Fior di Loto

This is advertised as a unisex fragrance. You have it listed as 'for women'. If the mistake is yours, please fix it. As far as the fragrance goes, it's one of my favorites from the Tesori d'Oriente line, many of which are amazing at €5. 1. Legno di Guajaco (men) ★★★★★ doesn't impress out of the bottle, but develops REALLY nicely on me; a favorite of mine at any price, I'd probably pay €15 for this one... maybe even €20; 2. Fior de Loto (unisex) ★★★★☆ delicious start, mellows as it develops, and reminds me of Pina colada; worth €10 all day long... which is about how long its fragrance lasts on me; 3. Sandolo del Kashmir & Vetiver (unisex) ★★★★☆ strong from start to finish, apparently sandalwood and vetiver just mix really well; I'd gladly pay €10; 4. Hammam (unisex) ★★★☆☆ deliciously 'bright' start, a bit weaker development; I'd pay €7-8; 5. Vaniglia Zenzero (unisex) ★★☆☆☆ too much vanilla at the start, develops an interesting 'earthy moss' note as it develops; worth the €5; 6. Byzantium (unisex) ★★☆☆☆ very sweet start, less impressive, and slightly bitter (on me), finish; worth the €5; 7. Ambra Indiana (unisex) ★☆☆☆☆ average start, mediocre finish; because of the interesting 'leather' note, I'd pay €2-3, but not €5; can't recommend; 8. Aegyptus (unisex) ☆☆☆☆☆ very promising start, boring finish; can't recommend; 9. Muschia Bianco (unisex) ☆☆☆☆☆ pleasant start, boring, almost unpleasant, finish; can't recommend; Obviously, these are just opinions, and relative to me. You might have completely different results. For instance, a friend of mine LOVES the Byzantium on herself... and I have to admit it smells better on her than me. Nine fragrances for under €50 total, including shipping, was worth it. Hell, discovering the Legno di Guajaco, Fior de Loto, and Sandolo del Kashmir & Vetiver was worth that already. Cheers, from Berlin.

I bet if this fragrance was Made by one of those Famous Houses or someone well known like say MFK for instance, all these people raving about how this smells cheap and plasticky and whatnot would have been singing the praises of this fragrance to high Heavens and even worse if they slapped on a couple of Hundred bucks on this. People can’t just appreciate good and affordable things when they see one. This fragrance is no different from most of the underperforming mainstream fragrances y’all cop for 500 bucks except that most time, it’s just the brand name you pay for, nothing special. Can people just enjoy a Unique and nice scent for what it is and not always try to act all knowing, experts in perceiving Scents and snobbish. Also just because a perfume is less than $10 dont mean it’s not good quality, even your high-end and Designer perfumes are made of synthetic ingredients too. Hell these brands are just rip offs most times and it’s YOUR fault choosing to fall for their marketing theatrics. You gave a Niche house $1000 and so you think you got the Best and purest of scents and so you can’t believe that another house makes something as good or even better than that for lesser and good value lmao, thats the problem! It’s called “sheep” behavior. Get over yourself! Having said all that: I think this fragrance is absolutely beautiful and there’s absolutely nothing cheap about it (perfumes don’t make you smell cheap, y’all kill me with this line all the time) if there’s anything it does, it’s a compliment magnet. People will legit want to sniff and eat you lol. Tessori did good with this, one of the best from this house. ❤️

This is a scent that I've learned to love bit by bit, until it reached the top of my preferencies. I am a "hunter" for little treasures like this fragrance, because: 1. I like perfumes that are unique 2. I'd never judge a fragrance by its price or packaging (sometimes I consider it a plus) 3. I got dissapointed sooo many times by expensive perfumes 4. I'd rather support smaller brands and spend my money (for which I work very hard) on a good concept than spend it on high end products that are all about marketing and advertising... Well, I consider this fragrance, and actually almost 90% of TDO fragrances extremely good, even if some are not necessarily my cup of tea. Fior di Loto smells expensive, classy, rich, complex, well structured and s.o. Not a usual perfume, though, so try it before. First of all I get strong tuberose, sweet peach, lingering creamy vanilla and sandalwood, innocent lotus flower. To me this isn't an oriental scent, it's more like "mediteranean" :). Extremely sensual, feminine, not sexy but voluptuous, iconic and alluring. I imagine gourgeous Italian actress Sofia Loren wearing it. I just can't get enough of it, I can talk about this scent for days and I CANNOT belive I said all these words about a perfume that costs 4 Euros!! It doesn't resemble to any scent I've ever smelled, longevity reaches days. A five star fragrance!

