry down is sooo good but longevity is maybe 2 hours. doesn’t smell like gucci bloom to me.

Very similar to Ellie Saab le parfum I smell Florals and almonds . It’s kind of more of a mature scent with a modern twist

I'm a lover of white florals, big white florals, and anything with white flowers in the notes.
So this is a simple one-note soliflore with low-to-moderate (maybe 2 hours?) longevity.

If you're just wading in to white florals and aren't sure about tuberose, this is a great place to start. If you don't like it, it's gone from skin in 2-3 hours max. Maybe a bit longer on clothes. So it's a low-commitment white floral. :-)

For me, the price (40ml) in $USD was good, but I'll probably sell it because I have other big, white florals that do the job better and last longer. Plus, after about 2 hours, I noticed an undertone of .... plastic? Something oddly synthetic in the dry-down. Not awful. Just weird.

Also: as someone else below said: there is nothing "noir" about the tuberose in here. No oud, leather, or other masculine-leaning note(s) that would make the fragrance feel "noir" or dark.

Not sure why they added the "noir" nomenclature.

And also the person who mentioned the lack of adjective agreement with the noun it modifies: also spot-on!
Tuberose is a feminine noun (uses "la") which means the noir should have an "e" at the end. But correct grammar these days (I'm looking at you, English native speakers), is often too much to ask for.

Someone in the UK or Spain didn't do their French grammar homework..... :-)

Just returned from a visit to both Zara and Sephora. Gucci Bloom is similar, but heavier on the Jasmine. Same thing with Bloom Neroli. Tuberose Noir is a better scent and ultimately the one I ended up purchasing :). I would say on the scent, it is very nice, really gorgeous even. It did take some build up to heavy white florals as previously I might've said this was too strong. But I'm really liking it now. Would like if it was just a tad more creamy and a had bit more of the sweet aspect of tuberose. I would recommend it though, easy to wear and great price.

Gucci Bloom, watered down.

The blend of everything that surrounds the prominent tuberose in Gucci Bloom with nothing overpowers each other. For someone who's falling head over heels, Tubereuse Noir is not enchanting enough to be an alternative.

Perfumer: Jo Malone

Nobody has mentioned this, so I may be absolutely wrong, but I feel this has Another 13 by Le Labo vibes? Not my fragrance style, but worth checking out for price reasons. Lasts decently long for a £15 fragrance.

Love the opening but the dry down is not my fave.
5/10

Clean tuberose, very similar to Elie Saab's Essence No. 9 Tuberose for 1/3 the pice! For me it lacks depth on its own, I think it's a good idea to layer it with other fragrances.

As a perfume addict I absolutely love discovery sets. In terms of hours of enjoyment it's much better entertainment value than a ticket to go see a movie. If you're a fan of any of Jo Malone's fragrances at her former (Jo Malone) or current (Jo Loves) brand I highly recommend the Zara Emotions Discovery Set. None are exact dupes of her previous works, but several will get you very close for a much lower price point. I have not tried any of Zara's other fragrances, but these specifically are quite well done. Each has a relatively simple composition which is for the best when you're trying to do things on a limited budget, and each is very true to Jo Malone's aesthetic as a perfumer.

All of the fragrances are very good value, but both Ebony Wood and Tubereuse Noir especially smell much more expensive than they are. I'm not a huge fan of tubereuse fragrances, but this absolutely captures the rich, sweet, indolic, sexy scent that is the essence of tubereuse.

Smells v similar to Do Son (I have both). A heavy floral that is extraordinarily long lasting

I hate this. Makes me smell old and musty, with a fake clean smell like I haven’t washed in 50 years and I’m covering up with powdery deodorant.
All I can smell is soap and overpowering hyacinth, not nice at all. Blind buy and pretty disappointed as it’s not what I was expecting, stupidly got the big size too - at least the bottle is pretty so it can sit on my shelf never to be used. I don’t even have any friends I dislike enough to give this away to

Similar to Do Son but beast mode and a little too much Ylang. I prefer Do Son but this isn't bad!

