Ayurveda

So, I was very very eager to put my hands on this bottle, I am a huge fan of Tesori d'Oriente and I love almost every scent they have produced over the years. Coming to this one I certainly smell a resemblance to Hermes' "L'eau/elixir des merveilles when fresh sprayed. The orange, patchouli and Woody notes mix is predominant. When it dries down, it settles to a much warmer, less zesty, balmy scent. There is something very anise or liquorice like that I can definitely smell, this mixed with the dark vanilla notes which are much similar to the ones in Dior's "Hypnotic Poison". It lasts about 8hrs and its sillage is moderate on my skin. In my opinion you have Always to consider the price of a perfume to judge the quality of it as well. I am a cheapo lover myself (being a student I can't really afford designers or niche) and I think that there are a lot of scents that are so expensive and don't smell expensive at all (Yes, I am referring to some generic gourmands and shower gel-like compositions), while I think that this one perfume is already quite sophisticated for its price and very nice and in my opinion the bottle is gorgeous, even if simple. I haven't been let down by this composition at all :)

Based on these reviews I would have thought it is vile and would have never decided to buy it. Luckily, I have a bagno crema so I decided to give it a try. It is wounderfully happy and comforting scent- orange and amber are dominant and I don't get the stinky stale scent that the others are reffering to. Maybe patchouli is giving them that sensation but to me it isn't overpowering and is quite well blended with orange and amber.To me it is perfect for a summer day/night as a warm ray of sunshine. On the other hand their Tesori's Thai spa is glorified in the reviews but it is terrible to me. Never blind buy Thai spa. It smells like you've entered an elephant part of the zoo. My friend blind bought it and we both tried it together- it was terrible and I couldn't wash it off. I hope I help someone with my review. My opinion is that Tesori's scents are great value for the price but you should never blind buy them.

Taken by a compulsive shopping spree, I emptied the Treasures of the East sector. Having snubbed and / or underestimated it for years and years, despite having appreciated its olfactory performance on several occasions. After reading all the reviews here on Fragrantica, I decided to test and experience these cheap fragrances, very synthetic but still pleasant, if I do not go I will spray them in the rooms ... Ayurveda by Tesori d'Oriente is a fragrance with sour and fresh opening notes widely citrusy, slightly fruity and fresh-spicy background, timid amber, balsamic and boises hints emerge in the dry down. The citrus freshness dominates the olfactory experience. Very cool, summery. Reminiscent of a masterpiece by the great master Jean Claude Ellena Elixir des Merveilles by Hermès.

This is interesting and doesn't smell at all like what I imagined based on the notes. This smells like lemon sherbert or lemon curd - lemony and fresh but also creamy. It has a slightly medicinal, powdery undertone too. After the opening, which is strong and smells almost completely like a dessert, it becomes a moderately strong citrusy, creamy musk. Very different but I can't yet decide if that's for the better or for the worse. I haven't smelled any of the perfumes people above compare it to, so to me it's a brand new thing. It's above average strong and long-lasting, although not exceptionally so - Tiare from the same brand is both stronger and more resilient.

Tesori d’Oriente is my favourite line of cheapies. Auyrveda is one of their latest releases, packed in a very attractive bottle. The scent itself is a sweet orange-patchouli-vetiver combo. As my list of ‘haves’ and ‘hads’ testifies, I love this type of orangey-minty-woody scent and I’ve worn various interpretations of it, be it posh and spicy (e.g. FM Noir Epices), fresh and uplifting (e.g. Coco Mademoiselle) or tacky and loud (e.g. Lush Karma). Price-wise, Ayurveda is much closer to Karma, but when it comes to its development and lasting power, one would never guess that it is so affordable; it lasts over 8 hours.
