Tagete Profumum Roma

Desirability: Decant

A sunny white floral that never succumbs to decay.

There's nothing astounding or unique about Tagete but yet I feel a little like Olaf singing "In Summer". This is such a good-natured and lovely scent that one cannot fail to feel upbeat when wearing Tagete. It smells of sunny days with thick white puffs of clouds floating in a bright blue sky, fresh vivid flowers and long blades of grass bobbing their heads in the gentle breeze.

I have no idea what tagetes smell like, a visit to the nearest plant nursery did not answer my question either, the potted marigolds were available in riotous colours but I smelt pretty much zilch. What I do smell are the white flowers jasmine and tuberose with the latter calling the shots. Tuberose lush and lusty, reminiscent of the diva Tuberosa but here the creamy coconut-like sweetness instead of an animalic edge, has tints of something green and tangy like the rind of citrus fruit that lightens up the narcotic headiness of the white floral notes. Cosy in the drydown, it becomes earthier and ? inky as time passes as if the day is darkening into twilight but the basic storyline does not change. It is a happy and perfectly natural scent from beginning to end which I might add is a super duper long time away. Just like the other scents from this house, a little goes a long way.