This smells like mysterious magical thing happening inside the narrow alleys of England. Cold and stones are damp from the rain. Everyone’s at home but this has a tranquility and it’s sort of an escapist scent. It’s kind of otherworldly (some may say wtf).
I like tuberose and it has a very bittersweet feeling in my psyche. Therefore what I say here is very personalised but it reminds you of a dark night in the most magical and exciting way.

This is my second Zara-Malone fragrance and you probably already know I'm the president of the "I Hate Zara" club.
I went to the Zara store to seek out the Jo-Inspired "city" bottles (New York, Tokyo, Shang-hi, etc.) and they were nowhere to be found. So I sampled the other line and this was my favorite. It's nothing ground-shattering - but if you like tuberose ; this is a bright slightly sweet version. The smell & quality is way above what I paid for a big 3.4 oz. (the price said $39.95, but when rung up - it was $32.95 and I was all "Are these on sale?" and they were all "Just a pricing mistake". Whatever.) . Niche-y feeling for T.J. Maxx price sticker.
Longevity is average - but for the price - spritz away! I love this line and hope it stays around for a while! Safe blind buy if you love tuberose. P.S. As others have said ; the DRY DOWN on this is lovely (How friggin' IRONIC as the dry-downs on regular Zara fragrances are total dish-water!) This smells NOTHING like Gucci Bloom.

I keep going back and forth between "like" and "love" for this fragrance.
It smelled really pretty and sweet on the scent strip, cheerful and feminine. Couldn't resist purchasing. Upon trying it, the scent was pretty overpowering on my skin, and the Ylang Ylang note was a tad too strong for me.
Tried layering with B&BW At the Beach, it kind of tone the sweetness/ylang ylang down a notch and added a little someth that I can't quite describe, which I liked.
Tried it for the second time today, and found the smell beginning to grow on me. Still not fond of the initial burst but the dry down is really great.
However... After just one hour it has become more of a skin scent and I can barely smell it ): wish the longevity/sillage was better, fleur de patchouli's from the same line was great!

It was so overbearing when I first sprayed it on, after one hour it is really nice.

Very strong, linear tuberose. There's definitely nothing "noir" about this. I'm not sure why I convinced myself I'd like this. It's so, so similar to Diptyque Du Son, or Kim K's first perfume, and I don't like them. I think it's because I love the smell of jasmine, I keep thinking I will like tuberose as much. The longevity on this seems pretty good, sillage less so. If you're after tuberose on a budget I'd go with Kim Kardashian.

I just received my bottle today. At first sniff, I wasn’t too sure I liked it? After letting it sit on my skin for about 5 minutes, it hit me, it smells exactly like another fragrance I absolutely love, KKW Jeff Leathem Desert Rose! Exactly! It also smells like Bond No 9 Central Park West which I absolutely love. I get beachy, summery vibes from it. Woody white florals & the sweet ylang ylang make it perfect for summertime, day or night. I definitely think this is a subjective scent, you either will like it or hate it, so I wouldn’t recommend as a safe blind buy.

In 2019 I tried this at the Zara store and I said to myself "This is not for me!" but today (2021) I went back to the same store and tried it on my wrist and I said "WTH! Why do I skip it, this is such a beautiful tuberose!!!!" then I buy it immediately and all the way back home I cannot sniff my wrist. It opens with super fresh tuberose and it reminds me to the scent from the candle "Tubereuse" by Diptyque but in the other way it still reminds me to Do Son that mixed with EDT and EDP version! This wow for me but I still don't know why I didn't like it in the past, maybe it smells 70% like Do Son (EDP) which I prefer (EDT) more but right now fall in love so deep with "Tubereuse Noir".

