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. ;)

I completely agree! Angel is even more intense and richer, and it lasts longer too. The Tesori is definitely more socially acceptable ;-)
