Tuberose cannot be distilled at all. Steam destroys the scent, so the only material is a solvent-extracted absolute, and it is very expensive. Methyl benzoate, benzyl benzoate and farnesol build the creamy, almost narcotic white-flower smell. Studies of the flower have mapped how the scent is released over the course of a night.^[1] There is essentially no pharmacology on the absolute, so this is a perfumery material and nothing more.