It seems this is a rival of her own signature of JML French Lime Blossom. Great that she created this for Zara as the JML had discontinued theirs. I love the scent especially when it dries down...clean and crisp scent that I can wear even if it was meant for women's line :-)

I am not usually a fan of tuberose, not that I dislike the smell - I quite like it enjoy it - but I associate it to an old fashion - mature lady vide. So this isn't something I'd wear. This fragrance is neither something I'd wear, simply it isn't my style, but I like how the ylang Ylang is blended to tuberose, giving a softer, rounder edge in particular during the dry down. A pleasant interpretation of tuberose. Unfortunately, lasting power and sillage seemed both weak .

Far too indolic for me, smells unpleasant. Unfortunately, had to wash it off, really wasn’t for me

There's nothing noir about this fragrance. It smells sweet, soapy and clean. As soon as I sampled it it reminded me of bubblegum.

I do have a bottle of Prada Candy I got as a gift and since I'm not a huge fan of gourmands I prefer to layer it with Tuberose Angelica, by Jo Malone, to give it a floral kick. TN smells like a similar combination of flowers and candy. It reminds me of the book Lolita.

It doesn't last long, 2 hours at most, and it's more of a skin scent. It's pleasant and a safe blind buy for tuberose fans, but as it's the case with most Jo Malone fragrances for me, I think I would rather have this as a body wash or body lotion instead of a perfume.

Green jasmine that ends up feeling too matronly for my taste. It smells good but I don’t like it on me because this type of scent tends to give me headaches.

Start with a smell of acrylic house paint, sorry not sorry, minutes later of that it's when the flower starts to come out, it's a white flower scent and the term "Noir" its a money grab one.

Quite thin and sharp opening on my skin, borderline screechy, takes awhile for ylang-ylang to come out and when it does, its quite shy. Wood base is also cool, so overall its slightly damp/springfresh floral. Longevity is decent though.

Depends on how you like your tuberose, so it may be a good thing that TN is not bubblegum sweet nor indolic, makes it appropriate for first non-scary dip into tuberose (I'm wearing Nasomatto V on the other hand right now and much much prefer slightly animalic lily-like nature and overall depth of Narcotic V.). Personally, I've struggled to finish my 10 ml of TN and will not re-purchase. Also, its weird to see Noir in the name, I see very cool lemon/lime yellow, even fluorescent fit instead of any dark colour.

Jo Malone's Zara line was made for layering, and imho this one benefits greatly from additional base-layer. I've layered TN over Ebony Wood that I also can't wear alone, and these 2 work and perform better together than either one individually.

a simple, non-creamy, slightly green tuberose soliflore and suitable for all stations and times of the day. absolutely unisex. if like me you are getting closer to tuberoses that are a little more feminine ... indolic ... this is a great start. really excellent performance and I didn't expect it. 9/10

Tuberose tends to be quite a divisive note in fragrance, given its intensity. Heady and old-fashioned, sometimes harsh, sometimes cloying, it needs to be handled adeptly to work. I was keen to try this iteration by the generally adept Jo Malone, but unfortunately, it is not a tuberose scent for me.

Tubéreuse Noir (Shouldn't it be Noire? I'm not happy about this error in the name, but that's for another day) opens with a surprising blast of sweet yet fleeting ylang-ylang, joined by the strong, waxy tuberose a little later. The white floral accord is clean instead of indolic. The overbearing tuberose takes over, and is quite sharp, even harsh, with a hint of stem-like greenness. While the tuberose smells realistic, it is too harsh to be pleasant, even potentially headache-inducing.

TN improves as it dries down, softening a little, with soft woody notes tempering the loud white florals somewhat. It fades to a woody-tuberose skin scent, but never quite relinquishes its sharpness. It is a simple, everyday white floral that is not cloying or synthetic, but its sharp corners make this scent fairly unpleasant overall. Better performance than the rest in this line. Blindingly white, there's nothing "noir" about this. 1.5/5.

I’m not usually a tuberose fan. I often find it heavy, heady and more suited to the ‘older lady’.

