Neither the umpteenth mono fragrance nor fragrance twins - that's good!
As it seems to occur more often with Tesori, it smells a little different than one would expect from the name.
Tiaré is on it and in it, but not only According to the list of ingredients, the fragrance contains genuine tiare extract. But this is not one of the usual Tiaré Monoi scents.
I also clearly smell orange blossom-orange-citrus mix and a jasmine note that goes towards jasmine tea, with this typical astringent green edge. The whole thing is already a somewhat woozy wall of flowers, but at the same time fresh, and in the overall impression I find the fragrance balanced, not too heavy or cloggy, and also not too soapy, clean or chaotic.
Ylang-ylang and tiaré make the fragrance look more tropical, but they do not determine it.
Elie Saab Le Parfum is listed here as the fragrance twin, and by then there are already some similarities.
But the sweet honey note of Le Parfum does not exist here like that.
Instead, there is a chord in it that reminds me a bit of Loulou, but not quite as spicy. I can't stand many fragrances with a sweet musky base, but this combination is one of the exceptions. Maybe it's also because the flowery jasmine tea freshness from the beginning lasts for hours and the fragrance doesn't seem stuffy. It actually works in summer (but then in the evening).
This was my second Tesori blind purchase, which was absolutely worth it.
I wasn't looking for a "Dupe", but I was expecting something from a similar direction, and that's about right.
There is nothing wrong with durability and silage, but I am not so enthusiastic about the dented aluminium bottle. But somewhere you have to save money when you sell perfumes for 4.50.
