Description
Tuberose Absolute Oil – Polianthes tuberosa is a highly fragrant night flowering plant. It is pollinated by moths. Contrary to its name, it is not related to the rose. Instead, the plant has tube-like roots that gave it the moniker we know today. It is related to the jonquil and narcissus.
Tuberose oil is extracted from Polianthes tuberosa of the Agavaceae family and is also known as tuberosa and tubereuse.
Because of the high concentration of this oil and the chemicals left behind, tuberose is mainly used in high class perfumes. You will often find it in very floral perfume blends.
