This week is all about discovering the breadth of Tuberose fragrances: the creamy, the fruity, the metallic and the narcotic. We also chat about a recent column from Jessica DeFino on strong smells, and an Ottoman lost artisanal profession (aka, the ultimate vibe curators): incense burning.

Fragrances mentioned:

Tuberoza / Nishane

Narcotic V. / Nasomatto

Honor Woman 43 / Amouage

Café Tuberosa / Atelier Cologne

Tubereuse / Headspace

Tuberose & Moss / Rogue Perfumery

Eshaal & Pichola / Neela Vermeire Creations

Tuberose Tantra / Kismet Olfactive

Moonwake Tuberose / Nomad Noé