Tuberose noir is good. It’s has a prominent ylang ylang blast at the initial spray which brightens the opening & then the tuberose comes in. It then stays pretty linear the whole way through- although perhaps sharpens ever so slightly in the mid which is my least favourite part of the fragrance. (It’s becomes a perfumey tuberose). The dry down is really nice, creamy and warm and I pick up on the sandalwood! (It’s not as creamy or sensual as rouge malachite but heads in that direction). This has great projection and the longevity is pretty good too - especially if sprayed on clothes. I find the Jo Malone collaboration with Zara pretty good, a wide range of fragrances that perform well and are affordable - it just comes down to personal taste.

Tuberose has come back into use in recent years, thanks to a modern reinterpretation of its heady scent. Its waxy white petals offer some of the most enticing notes in the world of fragrances - powerful, seductive, and exquisite. Percy Bysshe Shelley immortalized it in poetry as "the sweetest flower for a scent that blows." It is a tricky thing; you think it's innocent, but it's dangerous. I love tuberose, that's true, yet they have already done well all great tuberoses, for example, Tubereuse Criminelle, Fracas, Beyond Love, and Carnal Flower, don't they? Yet now and then, new tuberose pops up that brings something new to the table, different from all these genuinely wonderful things above. Jo Malone's image of casual elegance and minimalism gave the ZARA brand a plus. The bottles are simple, handy, the off-white packaging has a retro appeal, and it presents the collection in a way that eliminates the intimidating factor. Jo usually bases scents on single-note ideas such as rose, grapefruit, bellflower, or in combinations that are trendy or reassuring, for instance, oud, pear and freesia, tea and bergamot, and so forth. With Tubereuse Noir, she built the perfume around the contrast of sensual white flowers and creamy woods.

Let's dive into the Tubereuse Noir. The starting point is intriguing because you experience the petals' delicate softness against the dark and wealthy background. At first, Tubereuse Noir feels sparkle, with plenty of juicy citruses and mellifluous ylang-ylang to create a sweet shimmering effect. There is a crisp, bitter green in the background; I seem to catch a hint of absinthe, earthy, and aromatic with a herbaceous edge that gives a sophisticated accent to the scent. So, it's sweet, but not dramatically or overly sweet. Angelica, which takes more of a back seat to the tuberose behind the wheel, adds a peppery look and a crisp green feel.

Let the pepper and green nuances of the top notes fade; the clean jasmine and dewy tuberose set the crucial stage. The heart is heavy on these floral notes' fatty and milky nuances, rather than anything animalic and sweaty. Both the intoxicating white blooms are renowned for their sumptuous, sensual scent that leaves a beautiful trail. The fact is that tuberose can be pretty demanding and dominates every air molecule it comes into contact with. In here, it is slightly buttery, but not too much to become heady or narcotic. The middle stay is a megillah scroll, and it goes on for hours.

The darkness I mentioned earlier comes thanks to some smooth woods, the amber, and sandalwood that compose the base. It is a similar twist used in the perfumes mentioned earlier, but Tubereuse Noir never even gets close to being a femme fatale. The dry-down features a woody note with an amber-like scent that brings addictive warmth and sensuality to the fragrance.

The tuberose here is quite realistic to me, more green than buttery, and it isn't too sweet. The deeper it sits on the skin, the more diminished the character becomes. The tuberose with its coconut milk-like vibe and amber are still there, and Tubereuse Noir unexpectedly lasts further than many other ZARA offerings. Still, it stops being distinctive after about a few hours. You end up with yet another nice white floral with an oriental twist, which is not bad. It's a fragrance that is effortless and pretty, wearable and undemanding. It also brings a novelty to the universe of tuberose that I've not seen before, precisely the silky, lactonic texture. Men should try this. I am wearing it today, so I just wanted to mention that it's genderless. It is versatile during the middle seasons, daily and nightly occasions on crisp spring and fall months.

