Universal Flowering Venus In Tuberose Eau de Parfum

Flushed at the big top, liquefied lip product, romantically intoxicated, alluring paradise, freshly infatuated beseeches for more from my mouth, more honey, more darling; a watercolor tongue gently nudges away the worry creasing your brow.

You see, some have sacrificed everything for a flower, an ethereal edelweiss that may be mistaken for a fantasy; perhaps a suitor always welcomes a chance to conquer. Falling in love is effortless in this manner.

Notes: Raspberry Gelato, Hibiscus, Tuberose, Lime Pulp, Cream Soda, Grass

Universal Flowering is created by perfumer Courtney Rafuse.

Courtneys perfumes are a romantic extension of her memories - past and future.
They engage in dialogue with the liminal and the erotic, and are often formulated through a lens of synesthesia.

​Known for collaborating with visual artists, fashion designers, and writers, her work has been featured and profiled in Nylon, Airmail, The Toronto Star, BBC Radio, & more.

Universal Flowering’s most recent perfume, “Seduction Theory” was released in May 2024 - a jasmine-centric perfume inspired by projection, fantasy, and the abandoned theory of Sigmund Freud.

Courtney is also co-founder of Gumamina, a side-project created with her friend and fellow perfumer, Marissa Zappas. Gumamina launched in December 2023.
