Joyeuse Tubéreuse Guerlain for women and men

Joyeuse Tubéreuse Guerlain
(Store test, first impression)

Natural Tuberose fragrance that not overly carnal and not bubble gummy.
More on natural side of thing. Mildly sweeten powdery vanilla base which is Guerlain's signature.

It just overshadow by Angelique noire by the same line.
You also got a few other option like Tuberose & Angelica from Jo Malone or Gardenia from Chanel.
I am not sold on this, actually. Only saver here is the Guerlain vanilla...

I might need a few revisit to find the charm of it but no this is just not for me in current stage.

Update 1… on Apr 21, 2024

5 days pass, then I crave the soft floral fragrance with hint of vanilla.
This is so wried by I just test a fragrance name “La Lune et Moi”, it is a local brand here in Thailand.

Matcha, Jasmine and Vanilla.
Suddenly, I feel it smells so good.
I doesn’t have these kind of interpretations in my collection.
(Majority was yeah, spicy vanilla white floral one).

Maybe, this is the time for it..
I will bidding this along with Angelique Noire again in May.
This might be the one too..

Extension 1 on May 3, 2024

I revisit Guerlain Boutique today. I just want to know her a bit more.
the body of Joyeuse Tuberose seems simple complexities at it finesse.

The natural white floral bouquet is dominant on quality smooth lite sandalwood and green side, wit vanilla powder… it smells clean, radiant with bouquet quality.

Sorry, please let me say something I should not compare buy Joyeuse tuberose pretty much.. Guerlain’s take on pretty white floral scent.
(MCD - Lucky, Chanel - Gardenia)
I quite prefers the route Guerlain even it slightly more perfumery take with slight old composition, but it’s blanc in old way.

When scent progress, it becomes Green Vanilla, but when Vanilla mellows out. You will notice mild indolic of this tuberose bouquet for sure, and yes.. it becomes tuberose solifores on Sandalwood as time pass by.

I would probably still consider this as floral and not complex (4 aspect I do got is powdery vanilla, tuberose bouquet, fresh green tone and Sandalwood) but scent is full of details.. it’s beautiful.

I am bidding this with Rose barbere. I will spray this again reconfirm my idea.

Yeah, idea of Sandalwood in White floral and vanilla, quite get me going. Inoffensive in anyway..

Extension 2 on May 5, 2024

I bring out my few Goutals in my collection to play, Un Matin d'Orage - Gardenia Passion…
I feel like, I don’t actually need Joyeuse Tuberose..

I means.. yes it is beautiful and it has uniqueness being Guerlain’s Vanilla and smooth Sandalwood in base..but..

Due to it lightness, I can’t justify how this is much different from finely craft white floral fragrance from other houses, it has almost similar longevity.

Plus, I will grab Curel Gardenia.
The whitefloral, musk also contains both element, I may miss a greenness a bit, but Curel Gardenia has musk that I belong to Guerlain only.

I am bidding farewell Joyeuse Tubéreuse from my buying list in May 2024, as of now.. 🥲

But I wish you may come back one day. ☺️

THIS is the floral fragrance I have been searching for. It’s soft, feminine, warm and cozy. Most florals I have tried are a blast in your face migraine inducing fragrance bomb but this is beautiful and sophisticated. I used up my testers and ordered a full bottle.

An ode to the white floral, imbued with lush green, finally a tuberose that is not ultra sweet or super indolic, no ylang here, to give a fruity aura that smells of banana, but an explosion of green and other white flowers such as lily and jasmine , which give the fragrance a fresh and overbearing floral tone at the same time, a tuberose that does not steal the scene as it is used to doing, but has to compete with other flowers that are not at all simple from an olfactory point of view, the mix is beautiful, vetiver and sandalwood that finish it all off, I can barely perceive the vanilla as it will serve to warm everything up, the green never leaves the scene completely but accompanies the perfume in a suffused way which I really like, sumptuous perfume, I can see it very well on a woman character, I love it

This fragrance is kind of remarkable. Beautiful. The greenness, the tuberose... it's like a banana with orange blossom. Beautiful ❤️

One of my favorite in this collection. When I smell this fragrance, I don't smell the perfume. I smell the real tuberose. I love wearing this one with Diptyque Philosykos EDP. Uplifting scent that give you comfort and happiness. Perfect for the cold, dark, gray winter with raining outside.