I base this review on a 100ml bottle that I have owned since November 2019.

heavenly tuberose and strong perfume. one or two spritz is enough to makes you smells good

Ylang-ylang stole the attention on this. Don't get me wrong, I like ylang ylang but I was here for the tuberose. Happy I only bought the roll on version. I also get a beach vibe from this ? Anyways, I will not buy a full bottle.

First impression: MMM Beach Walk. Not happy!
After 15 minutes: the florals start to weaken a little bit and a honey scent comes out. Pretty.
An hour later: creamy, almost like cookies and cream milkshake.
Two hours later: gone.

I gotta stop buying these cheapies...

I love tuberose. Zara Tuberose Noir does not work on my skin. It opens up very pretty tuberose, but ends up dry, smoky and sharp, smelling like ashtray or burnt wood on my skin. On a couple of days of wearing it, got a headache. Not my cup of tea.

This is a classical tuberose scent. It reminds me of Gucci Bloom but a bit watered down and not so heavy. The dry-down is nice. I like the smell of tuberose, but somehow I don't like to wear it on myself.

Beautiful!! As a certified White Floral Fan Girl, this is an ideal quick fix for me. The composition is mostly a plain and simple soliflor although sometimes I do get hints of jasmine tea in the background. Although it's a very natural, sweet, full and blooming tuberose, it is actually a little bit sexy. I can see this working equally well in winter as in spring/summer. It's very enjoyable to wear, albeit relatively short lived, but cheap enough for re-applications.

I grew up having Tuberose long gorgeous green stems around the house as long as they were in season and I have tried for a long time to find a scent that resembles nature as close as possible, but sadly all the ones I own or tested are too muffled and too blended for me to really enjoy the Tuberose.. But not this one!

This is as close as can be to the real thing..

A Tuberose in all its glory!

The Ylang is there and I can detect them both, the final result is superb. Sometimes it's just nice to keep it simple, 3 notes, great perfume..

I am really impressed that this came out of Zara, but no wonder since Jo Malone is the perfumer.

Feminine and absolutely floral scent. I like it so much.I made a blind buy but I didn't regret. It smells like walking in a flower garden but this garden only have Tuberose and Jasmine. Sweet, creamy Tuberose and Jasmin mix. Reminds me spring time.💛

I was so sure I was going to love this prior to the release by reading the description, but after an initial doubt at the store, I only bought the rollerball and after an everyday use for about two weeks, I ended up giving it to my mom who's more into floral.

Partly because it stays the same throughout the hours and this is a heavy floral perfume. Sometimes it triggers headache on me. I was expecting some kind of beautiful dry down, but there's almost none, so yeah. I don't even get the sandalwood.

However, this can be perfect for weddings.

Performance-wise, sillage is moderate, longevity I'd say about 4 hours.

I like it, but I don't love it!

Like the other Zara/JM collabs I've tried, it's got good sillage and longevity, to the point where I can't wash it off!

I love the opening of tuberose. Which is surprising, because I thought I was over tuberose - but this one is more subtle/smoky/grown-up, but not too intense, ie can be worn during the day

Base for me is a smoky tuberose, mostly quite smoky.

However today at dry down I got a sharp scent that surprised me; it's not unpleasant, but not what I want from this scent. Mostly though, it's tuberose and then smokiness.

It's a "meh" scent for me, but not bad enough to give away instantly. I'd rather wear Fleur D'Oranger from this line.
I'll probably end up giving this one away to a cousin.

Against all odds, I like it! I went for the 10ml roller becuse I thought this wouldn't be my cup of tea, but I was wrong. I was biased because I had in mind Gucci Bloom in its original version, which I find too floral for my tastes. Tubereuse Noire is a tuberose soliflore composition but it never becomes that in-your-face indolic bomb. Might be described as understated lushness. I love to pair this cozy little gem with chunky jumpers.

