Tubéreuses Castane

Tubéreuses Castane from Lancôme pairs a white flower with a nutty, sweet warmth, giving gourmand and floral facets equal weight. Composed by Shyamala Maisondieu and released in 2016, it is worn by anyone.

Tuberose is the floral heart: creamy, heady and slightly buttery, one of the richest white flowers in perfumery. Chestnut gives the scent its unusual twist, adding a roasted, nutty, faintly smoky sweetness that recalls chestnuts warming in autumn. Tonka bean deepens this with a soft, almond-like, vanilla-tinged warmth that binds the flower and the nut together and gives the composition a smooth, comforting finish.

The result is a tuberose softened and made cosy, rather than bright or bold. Its roasted chestnut and tonka warmth point towards autumn and winter, evenings and quiet occasions, and it will appeal to anyone who enjoys rich white florals with a gourmand edge.