Elegant. And oh so fresh tuberose vanilla.

I do not usually jive with tuberose. It goes bubblegum-y on me. BUT THIS DOESN’T!
It reminds me of my childhood… resembling honeysuckles, but the most amazingly gorgeous jasmine and vanilla laced honeysuckles I have ever encountered.
It is very light. And sometimes I like that.

To sum it up:
This is a sheer sparkling enchanting floral that will never seem out of place in any situation.

It’s light and that’s part of its charm, but it is a skin scent after some time and if you don’t want something so soft and also aren’t comfortable with this price; that is understandable!

Definitely look around for cheaper prices , I got a bottle for a great price and it definitely helps justify getting this for me.

Good luck! This one is very magical to me!

Sugar-dusted, dewy, green tuberose and lily flowers on a spring morning.

Delicate and fleeting, too fleeting if I'm honest. It's criminally short-lived for the price, but it is so beautiful. It does have sligtly more projection than I first thought, but only for an hour or so.

As with most in the line, it's more than meets the eye at first. I'm gonna say it's a love, despite the performance. Perhaps you can't have such a sparkling, delicate beauty and expect it to belt out for hours on end.

Update - after a couple of hours, the florals are basically gone and I'm left with a creamy, tart vetiver scent, which is lovely, but totally unrelated to the opening. I still love it, ignoring the price (I didn't pay top dollar for it), but it's one of those scents where I'll crave the opening again one hour in, and so I could end up burning through it FAST.

Update: came back to this after months and the vanilla is super strong. The opening is pretty similar to Angéliques Noires. Perhaps I prefer it in cooler weather.

First of all, I am so glad there is no coconut in this. Second, this is a beautiful exploration of tuberose without the heady heaviness that sometimes accompanies this voluptuous flower note. Joyeuse is very green in its opening. It's similar to Serge Lutens "De Profundis" in the way that you get the entire flower complete with a sprinkling of soil. The greenery eventually settles into a powdery, creamy white floral and vanilla bouquet that sits close to the skin. It's a quality scent, has similar DNA to the LES EXCLUSIFS DE CHANEL line - smells expensive and sophisticated. Gorgeous. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't last long enough on my skin. I wish it had more longevity, but that being written, it's definitely at the very least sample worthy.

My favorite “cool temperature on an extremely sunny day” sandalwood scent. Day and night, close to my skin, accents of lily and vanilla. A creamy tuberose. A vacation from all my other bottles.

Oh my... this smells so expensive and like Heaven in a glorious and beautiful bottle (which you can now customize the cap of, by the way! Mine has a pretty pink ribbon around it.)

It starts off with a lovely green and herbal note at the top and then you smell the tuberose, lily and jasmine equally at the heart. It definitely should have been called "Joyeuse Florale Blanc" instead of "Joyeuse Tubéreuse," since none of these flowers dominate each other and are blended quite expertly. I'd say the same thing about the base notes at the end too, except that I can smell the vanilla and vetiver quite a bit more than the sandalwood, though, which is a good thing in my book, since I hate sandalwood!

Overall, it's a slightly herbal and moderately green white floral perfume with a subtle vanilla base. Quite lovely, I must say!

When talking about tuberose, I think of Rouge Malachite, Amouage love tuberose etc… This is not like that. I can’t really pick out any heavy/heady tuberose, it’s well blended with other (airier) white floral notes. This reminds me of Chanel gardenia if anything. There’s a hint of greenness and sweetness, very elegant!

So green and totally missing the bubblegum facet of tuberose that I love.

