by Bvlgari
Splendida Tubereuse Mystique by Bvlgari unfolds as a creamy, opulent floral gourmand with a mysterious, smoky backbone. The opening features a sweet, slightly boozy burst of black currant, davana, and a green herbal note, which some find an initial clash. After 15 to 30 minutes, the fragrance mellows into a rich, aromatic tuberose core accented with vanilla and myrrh, creating a warm, velvety, and deeply sensual drydown. The scent develops most fully in cooler weather, blossoming into a luxurious, evening-ready perfume. It features moderate sillage and good longevity, especially after a few hours, though some reports note a decline after three hours. A blend of sweetness, ambery depth, and a hint of throaty myrrh creates an elegant, decadent aura—reminiscent of satin, velvet, and shadowed candlelight. Its standout quality is its layered evolution, transforming from an initially sweet, fruity opening into a profoundly creamy, resinous tuberose experience, ideal for sophisticated, confident women seeking a modern, mysterious floral. It performs best in autumn and winter, where its richness feels indulgent and comforting.
