| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the perfume room. |
| 0:12.8 | My send of the day today is Moonwick Tuberos from Nomad Noe. |
| 0:16.4 | I have been wearing my way through the entire discovery set. |
| 0:19.5 | And what I really am enjoying is how |
| 0:21.6 | uncomplicated but ultimately complex all five fragrances in this collection are. |
| 0:27.6 | Ingredient forward scents with subtle intricacies and unique signatures. |
| 0:32.6 | And as I mentioned today, my scent is Moonwalk Tuberose. |
| 0:36.6 | This one is fun. For me, it alludes to tropical |
| 0:40.7 | climates, to sunshine, summertime, without ever veering into like a true beachy perfume territory. |
| 0:49.5 | It's immediately lectonic. You know what? A bit more than le lactonic even. It's waxy and it's buttery |
| 0:54.6 | in that sort of traditional tuberous absolute way that you probably know. But in Moonwake |
| 0:59.6 | tuberous, it veers more waxy coconut over like waxy dank camphor. I get a dewy jasmine. |
| 1:05.6 | I get a sort of like tropical bananae, a langa-lang, a watery, aqua-sandlewood, and a soft, smooth |

| 1:17.3 | If you love the power of scents like fracca or carnal flour, in theory, but maybe not in |
| 1:24.4 | application or skin, or maybe once upon a time you wore Michael Coors and today you |
| 1:29.2 | yearned for an updated bright, bold, white floral, but one that feels a bit more like photorealistic |
| 1:34.4 | and natural in smell. Moon make tuberose might be the scent for you. It's unmistakably tuberose, |
| 1:41.1 | but a little less rough around the edges. Also, for a 50-millimeter bottle, |
| 1:45.7 | it's $155, which, in my opinion, considering the naturals in here, feels pretty reasonable. |
| 1:51.7 | My log line of the scent would be a milk bath with crushed tuberose petals. |
| 1:58.3 | And today, as it turns out, the co-founders of Nomad Noe also happened to be today's guests. |
