Tuberose Absolute 3% Dilution is a concentrated extract derived from the flowers of the tuberose plant, known for its rich, floral, and creamy scent profile. In perfumery, it is often used to impart a lush, exotic character to compositions, particularly in floral bouquets and oriental fragrances. The dilution allows for easier handling and blending, making it suitable for various applications without overwhelming the formula. Tuberose is typically positioned in the heart or base of a fragrance, where its opulent and sensual qualities can be fully appreciated. However, it is important to note that tuberose contains certain allergens, which may require careful consideration in formulations, especially for products intended for leave-on applications. Regulatory guidelines, such as those from IFRA, may apply, and perfumers should be aware of any restrictions on usage levels to ensure compliance and safety in their creations. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
A diluted tuberose absolute — the intense, narcotic white-floral heart is softened by the 3% dilution, letting the creamy, waxy petal facets come forward alongside a green, slightly rubbery/camphoraceous top. Underneath sits a warm, honeyed floral depth typical of tuberose, less overwhelming than the neat absolute but still unmistakably heady.AI · claude-opus-4-7

The odor is extremely heavy-sweet, floral-honey-like with a distinct oily-fatty undertone that is partly due to the method of production. Tuberose Absolute from Concréte has a heavy floral, almost nauseatingly sweet, heavy and somewhat spicy odor, reminiscent of honeysuckle, peru balsam, orange flower absolute, ylang ylang residue fractions, stephanotis flowers, etc.
Tuberose Absolute is used—when available and when the cost allows for such extravagance—in high-class floral perfumes of the heaviest and sweetest types: frangipanni, stephanotis, caprifolium, lilac, heliotrope, gardenia, violet, and in heavy Oriental types, opopanax, in fantasy perfumes, etc.
The Absolute from Concréte is produced by alcohol washing of the petroleum ether extract of the flowers from the tuberose plant. The Absolute from Pommade is produced by alcohol washing of the 'pommade' which is prepared from the flowers by enfleurage.
