by Guerlain
Joyeuse Tubéreuse by Guerlain is a refined, green-tinged white floral fragrance centered around tuberose, jasmine, and lily, gently balanced with vanilla and sandalwood. It opens with a crisp, dewy green note reminiscent of cut stems, lending it a fresh, airy quality that feels both delicate and deliberate. The heart unfolds into a soft, creamy bouquet of white flowers—lily and jasmine are particularly prominent—blended with a light vanilla that adds warmth without sweetness overwhelming the composition. The base features smooth sandalwood and vetiver, though vetiver is only faintly detectable. On the skin, the fragrance settles close and intimate, with a moderate sillage that increases slightly with body heat. It has a vertical, uplifting presence rather than a crushing or bold one, making it ideal for daytime wear and warm weather. Despite its elegance, longevity is inconsistent and generally moderate, fading within a few hours even with generous application. The scent is most appreciated for its sophisticated blend, ease of wear, and its gentle introduction to the tuberose note.