Another "Love it or hate it" aroma by TdO. If you are looking for delicate, gentle, airy floral for everyday use, this is not it. This one has a character that will not go unnoticed. Powerful and long-lasting, creamy-rich, woody-flowery, better on fabrics than skin. I wouldn't wear it in hot weather. Very intense and unique scent that is not for everyone - some people will find it suffocating, synthetic, or pungent. However, I personally love it - it's wild, exotic, intriguing. It gives me an energy boost and a desire to go out and explore. It vaguely reminds me of burning aroma sticks. I agree 100% with what others have said: As long as I enjoy a perfume, I couldn't care less about price, packaging, and brand name. I have had plenty of expensive and "luxurious" disappointments, as well as surprising precious gems for like 5-15 eur, which I have been repurchasing for years. If something is good AND affordable, of course, I am all for it! This is why I am a big fan of TdO - their perfumes are of excellent quality and performance. I have never been disappointed by them. Their scents are unique, rich, and well-balanced. Some of them are not exactly the kind of fragrances I love, but I appreciate the desire to produce something original and creative of their own, instead of making bland and generic scents to appeal to just everyone.

It's nice. Smells like soap to me. Maybe a face cream. Thick and rich. Very familiar and little bit nostalgic. It's not something I'd wear out but I like it in the fall for bumming around the house. 1/13/25 Growing on me. It's a thick cozy cocoon and I love it in winter snuggled up in bed. Finally realized it reminds me of the old aussie shampoo scent with an added peach note (which smells nothing like the current iteration.) My mom used that shampoo and that's why it's such a comforting, safe, nostalgic scent for me. 3/20/25 Ill just keep adding lol .. I bought fior di loto, Thai spa, hammam, and byzantine shower gel with matching edt and lotion. BYZANTINE (fyi my favorite perfume is loukhoum...I bought and love sweet oriental dream) is baby wipes. Kroger baby wipes specifically. I wear it but it smells like post partum depression. Loukhoum is in a separate universe. HAMMAM-lemony, you know maybe it has a pretty drydown but, who knows, it never lasts that long for me. THAI SPA- very 80s tuberose ... with a medicinal patchouli, green tea vibe. It's fucking rank. Violently early 90s late 80s. I hate it. Horrendous. Horrific. Fior di loto....the shower gel and lotion are more woodsy. Heavier on sandalwood. Very unisex in these forms. I like it even more. This is the stand out in the line thus far for me. By far.

this fragrance shurely contains more notes than the lotus flower. it smells like creamy sweet and exotic flowers layered on a woody-amber base. i could swear there is gardenia in it. on a tesori retailer site was stated fior di loto features also orangeflower and jasmin. i agree it smells like crystal noir, same dark and mysterious initial blast and at the drydown it smells sensual and sweet with a touch of a coconutty vibe, which crystal noir also transports. it has also a lil' vanilla but to me it smells the most sweet and creamy floral-ambery at the drydown. very smooth and not at all cheap smelling or generic. it's softer, lighter, less edgy and complex than the versace scent, but it smells rich, intense and very longlasting. the sillage is awesome, just intoxicating ! can t stop sniffing the beautiful whafts floating around me. i will treat myself with a big bath of the shower-cream by next. this fragrance is a real winner of the tesori range. omg it's just fantastic! very recommendable, price can t be beaten. *keep sniffing* yumyum :D)

