Dark Tales Tuberose Noir - Volume I
Dark Tales Tuberose Noir - Volume I is a rich unisex fragrance by the Swedish brand Dark Tales, released in 2019.
The fragrance comes in a Perfume (Extrait) concentration and belongs to the floral family, presenting it in an expressive, deep and pronounced manner.
The name Tuberose Noir promises a striking white-floral character, yet the composition is not limited to tuberose alone.
Here, the floral theme is contrasted by fresh, green, fruity, spicy, sweet and woody nuances, giving the fragrance a layered character rather than making it feel like a simple variation on the classic white flower theme.
Fragrance Pyramid and Development
The composition opens with coconut and petitgrain.
The soft, creamy-fruity nuance of coconut meets the green citrus freshness of petitgrain, creating an unusual opening with a marked contrast between exotic roundness and cool energy.
At the heart, tuberose is especially important, supported by sambac jasmine, ylang-ylang, magnolia, pink lotus and iris.
The white-floral accord is lush and expressive, while iris lends it a more powdery, cool and slightly detached character.
As a result, the heart balances sensual floral richness with elegant, almost airy smoothness.
As the fragrance develops, the flowers gradually move into a woody-green base.
Buddha wood, mate, hay and carrot seeds create a dry, herbaceous and slightly spicy backdrop that makes the white flowers stand out even more.
The finish does not end abruptly, leaving behind a warm, textured and distinctive impression.
Character, Sillage and Wearability
Dark Tales Tuberose Noir - Volume I is positioned as a fragrance for women and men who appreciate expressive floral compositions with an unusual green-woody contrast.
This is neither an intimate nor a neutral perfume: its very powerful sillage makes it noticeable in a space, so a light hand and careful application are especially appropriate.
The fragrance may be particularly impressive in the evening, during cooler seasons and in situations that call for a rich, pronounced perfume presence.
In warm weather, the white-floral aspect will become brighter and the coconut-floral accent more noticeable, so it is best applied sparingly in summer.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided; it is best to determine the optimal amount gradually, starting with a single spray.
The Fragrance in the Dark Tales Style
The Swedish brand Dark Tales approaches perfumery with an atmospheric and contrasting sensibility, and Tuberose Noir - Volume I fits this aesthetic well.
The release combines the recognizable power of white flowers with less obvious accents—mate, hay, carrot seeds and Buddha wood—making the composition bolder and more complex than familiar floral fragrances.
No information is available about the perfumer, a separate collection or other concentrations of this fragrance.