Equal parts 'green' and white floral. The tuberose is totally booming and sweet, but the green elements have toned it down. Alongside the tuberose, you can detect other white floral, especially lily and jasmine, and they both work well to provide an appropriate amount of 'top' to this scent.
There is also a bit of sandalwood which carries the scent forward from beginning through to the end, but this is mostly a white floral number which performs well.
Nothing revolutionary or ground-breaking here, but a pleasant, solid scent.

The opening is beautiful, it's a rather uncommon, green, fresh take on tuberose. But... the longevity is abysmal. Sillage is weak from the very beginning, and the scent disappears within 1h, leaving some basic, sweet, floral skin scent trace. For the price tag, it's unacceptable.

Joyeuse Tubereuse is extremely green at the start and for a very brief period of time, I could find parallels with Bel Respiro (Chanel) due to the greenness. This was fleeting, but it is nice to smell something recogniseable. During this stage, and throughout, the lily is there and extremely noticeable for me. After that it went to a warmer, more comfortable place with the sandalwood which I have now come to notice in the last five of the line I've tried. A touch of vanilla, but not too much.

It is very infrequently that I require moisturiser when applying fragrances anymore, but I have found myself needing it with the L'Art et la Matiere collection. Without moisturiser, the ones I've tried so far disappear rather quickly. I decided to do a side by side comparison with this one and the moisturised wrist has won out. Perhaps this should be common sense, perhaps my hopes were too high based on other fragrances I wear much more frequently and am much more acquainted to or, perhaps, the longevity of these fragrances just aren't all that great. I mentioned before that the moisturised wrist won out but, alas, it hasn't won out by much. It's still very faint.The projection is minimal, its very close to the skin.

I imagine this would be a good fragrance for casual or intimate encounters. I certainly appreciate it, and the smells in all stages are wonderful... it just doesn't perform well on me. Try before buy, I'd say, even though the scent is more or less inoffensive.

4/10

I love it but all I pull is a very sharpe green leaf not and I’m praying that it will disappear and the vanilla and tuberose will start to show - could someone message me and let me know if this happens to them with this perfume ❤️

I finally managed to get a sample of this and wow, I think I am slowly but steadily getting 'trapped' in its beauty, the more I wear it the more I want it... Let see where this will go...
Onto the scent, so, after the initial crushed green stems smell it turns into the most sophisticated tuberrose creme Vanille (imagine a refined Vanille creme with delicate tuberose after taste) and that's it. Floral gourmand if I can say so. It envelopes you like a fairy dust, is it there, or is it not? Remember, it is delicate, nothing in your face, nothing screaming out loudly, Oh dear, I need that! Top on Christmas wish list.

Tuberose is a tricky note for me. JT is very elegant. The tuberose is playing accord with Lily and some sweetness. It is also slightly milky/creamy. Probably it is the most elegant tuberose I ever tried.

7/10. Peppermint, with many other herbal elements. Later skin scent and Vit. E mineral oil. I do not smell tuberose flowers. A little sweet.

Out of all the tuberose perfumes that I've tried, this is by far the most elegant, appealing, unique, and intoxicating one.
It's green, floral, a little sweet just to balance it, a little animalic just to refine it and distinguish it from the rest.
It has a beautiful trail that lasts and lasts and if someone passes by you wearing it, the scent will linger in the place for a while. Excellent quality, but too expensive. I'm yet to try the Molinard Tuberose, but out of the ones that I've tried Cocaine is the most unisex, but not the greatest for me, this leans more towards femine but can be pulled by a confident man easily. I also like Twilly very much but that is very feminine.

10/10 Guerlain ❤️

It is a hybrid of SL Datura Noir and Amouage Reflection Woman

Green opening. White florals on a woody vanilla base that doesn't shed the green feel due to the vetiver in the base. Very nice. -

First let me say, I love tuberose perfumes. I sometimes think my olfactory mission in life is to try to smell every tuberose fume on the planet. So, I duly came to Guerlain's Joyeuse Tubereuse, with great expectation.

