Performance Metrics
21 VOTESOpen Performance Breakdown 1 TAKE
The available performance data points to moderate longevity and moderate sillage. Expect presence rather than extreme power. Because the main review notes a clear difference between paper and skin, wear time and projection should be judged from a skin test, especially if tuberose often amplifies on you.
Notes Pyramid

Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore opens with green leaves, then moves into a prominent tuberose heart supported by ylang-ylang and vetiver. It reads green, white floral, yellow floral, woody, lightly sweet, and possibly a little animalic depending on skin. The overall feel is more assertive tuberose garden than soft powdery bouquet.
Main Accords
8 MAPPEDThe green accord gives the fragrance its first snap, while tuberose supplies the dense white floral body. Ylang-ylang appears to soften the heart with yellow floral sweetness, and vetiver brings dryness, woodiness, and a slightly earthy aromatic feel. Together they make the scent feel greener and more structured than a creamy tuberose soliflore.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore Review”
Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore by Binet-Papillon is built around a direct idea: green leaves, tuberose, ylang-ylang, and vetiver. On paper that sounds simple, but the way the pieces meet gives the fragrance more tension than a plain white floral. The opening is leafy and green, then the tuberose steps forward with real volume.
The most useful wearer feedback describes it as an intense tuberose scent with vetiver standing clearly beside it. That detail matters, because vetiver changes the shape of the perfume. Instead of letting the tuberose become only creamy, sweet, or narcotic, it adds a dry green-woody line that makes the whole composition feel more textured.
There is also a skin chemistry point here. The reviewer was not strongly moved by it on a paper strip, but liked it much more once sprayed on skin. That makes Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore a poor candidate for judging quickly from a blotter. It seems to need warmth to show its balance between floral intensity and vetiver bite.
The accord picture supports that impression. Green is the strongest direction, followed closely by tuberose and white floral facets. Ylang-ylang likely brings a warmer yellow floral sweetness, while vetiver keeps the base drier and more aromatic. A slight animalic edge may appear for some wearers, especially if the tuberose blooms strongly.
Performance evidence is limited, but the available votes point to moderate longevity and moderate sillage. That fits a fragrance with presence rather than a whispery skin scent. It should be noticeable enough for people nearby, though there is not enough evidence to claim heavy projection or all-day power.
This is one to sample if you love tuberose and want something greener, woodier, and less straightforwardly creamy. It is less ideal for someone who wants a clean shampoo floral, a barely-there office scent, or a soft beginner tuberose. For the right wearer, the attraction is clear: a bold tuberose framed by leaves and vetiver, with enough natural tension to stay interesting.
FAQs
What does Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore smell like?+
It smells like a green tuberose fragrance with leafy freshness, a bold white floral center, and a noticeable vetiver base. Ylang-ylang adds a yellow floral softness, while the vetiver gives the scent a drier, woody edge.
Is Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore more floral or green?+
It is both, but the structure leans green first and tuberose-heavy soon after. The leafy opening gives it freshness, then the tuberose becomes the main character.
Is the tuberose strong in Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore?+
Yes. The supplied wearer review describes it as an intense tuberose scent and recommends it specifically to people looking for tuberose. This is not likely to satisfy someone who only wants a very soft floral trace.
Does Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore have vetiver?+
Yes. Vetiver is listed in the base and is also called out by the reviewer as intensely present beside the tuberose. That makes it feel greener, drier, and more textured than a simple creamy white floral.
Is Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore unisex?+
Yes. The fragrance is presented as a scent for women and men, and the available gender feedback leans unisex. The floral heart is prominent, but the green leaves and vetiver help it avoid feeling strictly feminine.
How long does Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore last?+
The available performance votes point to moderate longevity. That suggests it should stay noticeable for a practical wear period, but the evidence is limited, so skin testing is the best guide.
How strong is the projection of Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore?+
The available sillage votes also point to moderate projection. It appears to have presence without clear evidence of being room-filling.
Is Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore better on skin than on paper?+
Based on the supplied review, it may be. The reviewer found it much more appealing on skin than on a paper strip, so this is a fragrance worth testing on skin before deciding.
What season is Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore best for?+
The small seasonal pattern points most clearly toward spring and summer, with some room for fall or cooler weather. Its green and floral style makes the most natural sense in mild to warm conditions.
Can Nº 17 Tubéreuse Mandragore be worn during the day?+
Yes, the available use pattern leans more day than night. Its green floral profile should suit daytime wear, especially if you like noticeable tuberose rather than very quiet skin scents.

COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThere is not enough supplied evidence to name reliable dupes or direct lookalikes. If you are comparing, look for green tuberose fragrances or tuberose scents with vetiver rather than assuming it matches sweeter, creamier white florals. The vetiver note is the key point of difference to check.