It is a boudoir perfume, it not thought for to be worn outside, but it is a good one. It is basically the relaxing smell of a strong woman, seductive and refined perfume without being sweet.I have this whole range, along with three more respectively Te verde, Ayurveda and Japanese ritual still this is my favourite. They did it very well, although I have to tell them that maybe they wanted a "Greek" perfume from Plato's Greece, the company being in fact Greek, but came out with a Greek-Egyptian combination, Greek floral with an Egyptian scent, but attention the ancient Egypt not the oriental one from today. We can say that it is a kind of Cleopatra of perfumes, Egyptian but with some Greek roots. Beautiful. A street version of it came from Ferragamo via Attimo, unfortunately discontinued,but the Greek company of Tesori thought of us, try Elode Blossom to make it resists well on your skin because it is not very concentrated use a hard moisturizer without perfume or vaseline, before put it on the skin part that you want.

I LOVE THIS SCENT. It reminds me of Italy. I first bought a bottle of the hand and body liquid soap back in 2015... Since then I always have the cream, the soap and the perfume with me. It’s a delicate, woody-floral scent. It opens warm and sweet like a hug. And it stays the whole day on me and on my clothes. It’s a supermarket brand in Italy and sadly not to be easily found there since 2018 anymore which saddens me a lot :( I actually am purchasing it from Germany via internet because I couldn’t find it in Italy (!) since 2019 anymore which is crazy. I love the perfume. It’s decent, elegant, not screamy or a show-off fragrance. Plus it’s Italy for me. <3

This perfume is perfect if you enjoy intense, slightly oriental scents that feel both strong and soft at the same time. At first, you mostly smell the orange, but as it settles, the lotus and peach start to stand out, blending with the white flowers. Later on, the sharpness fades, leaving a soft mix of woody notes, lotus, vanilla, and musk. It’s a lovely aromatic and oriental fragrance, soapy and aquatic that reminds me of clean laundry. Considering the price, bottle size, and overall quality, TdO really stands out, and other brands could learn from it.

Someone wrote below that this is a "delicate" fragrance. NOT at all, my friends! A few sprays of this, and you're all set for a few good hours, sillage and longevity-wise. It is a unique smell so I can recognize it immediately when someone wears it. Incredibly affordable and well worth it. Oh, and I don't get any cheap, plasticky or synthetic vibes either. I usually can't wear scents during the summer because they all vanish or turn into something weird, so I can't comment on how this performs during the warm season.

I use the hand cream as body cream (I have dry skin) and it is high quality but low price. Also, it is woodier than the perfume and not so violently ISO E-super based. It layers beautifully with all perfumes of my collection and gives a fresh, woodsy undertone. The cream? Highly recommended. The perfume might be too much.

This perfume is absolutely gorgeous! The lotus note is so fresh and aquatic, it really makes you feel like you're standing by a serene pond. The dry down is warm and inviting with the sandalwood and vanilla. It's perfect for day or night.

Its very rich,sweet and soft vanilla.Really powerful and veery long lasting fragrance.I love it

I am the proud owner of 5 of the many tesori d`oriente perfumes. Mmm... what can I say about this one? I should review Fior di Loto - parfumo aromatico, 100 ml. The perfume was a present. I liked especially the design of the bottle. it is metallic, with a plastic cap, and has a gunmetal color. it is also adorned with graphics depicting greek imagery. a very nice, artistic touch, though I have to say that I`m disappointed that this isn`t as finely processed quality wise as I would have liked it to be- but then again, there are many perfumes whose bottles are nicely designed, but fail in the department of quality (nina ricci- l`air du temps- its plastic cap, although nicely created looks so cheap!). I can`t complain because this isn`t that expensive. now... let`s review the scent itself! or better the scents! this is a niche fragrance, it doesn`t target large masses of clients. however it`s far from being pretentious. according to the description, the main note should be nelumbo nucifera- white lotus flower- which has an aromatic spectrum of watery scents.it radiates gracefulness and kindness, especially when faced with the lotus imagery- it stays under murky water during the night and surfaces at sunrise. besides the distinctive flowery-watery scent, there is a heavy powder of vanilla which kind of makes this almost too sweet. this is why, if you happen to be very sensitive to scents, it is better to spray just a little bit. overall it adheres to the skin pretty well- 4 hours, at least. the high lotus notes combine nicely with the vanilla, which if sparayed heavily can feel a bit overpowering. best time of the day to wear-morning color- white, pink,blue tinged pastels, mauve, light colors made of thin fabrics, natural textiles it assures the personality- adding a touch of something that is sweet, yelding, flexible, young, honest, strong willed, pure, noble and content. just like the lotus flower in buddhist imagery which symbolises the progress of the soul.