I have never been able to understand what makes most tuberose perfumes a delight to me, but just a few really unpleasant. And I think JT has helped me identify the culprit: it's the vanilla.

I've realised that a strong vanilla note spoils a floral perfume for me, and also chypres, fougeres, aquatics, citruses, anything fresh. It definitely has its place: in balsamics, gourmands, some orientals – but for me personally, if it is too strong, it mars the freshness and adds a sickly note.

For example, I love Dior's Poison – it's close to being a signature scent for me. But I've never been able to stand Hypnotic Poison, even though it has similar notes – but if you look at the votes for the most prominent notes for both these perfumes, for HP, vanilla is the first note, whereas for Poison it's way down the list, adding a warmth without overpowering.

Just sharing this little note on a step along the endlessly fascinating path of olfactory discovery 😊

Perfect for summer with green notes which balance tuberose for anyone who has a hard time with the note. Vanilla adds some sweetness and easily blends with white florals. Not long-lasting (2-3 hours at most), moderate sillage but overall it makes me feel happy and somehow fresh..

Perfect name for a perfect fragrance! This is really joyous, optimistic and pretty. Delicate in character, but not weak.

The green notes are very noticeable on my skin. Luckily they are soft and dewy and don't try to smell like realistic flower stems. Tuberose can be a really intense flower, but in this case it's not bombastically loud. It keeps just enough of its hypnotic and bubblegummy facets to be clearly recognizable, but is still easy to wear. The cold, slightly sharp lily adds to the appeal. Of course the vanilla is beautiful, like it always is in Guerlain scents. Here it feels like a veil of powdered sugar on the petals of lily and tuberose.

This is obviously a sweet scent, which is no surprise from a Guerlain with these notes. I don't understand how anyone could find it cloying though, this has dry sweetness with enough fresh notes to never turn syrupy. I find it elegant and lovely, especially for the springtime, from the cold days of March when it's slowly getting lighter outside to the often summery heat in June.

If I ever visit a Guerlain boutique that carries the 20 ml travel sprays of the L'Art et la Matiere line again, I'll definitely get one of Joyeuse Tubéreuse. With a pink or green leather case.
I already have one of Cuir Beluga and I think these two have the same uncomplicated but luxurious vibe, even though they're different notes wise.

Starts off with a glorious green leafy burst, but unfortunately this only lasts a few short minutes before the other notes take over with a soft, powdery, fuzzy glow of tuberose, jasmine, lily, sandalwood and a lot of vanilla. Vetiver in the far background doesn’t stand out where you can pick it out; in fact it is hardly detectable at all. The scent has an overall soft peach-fuzz quality which is beautiful, but catches the back of my throat in a scratchy way. I must be sensitive to something in it. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. I find the composition to be too femme and sweet for my tastes, and it doesn’t excite me.

I recently purchased it after coveting it for years. I had sampled it in Nordstrom when they used to carry the fragrance. I feel that the formula has changed. the one had i had sampled years back had way more tuberose notes than this one or maybe my body chemistry has changed over the years.

it's still a beautiful fragrance, opens up very sweet and powdery. i smell a lot of lilies, almost like Cartier's Baiser Vole. I love the smell of lilies but for some reason in a perfume, it itches my throat a bit and makes me cough. so i cannot wear it close to my neck.

the perfume smells amazing, crisp, green, i particularly love the green note which brings out the tuberose. it has little tuberose but more lilies on my skin. overall a pleasing smell, lasts 8+ hrs on the skin and has good sillage.

if you're looking for a true tuberose fragrance, go for FM Carnal Flower or Robert Piguet's Fracas.

for the exorbitant price of this perfume, i believe that Baiser Vole is a much more affordable option.

my husband said that it smells just like ordinary talcum powder.

