Javaanse Jongens

First I have to admit: I was smoking many years of my life. When we were young smoking was not banned and not seen as a sin or even not as unhealthy. We loved to smoke with enjoyment. And it was an indication of adulthood to be alowed smoking in public.
I will not discuss further about that. I do not regret those times. Nor am I regretting having stopped smoking at once abruptly in a certain moment and never having smoked any cigarette since then. For sure I will never smoke again this life.
When I was young we bought the tobacco "Javaanse Jongens", papers and filters and rolled the cigarettes ourself. In case the tobacco became to dry or we did not have enough money we mixed the dry crumbs with fresh tobacco. To keep that in perfect moisture we put into the tin-tobacco-cases a dried plum, apple pieces and sometimes a piece of vanilla.
That is how "Jasmin di Giava" is exactky smelling like. Sure at the beginning there are some woody notes in "Jasmin di Giava" and a note of a santal which has an agreeable quality.
Unfortunately the longevity of "Jasmin di Giava" is very short. But now after I put several times more of "Jasmin di Giava" on my skin I still can smell a mixture of tobacco with delicious dried fruits perfect spiced with a whiff of santal and vanilla.
But Jasmine? For my opinion there is not the slightest whiff of Jasmine into "Jasmin di Giava".
I would propose to prepare a good Chinese tea spiced with fine jasmine sipping it out of a thin china-bone-cup to have the imagination of the missed jasmine in "Jasmin di Giava".

WOW! I Love It on My Girlfriend!

Jasmin di Giava by Tesori d'Oriente is one of the best women's fragrances I have ever smelled! This is exactly how a confident woman should smell and nothing else! It makes me feel all soft and makes me melt away. I discovered this elixir at a kiosk in Italy along with a few other Tesori d'Oriente bottles. However, Jasmin di Giava was by far the best of them. My girlfriend immediately bought several bottles of it. It's hard to believe that such a high-quality scent comes from such a shabby canister. Unfortunately, I cannot attest whether Jasmin di Giava smells like Angel by Thierry Mugler, as I have not tested it yet. There will be a follow-up on that.

To get one thing straight, Jasmin di Giava is for me less of a unisex fragrance and much more of a women's scent, despite its masculinity. In my opinion, it could also be the female counterpart to Davidoff Zino, as it has similarities to Zino, especially due to the dark patchouli.

What I really appreciate about Jasmin di Giava is that it never becomes too sweet from start to finish. The opening is sweet and floral. The background is dark, smoky, mysterious, and secretive due to the patchouli, mixed with a slightly resinous, caramel tone. This is not how well-behaved women smell, but how women who have a bit of spice in them smell! I like that.
After wearing it for a while, Jasmin di Giava becomes more dignified. It remains dark until the end, but it becomes more balsamic. A few woody and spicy notes blend in.
In the end, Jasmin di Giava gradually bids farewell with an oriental tobacco note.

I don't want to miss the seductive Jasmin di Giava anymore. As soon as a woman applies it, a man has no chance of escaping. It wraps around the man and almost whips him into submission, becoming more gracious and empathetic towards him over time.

Jasmin, please never leave me again! I can't live without you!

Addendum 20.04.2016:
Since it has been mentioned several times that Jasmin di Giava is supposed to be very similar to Angel by Thierry Mugler, I also tested the heavenly blue angel star today and must say that they are 90 to 95% alike. However, there are three things that I personally find much more likable about the Italian lady from the can. 1. The top note of Angel is too much for me, while Jasmin di Giava is much more balanced. 2. I find Angel "too sweet." Jasmin di Giava, on the other hand, does not come off as sweet and is especially darker and more mysterious due to the patchouli. And 3. I think Angel smells more synthetic than Jasmin di Giava. For me, Giava is the clear winner. ;)

Erotica...Romance...I'd like to put you in a trance

If I take you from behind...push myself into your mind...

Yes, open words, but that's exactly how it is with this great surprise. Immediately, I hear Madonna's lascivious song, listening to the slow spoken word. I'm left speechless and can only nod. Yes, it fits like a glove.

Many thanks to Asya for sending this my way. The bottle is not exactly a masterpiece. But as so often, it's not the exterior that counts, but the interior. Well, it serves its purpose. It fits in the handbag and sprays quite finely. What more could one want? Considering the interior, this is complaining on a high level.

Moreover, there's something to read on the bottle. This jasmine from Java is called "moonlight" by the Indians. Additionally, the flower is said to contain valuable essential oils that have a mysterious and seductive character. Warm, sweet, and floral.

To my delight, the scent twins are exactly my type. So let's get testing.