Probably the best Tesori d’Oriente. I don’t like it unconditionally because it’s quite strong and overpowering, I must be in the right mood to wear it otherwise it gives me a headache and makes me sick (might be the tuberose). It’s a femme fatale perfume in my opinion, luscious, sweet, oriental and sexy. Like other Tesori scents for example Orchidea della Cina it’s a distinctive and original scent and absolutely not a dupe nor a “remind me of” any other fragrances. I agree with the user below me who writes that if this perfume’s price were 200€ instead of 4€ everyone would praise it as a niche perfumery highlight. When I was a student I didn’t want to spend much money on perfumes and always used to wear Tesori d’Oriente. Cheap dupes were not a thing yet back then (00s). There were some (I had one of Armani Code) but they used to be quite bad. Well, anyway, I have never received so many compliments for my perfume as back then.

This is one of those fragrance from TDO that I've noticed lasts forever.And by forever,I mean forever.I had a sweater that I've worn a few months back and haven't washed until last week and the scent still is on the fabric.And it penetrates enough to go and stick on your under laying clothing. What I get is something like an aquatic coconut and not peach.I can't quite pin this scent.I don't know if it's suitable for winter or summer.Also it smells like I've smelt quite a lot on people which made me not use this that much. The scent is pretty much linear and has an arms length sillage (maybe stronger on the warmer months).Maybe it's the combo of lotus,sandalwood,vanilla and peach that gives it the coconut like smell for me. Be discreet when spraying this.A little bit goes a long way and you dont want to suffocate yourself and people around you when using this and it radiates quite strongly in the first few minutes to hours.

I've bought it last summer, but I made a mistake to use it in a heat wave, and even though i liked it, I was overwhelmed by the scent. So I put it on the shelf, and not reall crawing after that ever since. But lately because I'm bored with my frequently used favorites, I started to re-adjust my unused perfumes to my rotation. Just because it's colder months doesn't mean I only have to use gourmand or heavier fragrances. And this one works quite well in colder environments. It's a fresh fruity, kind of soapy scent with udistinctable white white flowers and musk. I can't really detect any rose or sandalwood. To be honest it smells like a nice detergent, but not in a bad way. It lasts and projects every bell, and maybe it's not my first thing to grab, but a nice change do spray on myself when I'm running erads. And dirty cheap for a hundred milliliter, i paid only five euro.

Quite unusual, extremely long-lasting, superb sillage. This is not everyone's cup of tea, you either love it or hate it. It is very popular and well known in Italy and this is where I first discovered it and fell in love with it. It is excellent value for money, much cheaper than other perfumes but it definitely doesnt smell cheap! It is heavy, oriental and sweet. It reminds me of Africa, hot nights and spices. It lingers and I get many many positive comments and I get asked what it is wherever I go. People were begging me to bring it for them from Italy. However,as I said, it is not for everybody. My mum cant stand it and I am sure there are lots of people out there who hate it because it is so heavy and sweet.

Honestly it's really good and perfectly unisex. I would say that it is a mature and more night suited perfume tho. I can definetely smell the orange the rose and the sandalwood/woodsy notes at the beginning and it's quite sharp, but when it starts to dry down a bit it gets softer, almost soap-like. I don't really get the peach and the vanilla but the lotus, the musk and the white flowers I absolutely do. It's deep and sophisticated. I wouldn't suggest it to someone in his 20s unless you have a bold personality that matches it or again, unless it's nighttime, but for someone a bit older it's perfect. Honestly for the price it's a 10.

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 don't want to, I'll spray them in the rooms... Tesori d'Oriente's Lotus Flower is a triumph of fruity fragrances, with peach prevailing over the whole blend. On dry down, a boises, musky, reassuring vanilla scent is talc.