Mmm this smells like creamy white flowers mixed with Smarties candies! The smell is legitimately extremely pretty and soft. It sits very close to the skin, even if you over-spray. On first sniff, this reminded me of a weaker Gucci Flora EDP, but when I compared the two, I realized that wasn’t really correct. They share the same level of sweetness and just something about them both that I can’t identify (maybe the tuberose in one and the osmanthus in the other act similarly in the opening?), but as they reach the heart notes, Flora is more orange/yellow-sweet while Joyeuse Tubereuse is more green/white-sweet.

Update: the projection of Joyeuse Tubereuse definitely increases with wear and body heat. It was a skin scent for the first hour, but after I spent some time getting warm under a thick blanket, you could smell this from four feet away for a few hours, I was surprised!

This is pretty. It is a wallflower scent. I dont love the vanilla choice they used, its only ok, its a little tiny bit screechy vanilla but still high end and not sweet at all. Its a watery tuberose with a non edible, non sweet but a little unappealing vanilla that is a little stronger then the tuberose itself. Its nice though, for a white t shirt scent. I cant wait to try it in the heat, maybe it'll be a bright and shinning frag then? .. to be contd.

Is this really a Unisex scent? I think most people would think you got into your wife's perfume

Wow- this stuff is sweet- and a vanilla bomb on me :(

How come such a high quality perfume as is JT could be compared to Avon? I’ve searched the notes of the Avon cologne mentioned by the user below (because I was curious and because I want to find a cheaper dupe) and there’s nothing relatable either!
I really don’t want to add to my colección anymore cheapies that smell...cheapie, but I also don’t want to spend $200 on this, anyone has another suggestion? Thanks in advance :)

Almost the same as Avon TTA Romantic Voyage, but it has some bitter aftersmell on me. I trade it for Angelique Noire, I didnt know this fragrance, and I was not so happy, when I realised, it is almost the same as an Avon fragrance, for this price. But it is not surprising, the ingredients are very similar.

I like this scent a lot: it starts off green and vanilla creamy with strong dewy tuberose. It dries down into a tuberose with heaps of creamy vanilla. If you have ever smelled Guerlain Terracotta the white floral note between these two perfumes is very similar. Both are candied, dewy, and clean.

Echoing a few reviewers here: beautiful but not worth the Exclusif price tag. I would be on the hunt if this was a cheaper fragrance but at this cost it seems like there are other fragrances on the market that scratch the itch. For me this evokes a cross between Diptyque Do Son and Guerlain Terracotta.

This scent is called Joyeuse Tubéreuse, but I don't find it joyful at all, because it is too sweet and cloying. This is the type of tuberose fragrance that I simply cannot wear, because the poor flower is drenched in too much vanilla, and I'd say that there are some fruity notes in it as well (although they are not listed). One can smell fresh green notes only during the first 10-15 minutes after spraying this on, and then it turns into this sweet, fruity, syrupy vanilla. I'm sure that there are a lot of fragrance lovers who enjoy this type of scent and might find it 'joyful', but for me it's a scrubber. It's like Thierry Wasser and Delphine Jelk are on a mission to add as much vanilla as possible to any new fragrance that they create. No thanks.

Beautiful and elegant white floral with what I would call “Tuberose for beginners”.
Polite, composed and very light, this isn’t a blousy in your face fragrance, it’s a sparkling ladylike champagne flute. She’s never going to make a statement because it’s not her style, she’s going to sit in the background and look attractive.
I prefer a more belligerent tuberose, but this one will come in handy when circumspection is required.
I must admit that I wouldn’t have considered bringing her home if it hadn’t been for Myer reducing the price by 30%.

Beautiful but evanescent. Green and creamy. An updated even more innocent luxury version of Tuberosa by Santa María Novella. I like it but I don't love it. High quality ingredients here, though.

A beautyful whiteflowery scent. On my skin very airy and light. For that cost -no thanx. JT gets very skinclose on me and I have dry skin that "eats" scents quickly - on my skin I can smell JT about 2 hours.

