Tuberose fragrance

How is the smell of tuberose fragrances obtained?

The magic comes from a process called solvent extraction. Because tuberose petals are too delicate for steam distillation, they’re treated to release their aromatic compounds. The result is a highly prized tuberose absolute – a concentrated essence that captures the flower’s heady, complex scent in all its glory.
