Ambroxi-Perversion

The brand Tesori d'Oriente, a market leader in body care in Italy, has delighted us with many affordable fragrances. "Africa", "Byzantinum", "Royal Oud dello Yemen", "Fior di Loto", "Ayurveda"... the list is long, containing over 20 different product lines.
"Muschio Bianco" is the best seller. There are fabric softeners, scented candles, bath foam, deodorant spray, hand cream, bar soap, etc. in the popular series and of course last but not least the well-known baby powder-scented Eau de Toilette, which has a more than reasonable price and has turned one or the other into a fan over the years.
I have also purchased and used several fragrances from Tesori d'Oriente, and so far I have been satisfied and often pleasantly surprised by my blind buys.
So it was only natural that I had to bring "Persian Dream" into my home.
Well.
Now take a deep breath and take a break.
Don't get upset, I tell myself, don't get upset.
What's in a name?
Marketing. Marketing. Marketing.

"A strange people the Persians,
have many interesting diversions.
Make love in the day
the usual way -
thus saving the night for
perversions."

A limerick.
I had to read it aloud in my first semester of English studies in front of 20 other students, "because you will find this amusing, my dear," said the professor.
No. I was not amused.
(As humorless as I was at 19, well, I still am today, as some here can surely confirm - *winking smiley*).

When I smelled the carelessly thrown together "Persian Dream," the limerick came back to me.
The scent is fruity at first. It starts with an artificial pomegranate note.
Yes, many pomegranates are eaten in Iran. And one of the most famous dishes is called "Fessenjoon," chicken or duck in walnut-pomegranate sauce, I admit, a poem.

However, the slight acidity of the pomegranate does not suit the Tesori product. At this point, my daughter (family tester K. - expression borrowed from Stanze, who hosts a family tester M.) and I were still willing to let the scent pass as a shower gel simulator or as toilet spray.
But then only Ambroxan follows. In a very high concentration. And this unfortunately not at all sympathetic chemical club has come to stay.
For hours, nothing happens.
Only Ambroxan. Remains.
During this time, one could dream of Esfahan, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. One could imagine people from all nations celebrating the liberation of the country from an oppressive regime that has kept the Iranians in unfreedom since 1979 in the Golestan Palace in Tehran.
One could so much...

Even mothballs would have been more pleasant to me in "Persian Dream" than Ambroxan.
After all, our Persian carpets used to smell of this stuff, is it called naphthalene?
Two days after spraying in the toilet area, "Persian Dream" is still present.
For under five euros, a remarkable performance, brother.

We still didn't leave the bottle there... in the toilet. There are far less caustic methods to mask certain odors.
Window open!
And as for "Persian Dream"... just save me from the perversion, dear Persian.
Yours faithfully,
Your morning dew drop.

Love your words a thousand times over. So spicy and funny, described so succinctly. Unfortunately, I don't like the scent either.

Yes, the top note is quite fruity. I'm not a big fan of that either. But it settles down, and later on, I find it quite charming without the fruit...

Maybe the perfumer thought Ambroxan was also found in Persia like Esfahan. A scent as a misunderstanding. I think a mothball scent would be a really funny idea. Maybe for Etat libre d'Orange.

Too bad, I like their scents.
But now and then you come across strangers here that just don't appeal!
It's just a shame about the name.

Oh dear, that must be terrible. Maybe it can be used to keep people away. If you want to have the elevator to yourself or something. But then you’d have to wear a nose clip or have a bad cold yourself. However, there are also Ambroxan lovers! Feel free to use the term fam. tester(s). I didn’t really invent it either. xD I also have family tester Q. Mine are named after James Bond letters.

I've received Muschio bianco as a gift twice. It's funny, really. I don't think it's that bad; this one seems unnecessary.

Then Persian Dream is probably more of a nightmare. I'm generally cautious with Tesori d'Oriente fragrances. Some even upset my stomach. My favorite is Muschio Bianco, and I also like the bar soap, even though I'm not a big musk fan.

You're truly not amused ;)... And you don't like Ambroxan. That would be the perfect scent for me when I'm upset. Just spray it in the toilet, flush it down, and wash away the frustration. Then it would have a reason to exist. Hehe ;)

I've also smelled some good things from Tesori d'Oriente, but I wouldn't rely on it, as your experience confirms! This Persian Dream will probably just remain a distant dream for me!

I'd love to impregnate your professor from back then with that stuff ;-)

Phew! Looking at it that way, the three points awarded were probably an act of mercy. A trophy for the verbal annihilation of the pomegranate nightmare.

The Tesori scents I know also have quite a bit of straightforward punch, both good and bad.
Your comment, on the other hand, is humorously winding, with many diversions... :)

Since I already know other fragrances from this house, I naturally wondered how this one would be. Thanks to you, I know now and can confidently steer clear of it. I'm familiar with the term "no fun." But knowing when to really bring out a great one... you clearly get that too. Thumbs up for this great comment and here's a trophy for that!

Sorry, babe, but I find the limerick so funny! Lisa Fitz sang back then: My husband is Persian, a total pervert... XD But the rest of the text too, so many funny highlights, bro ;) Fessenjoon and Muschio Bianco are going on the list! Just thinking about the first one makes my mouth water, mmmmmhhhh!

It looks like "Marrakech Essenze e Spezie - Ambra e Zafferano | Tesori d'Oriente" is a real highlight!

You can't blame the marketing department; the name is good and promising - but what follows is really nasty! I was at a mountain hut over the weekend, with an outdoor toilet. It might actually be worth considering there... ;-)

Tesori d'Oriente really has some beautiful scents, but also some less appealing ones. You can definitely skip this one. Such overpowering chemical bombs aren't for me either.

I can relate. I don't know the Persian Dream, but the Cašmir dupe was terrible with a sharp synthetic note.

Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that!
I was just thinking the other day while walking through my commented fragrances: "Tesori d'Oriente" - those are really nice!
And now you had to deal with such a miss.
Thanks for your comment, because I definitely would have grabbed "Persian Dream" if I had come across it. This way, I can save myself the testing, as I trust your judgment.
