In the Victorian era, young girls were forbidden from smelling Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) because it was believed to induce spontaneous orgasms. While that’s a myth, the power of this flower is real. It is creamy, narcotic, and intense.
Triefta Aroma Nusantara works with farmers in Central Java to produce Tuberose Absolute. Unlike the Indian variety (which is greener/sharper), Indonesian Tuberose is celebrated for its buttery, lactonic richness that mimics the scent of warm skin.
The "Solvent" Necessity You cannot steam distill Tuberose. The heat destroys the scent.
- The Process: We use volatile solvents (Hexane) to extract the "Concrete" (wax), and then wash it with alcohol to get the "Absolute."
- The Yield: It takes 3,000 kilograms of flowers to produce just 1 kilogram of Absolute. This makes it one of the most precious materials in our portfolio.
The "Polyanthus" Effect Why is it called "Carnal"?
- Chemistry: Tuberose is rich in Methyl Benzoate and Methyl Anthranilate. These compounds are heavy, sweet, and heady.
- The Dry Down: While Jasmine can turn "animalic" (poop-like), Tuberose dries down into a creamy, coconut-like, vanilla floral. It is the definition of "Femme Fatale."
Niche Perfumery Trend 2026 The "Solar Floral" trend is huge. Tuberose is the star.
- Formulation Tip: Blended with Ylang Ylang and Sandalwood, Indonesian Tuberose creates a "Tropical Sunscreen" vibe that is incredibly nostalgic and expensive-smelling.
Conclusion Tuberose is not for the shy. It is a statement ingredient. If your brand stands for boldness, seduction, and luxury, you need the creamy depth of Triefta’s Indonesian Tuberose Absolute.
