Where it comes from

Tuberose comes from the fragrant white flowers of the Polianthes tuberosa plant, a member of the asparagus family native to Mexico and now widely cultivated in India. The delicate blossoms are harvested at night when their scent is strongest and processed into an absolute or essential oil for use in cosmetics.
