Where I got it
I first discovered this perfume at the Jimmy Choo store at Westfield New Market when I was just casually browsing in the footwear section. I was interested in their heels after owning a pair of Bing 65 and absolutely love them, so I decided to check out more styles and try them on. While I was paying for a pair of shoes, I saw the perfume and lipstick stand at the counter and just casually smelled some of the scents. Radiant Tuberose was the second bottle I picked up and oh my goodness, it was love at first sniff! I immediately sprayed it onto a piece of card and asked for a little sample. Unfortunately, they did not have any and I left with the little card in my bag.
For the entire week, I kept the little card close by – in my car and in my bag and I sniff the card a couple of times a day because it smells just so good. I googled this perfume to see how much it is, and I was taken aback because it was $315 on the Smith & Caughey’s website. This perfume is a rather exclusive collection, not available in shops like Farmers and Life Pharmacy. For reference, Jimmy Choo’s standard perfumes are between $77 – $160 for 40ml to 90ml bottles. The Radiant Tuberose from the Seduction Collection is $315 for a 125ml bottle ($2.52 per ml). I wish this comes in a smaller bottle like 50ml because it is quite an expensive perfume (actually the most expensive in my collection so far) and it would take me a long time to finish this large bottle.

What I got
This is the Jimmy Choo Seduction Collection Radiant Tuberose Eau de Parfum (125ml). A powerful yet pure floral fragrance evoking a bouquet of white flowers. Crafted in France, Radiant Tuberose is an elegant scent illuminated by a fruity blend of neroli and jasmine and softened by white musk. Tuberose is the most impetuous flower, leaving a bewitching trail in its wake. Adorn your dressing table with the multi-faceted glass bottle complete with metallic glitter cap and begin a new journey embracing a floral identity. Notes: Tuberose, white musk and neroli.

How I find it
Like I mentioned above, I fell in love with this perfume on the first sniff and sometimes top notes are really beautiful, but it fades after time and I’m not as impressed as before. That is why I am glad that I sprayed it on a piece of paper and took it home with me. Days after I can still smell the perfume and love it even more. It is long-lasting and very pleasant. I would say this is a sweet white floral fragrance that is quite intense. So I would use maximum of 2 sprays and it would last the entire day and stay on your coats and even on the seatbelt in my car because it rubbed off from the clothes!

Overall
I would say this fragrance is not a complex one, it is quite simply a vibrant tuberose fragrance that is also quite sweet. One spritz is also quite intense for me so I like to spray from a little distance and step into the spray instead of directly on the skin/clothing. This 125ml bottle would last me quite a long time, so hopefully it stays nice in the bottle after time because I really love this fragrance and it is quite expensive.
