The brief
Corridors at three in the morning carry the residue of everyone who has walked through them — perfume, carpet, warm dust. Ilse wanted a white floral that had already been worn by somebody else.

How it was made
02
The material
Tuberose absolute is naturally warm and creamy. Chilling it required a green pepper CO2 extract in the top and a small dose of a rubber accord in the heart, which sounds unwearable on paper and is the reason the fragrance works.
03
On skin
Enormous for the first hour. It contracts sharply after that into orris and musk and stays there for most of a day. This is the loudest thing we make, and it is still an extrait, so a single touch is a full wearing.

The rubber note is the whole thing
Without it this would be another tuberose. With it, it is the strangest and best thing I own.

One touch, not one spray
I over-applied the first time and had to leave the room. Applied properly it is astonishing.
