Joyeuse Tubéreuse belongs to Guerlain's L'Art & La Matière. Delphine Jelk set out to do the opposite of the usual heavy, heady tuberose and show it green and light; the house likens it to an impressionist painting.
Tuberose absolute is surrounded by green notes, then carried by vetiver, sandalwood and ambrette.

Joyeuse Tubéreuse in detail
Joyeuse Tubéreuse belongs to Guerlain's L'Art & La Matière. Delphine Jelk wanted to show tuberose as something other than heady: fresh, green and luminous, as it smells in the fields. The house compares it to the impressionist paintings collected by Jacques Guerlain. Volute files it among florals.
Guerlain lists its notes without sorting them into tiers. Tuberose absolute, extracted in India according to the house, is surrounded by green notes that make it smell freshly picked. Vetiver, sandalwood and ambrette then give it a soft, sensual base.
Joyeuse Tubéreuse suits spring and summer, by day; its green notes keep the flower light and luminous. It stands apart from heavier, sweeter tuberoses, which are often kept for the evening.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Elysium Absolue by Roja Parfums shares tuberose, vetiver and sandalwood; Night Scented Jasmine by Floris finds green notes, sandalwood and vetiver again; Adare by Memo Paris pairs tuberose and sandalwood.
