Mirra

This is my casual version of Casmir. I feel floating when I wear it. Very comforting. Smells similar to scents from the 90's. Grown up, lovely but not too heavy vanilla. Instant mood lift. edit: Dupe for reformulated Vanilla Fields.

I used to like Mirra from Tesori d'Oriente line. This is not bad and has a sweet take on resinous myrrh, so it's much gentle than the real thing. Well, if I want 1001 nights atmosphere I spray Shalimar, but Mirra is not bad and also the bath line with soap and cream is ok and pleasant. In my book it still smells too drugstore to be worn on important events. I agre it smells similar to Chopard Casmir. Many years ago I was a fan of Casmir and loved it especially for the lovely bottle and the jus of course, but it became quite an oversweet taste for me. In the same period Atkinsons made a whole line called Mirra & Mirra and it smelled very close to Casmir for a fraction of the price. I had the luscious body cream. Also Mirra & Mirra could be overpowering especially if layered with cream and perfume on top! Then Tesori d'oriente came out with its Mirra which is similar but less refined compared to Atkinsons. I would say that there is a thread of derivation among the three!

I bought the shower cream from this line, and I was expecting it to be a little sweeter. Also, it doesn't really linger much on my skin after a shower. Perhaps I've gotten too used to the vanilla shower cream by Sephora (now, THAT is a scent you can still smell for a while after using it), but the Mirra one left me "Meh." EDIT: I've used it again today, and it smelled more pleasant. Again, it's a light smell, but pleasant. I think I detect some peach in it, but I'm not sure. I have 250 ml of shower cream to use, so I'm sure I'll get back to you about it! LOL :) EDIT PART II: This scent is starting to grow on me. Now I'm pretty sure there's a peach note in it. Perhaps a little apricot, too. It's sweet but not cloying, relaxing, and somehwat refreshing. I may actually consider buying the perfume, too. EDIT PART IV: I've bought the perfume. LOL! :) it smells exactly the same as the shower cream, and it's beautiful.

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 live these cheap fragrances, very synthetic but still pleasant, if I don't go I will spray them in the rooms ... Mirra di Tesori d'Oriente is a markedly oriental fragrance, when dry you can appreciate the citrus hints of orange and bergamot. At the dry down the blend becomes warm and enveloping, the amber, musky and vanilla notes come together in a reassuring and sensual encounter. They consider him the Casmir dupe of Chopard, he doesn't look like him at all.

I have the shower gel, and the perfume. I love this so much! The shower gel doesn't dry my skin, and it's wonderful to be covered in this fragrance from head to toe in the shower. The perfume is sweet, a slightly soapy peach-vanilla-opoponax. I haven't smelled Casmir, so I don't know how similar it is to Mirra, but to me, this is definitely one of TdO's best fragrances.