En underbar vitblommig doft. På mig blir den luftig och lätt. Till det priset - nej tack. JT är på mig väldigt hudnära och jag har torr hud som "äter" parfymer - så jag känner den i ungefär 2 timmar.

I was so excited about this release. Guerlain and white flowers, it sounded promising. Unfortunately I get a sort of sweet soup, with no one ingredient standing out. If it had been priced under $100, I might have considered purchasing JT but I find nothing to be impressed with here. I am disappointed.

I got to smell this from a tester from a local store. Upon first sniff, it smells distinctly of a blend of white flowers. It's very smooth, soothing and comforting, like a freshly ironed white linen.

The tuberose is distinct yet understated, and the vanilla renders it very creamy but not overwhelmingly so. There's a good balance between the vanilla, tuberose and green notes that makes it feel like a walk through a white floral garden after a drizzle.

I'm not sure if this fragrance is worthy of its hefty price. It's good (though not great), and it's hardly the best fragrance in the line. It's worth a sniff for all white-floral fragrance lovers.

I waited for having used a good part of the full flacon to write this review.
This is a gentle, light but very distinguished Tuberose, unlike Vuitton's Turbulences, D. Ropion's Carnal Flowers (Fred Malle), or Lancome's "La vie est belle" EDP Intense. It never gets too invasive as it is modulated throughout it's effect by greens during the opening, then by the other white florals and finally by vanilla. I find only a hint of vetiver. Not any "intoxicating" effect of tuberose some skins reject with a mushroomy scent, though the tuberose is dominant from the beginning, melting with vanilla only towards the end. Longevity is at least 8 hours if used alone, but spraying it after a some other frags like Angelique Noire or vanilla-dominated frags makes it last longer.
Tuberose is a very special, sort of "all or nothing" or "love or hate" floral note, so I usually recommend testing it. But Joyeuse Tuberose is a low risk frag due to it's lightness and gentle scent, so maybe this is the best frag to get acquainted with this very special flower.
All in all, this frag is for fine noses ... very intimate with no "crushing" effect, and it comes up completely to my expectations from a house like Guerlain.

Fresh, green, ever so slightly bitter opening transitioning into a heavy creaminess. Mind you, not an edible one! It actually has more of a Nivea cream floralcy. My expectations were not astronomical, me being a believer that flowers need to show some darkness and dirt to fully live up to their potential. But this one really is quite handsome.

The opening to this is nothing short of glorious to my nose. It smells of green, fresh cut flower stems to the point where I can almost visualise them. It then moves into white flowers, primarily tuberose but with well blended lily and jasmine (it's not unlike Terracotta at this point), before finishing in gentle vanilla.

I am a tuberose addict and I think this one could be an entry level tuberose for those who aren't sure if they like it as a note - it goes nowhere near the sillage oomph of Fracas or Carnal Flower on me, but that's not a bad thing. Sometimes you want a gentler approach.

My one small gripe is that, on me at least, the longevity isn't as long as I'd like it to be. However, discussion in another forum had some people saying they had it last through a shower. My skin eats Guerlains for some reason! And plus it's worth it for another shot of the opening...

This opens with a delicious, fresh smell of peach skin. It mellows down to a gentle and innocent white floral, most prominent is tuberose and jasmine. Said white flowers are fruity, on the verge of over ripe peaches, more as the perfume dries down. This is not a bad thing but merely a question of personal taste, whether you like your white flowers camphorous, dirty, fruity, clean, classic, sweet, fleshy... I would call this a fruity, quite sweet and modern white floral, easy on the senses, summery like Songes and Lys Soleia also from Guerlain. There's no discernible soapyness, mentol, rubber or skank. It's only fresh in the top notes. I love my white flowers dirty like Fracas, Beyond Love or more camphorous like A la nuit, though my favourite among this family is without a doubt Songes. There is no discernible vanilla or such, this is solely a floral. I would like it more if it kept that realistic, fresh peach skin scent for the whole ride.

TLDR: Peachy, modern, summery and easy blend of tuberose and jasmine.
