Perfume is kind of a favorite of mine as well.
I remember reading aloooong time ago that tuberose was all the rage around the WWII (and prior)era, until women discovered that it was used in mortuary science. I think it was Tullulah Bankhead who ‘started’ the run.
Tuberose is lauded and applauded by Turin and Sanchez in their book: Perfumes: The Guide. Many perfumes contain the ingredient now, so I guess nobody remembers the mortuary story.