The attribute seductive and sweet I can confirm immediately. It starts very warm and sweet, golden, heavy, sluggish, and overwhelming. Intense, but very welcome. An oriental gourmand with plenty of punch. I almost perceive that malty, caramelized roasted note from Angel Edt. Yet here it definitely goes darker and more consuming. The beginning already captivates me in awe. Perhaps a bit too sweet for unisex, but the scent has more to offer.

The golden and warm rain drizzles softly, losing some of its smooth sweetness. Smoky tones mix into the oriental-sweet mélange. By now, you can tell it's getting intense. It's dangerous. If you stare long enough into the abyss, it stares back. That's exactly how I feel here. The scent reveals more and more of its masculine side. An elegant yet dirty wood note enriches the strong aura of the fragrance. Now nothing is golden anymore, rather velvety brown, black, interspersed with shiny and valuable wood ornaments. Quite exotic, wicked. With a natural and already outrageous confidence, the scent takes the lead. It controls me with playful ease, yet always ready to take decisive action.

Towards the end, a resinous and balsamic-sweet tobacco note awaits, which makes the scent truly alluring. What a spectacle! And so erotic. I'm speechless. And all of this with a single ingredient.

The development is very exciting to observe. From sweet, gourmand, playful, and very warm to dark, masculine, woody, oriental, absolutely seductive and breathtakingly demanding.

The sillage is top-notch from start to finish and quite loud. The longevity is also very good. The scent stays with me for over ten hours. On textiles, even for days.

Initially, I perceive it as a purely feminine domain, but I find it very suitable for men as well. This oriental and woody-smoky character surely suits a man with the necessary charisma well.

The seduction has truly been captured here. Initially a warm and timid approach, it soon turns into a total loss of control at breakneck speed. This jasmine sinks its claws deep into its victim to inject its sweet and intoxicating poison.

The scent is best suited for autumn and winter. No question, for going out it's the first choice, yet in moderate doses, it's also nice for work.

A beautiful surprise. I will have to indulge in more scents from this house.

Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better...

Angel for a Small Price!

Hello everyone.
I bought the tesori d`oriente bottle on Amazon.
According to many reviews, there is a great similarity to Angel by T.M. :-)
I agree with this opinion!
It has a strong resemblance to Angel, lasts long, and the sillage is good.
Many fragrances don't last long on me, so I can hardly notice them.
In this case, I am very satisfied.
The bottle is unremarkable but fits in my handbag despite the 100 ml, as it is light and handy.
I can recommend it.

… then they carried the little angels away

A scent that you can smell from all corners and often with an intensity for which the word nuisance is not enough, you either have to love or you can only hate it.

The latter applies to me for the great Angel. After several headaches triggered by unavoidable scent clouds, a friendship with the original seems impossible for all time.
Even with Vanille Chocolat from Les Senteurs, which is considered a viable alternative, I couldn't connect due to the penetrating mushroom smell on my skin.
But fate does not give up, and so I finally came to Jasmin di Giava, probably the most affordable of all possible alternatives.

With cautious curiosity, I venture into the skin test - and I am pleasantly surprised: blissfully smiling Buddha on the golden bottle, but the scent neither sends me into a coma nor to nirvana.
Instead, I find myself at a fair between cotton candy vendors and the stand with candied apples.
Before the smell alone gives me cavities, I approach a table covered with velvet, where earthy smelling patchouli oil is offered in the most beautiful hippie manner, creating a surprisingly pleasant scent blend with the sweets.
Time and again, the scent of roasted almonds, caramel, and dark chocolate sneaks in from somewhere.
Or is it the punch with amaretto that is being served just a few steps away?
Yes, that’s what I’m in the mood for now. I treat myself to a cup, engage in conversation with nice people, we have another round, laugh, and have fun. I don’t even know how long I’ve been there. Somehow the hours just flew by.
Before I get too carried away and jump on the carousel or everything starts spinning without help, I say goodbye and head home in high spirits. There’s still a light hint of the fair on my skin.
And I leave the day behind me, drifting off to dreamland carried by the little angels.

Overall, Jasmin di Giava has surprised me very positively.
Although I did not directly compare it to the mother of all gourmands for the reasons mentioned above, in my opinion, it comes very close to the original, has no unwanted side effects with moderate dosing, is clearly perceptible, and lasts well.
Price-wise, it is absolutely unbeatable.
While I couldn’t necessarily recognize jasmine and prefer less sweet and more natural scents myself, it is definitely worth a recommendation for gourmand fragrance lovers.

Absolutely successful "dupe". Sweetness and spice perfectly balanced. For 5-10 euros, you can grab it without hesitation (if you like chocolate and patchouli).

In the first minutes, it resembles Angel. Then just a touch of Angel.
But still, the scent is quite nice.
It costs €6.90, hello. That's good for that.

Not sweet at all! At first, it’s even fresh and orangey, then jasmine and lots of patchouli and amber. Fruits and chocolate are just a bonus, I love it!