Smells great to start with but this triggered a sickening migraine within 1/2 and hour. I'm so glad I sprayed it on my scarf not my skin otherwise I would have suffered for days. Every Time I spray Zara fragrances I can smell all the chemicals which is very strange because the Primark fragrances do not reek of nasty chemicals like the Zara ones. I would have thought it would have been the other way around..

I love(d) this!

Traditional tuberose opening - strong and intoxicating, but dries down to a (gorgeous) rubbery, unisex, almost mushroom-y rot that I associate with a dying Gardenia. What can I say, I like the weird ones...

I also get the "smoke" vibe that @revleonardpayne mentioned. Along with a subtle "ashtray" note that people have accused EA's Splendor of having (not that the smells are similar).

If this was a dupe, I would say its a dupe of Gucci Bloom, but weirder, without the powder blast, drained of all sweetness, and heavier on the Tuberose.

I get no Ylang-Ylang or Sandalwood. In fact, I would have guessed a ton of Orris and some type of strange non-aromatic wood.

Don't avoid this because of my (potentially off-putting) review; I am sure most people would find this a simple, elegant, soliflore.

Relatively impressed with the longevity of the heart and base notes; they survived a shower and valiantly defeated a spritz of the indomitable Lust by Lush (an infamous Beast Mode nose-burner).

Projection and sillage are pretty average though, and the lovely top notes die down almost immediately.

(Also, totally subjective and therefore not strictly relevant, but I must add that I gave my brand new bottle away within a few hours of buying it - I ADORE Tuberose but it LOATHES me. Practically the only note, aside from Petitgrain that, on my own skin, gives me a headache and turns my stomach. Still don't regret buying it though, if only for the few minutes of happiness it gave me before the migraine set in. I strategically gifted it to a family member so that I could appreciate it on them!)

I was really looking forward to receiving my bottle. Zara has a name for bringing out good perfumes at reasonable prices. I was intrigued to note that the nose behind this one was none other than Jo Malone herself.

The first spray unnerved me a little. This was Tuberose with the volume turned up LOUD. It soon mellowed a little and I was expectimng the usual Jo Malone DNA (turns into a mild skin scent) but not this one.

It certainly tones down quite a bit but a smoky woodsy dry down appears which is quite lovely. Even at the end of the day, whiffs of smoky Tuberose still drift.

Overall quite lovely.

This is a very nice perfume. First of all i must say that if you are waiting for a jo Malone quality perfume this Zara línea is a bit far from them. While most JM perfumes are eau de Cologne these ones are eau de parfum and however the longevity is even weaker than on jo Malone ones. But a JM fragance costs more than 100€ while you can get these fragances for 20€ euros so they really worths the price and the quality is not bad, nice smell and moderate performance, Closer to the Zara one than to the jo Malone one and a little bit synthetic too.

In the case of tubereuse noir the tuberose smell is the one that i get the most. The smell is sweet but less than other tuberose perfumes like carnal flower by Frederic Malle which is much more creamy. TN by Zara remember me to melodie de l'amour by dusita perdones, more pwdery and soapy ir even to Jasmine noir by bvlgary.

I think the perfume is totally unisex. If you like tuberose you Will like the perfume and It doesnt Matter if you are a Man or a woman. Un adition It is a soft scent so is suitable for an every day use, better for a daily use than to wear at night.

It is a very good new that jo Malone colaborarte with Zara and that que can enjoy these wonderful fragances for only 20€!

I love smelling it on my skin so beautiful. Creamy tuberose with a bit woody smoky sandalwood in the background. Moderate sillage and longevity. Suits its name and worth a try

Beautiful leathery rubbery tuberose with a bit of smokiness, almost like dry tea leaves. True to its name, a dark tuberose scent. Really glad there's no pink fruity bubblegum creaminess here

This is delicious, fresh and sweet tuberose. Not heavy, not cloying, Just fresh and sparkling and wonderful. Longlasting.
I love it !!!!
It is worth its price.
