The Tubéreuse Grapevine
The tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa), an olfactory gem originating from Mexico, flourishes under sunny skies and in warm climates. This botanical treasure, carefully cultivated in the exquisite lands of India and the Grasse region, requires rich, well-drained soil. Planted in spring, the tuberose reveals its splendor in the summer, adorning its stems with spike-shaped white flowers that release an enchanting and captivating fragrance. Each bulb, spaced with precision, is nurtured with regular and measured watering. The flowers, picked at dusk to capture their purest essence, are the soul of the Contre Courant creation. Sensitive to the whims of nature, the tuberose demands delicate care, making its cultivation a true art form dedicated to elegance and beauty.
