Tuberosa

Inspired by the tuberose native to Mexico, this Eau de Cologne opens with a luminous bouquet of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and bitter orange, then unfolds into a heart of tuberose, black pepper, and cloves. A warm base of cedarwood, benzoin, sandalwood, and storax lingers, evoking the flower's intense evening fragrance and its sensual allure.

About This Fragrance

Tuberose, native to India and Mexico, reached Europe around 1500. Its white flowers bloom in clusters and release an intense fragrance at sunset, often associated with sensuality. Santa Maria Novella captures this essence in an Eau de Cologne that blends bright florals with spices, creating an alluring scent reminiscent of twilight.
