TESORI D'ORIENTE Treasures of East Perfume Spray Byzantium 100 ml

Picked this up after seeing it mentioned on a fragrance forum and honestly I'm impressed for what it costs. It's warm with a slightly spiced, incense-like dry-down the sort of thing you'd expect to pay three times as much for in a department store. Sillage is decent for the first couple of hours then it settles into a comforting skin scent that lasts the rest of the day. The bottle feels weightier than I expected and the spray atomiser is fine. Worth a punt if you're after something a bit different from the usual high-street offerings.

I read reviews on Fragrantica saying this was similar to Montale Sweet Oriental Dream, I was optimistic seeing as the price of this is so low but all I can say is wow! It's amazing and really long lasting and yes it does indeed smell like the afore mentioned fragrance! I sprayed it on myself at bedtime and it's absolutely divine, lovely cosy fragrance. I highly recommend trying this😍

I was bought the bath cream as a gift and loved it, so wanted to know what the perfume was like. Answer … lovely! Even better, the scent actually lasts! Only thing that spoils it is the ‘plasticky’ top but forgive it for that!

Purchased as I had heard good things, but it reminds me of very heavily scented old-timey talcum powder. The powdery rose scent gives off an almost smokey turkish delight quality. It's not awful, but personally I find it too overpowering and I would only really wear this at home.

i thought this would smell like the shower cream which smelled heavenly. this literally smells like off brand hand sanitizer. did not meet my expectations AT ALL

I think of myself as a Cognoscenti when it comes to fragrance. I own over 500 scents from cheap bottles like this up to bottles worth £1000+. Although this is cheap enough to use as a room fragrance, it gets me so many compliments. It's a lovely combo of resinous Amber and Almonds. Stunning and smells expensive. Those who know me and my collection refuse to believe the price of this one, it's that good.

Smells very nice and last long too

The bottle arrived damaged with a huge dent. Smells ok but a bit cheap. I use it as air freshener.

Ya es la segunda vez que lo compro y no será la única. Me encanta este perfume, es tan económico y un aroma tan hermoso y único, no se parece a ningún otro perfume que haya olido antes. Este perfume se siente como un abrazo, además tiene una enorme duración y estela para lo económico que es, en piel dura horas y en ropa días..

Adoro la linea tesori d’oriente, in particolare byzantium. Ho acquistato questo profumo perché innamorata del l’ammorbidente. In realtà il profumo non ha lo stesso odore dell’ammorbidente, ma è un profumo dolce e talcato. È comunque molto buono e ricevo tanti complimenti quando lo utilizzo.

This is a phenomenal cheapie. I’ve recently been obsessed with finding the perfect powdery perfumes with very specific scent profiles, and I wanted a sweet almond powder. This is the PERFECT delicious, airy, marzipan scent I was looking for. Keep in mind that it is a powdery bomb, and for the first hour that powder scent is strong; but it never takes away from the nuance of the rest of the notes. To describe the scent, think of a lovely almond cake. Sweet & nutty almond, honey, vanilla, a bready nuance, and just the slightest pinch of cinnamon— this is not a spicy scent in the least. Think of that beautifully crafted and sweet almond cake, and then you sprinkle powdered sugar on top. This perfume is exactly that, but with a gentle freshness to the powdery sugar scent that comes off as vanillic baby powder. It’s gorgeous. And in a breeze, the scent carries. When it dries down (about two hours after spraying) there is a very faint whisper of soft, pink rose that peeks through. This perfume is feminine, delicate, and delicious. Despite that, I could see men who like sweet scents wearing this too, because of the nuttiness of the fragrance. I just got this yesterday and am already reviewing it because even immediately after being moved around during shipping it is a powerhouse of a fragrance. Excellent sillage, a gorgeous scent bubble, and moderate-to-high projection. I sprayed my wrists yesterday and didn’t need to put my nose to my skin at all to smell it. The scent was radiating from that small area of skin and constantly tickling my nose. The scent was still present and moderate for 4 hours until I showered. It’s addictive! I wore it again after my shower and could still smelled the scent when I woke up this morning. This might be too sweet for some; and others might be reminded of vintage perfumes or soap and reject this perfume as being an “old lady” scent— purely because anything powdery tends to draw a vintage comparison for people because of the perfumed talcum powder formerly used in most older beauty products; and others equate powdery scents with soaps & deodorant. This isn’t musky/clean/aldehydic enough to come off soapy, in my opinion. And there really isn’t a true scent of boudoir makeup to it. I think this perfume shines best in the heat and breeze, when it can truly warm on the skin and the powdery scent can be uplifted by the air. However, it would be more tame and still enjoyable in colder weather as well. If you like powdery scents & gourmands, and if you’re searching for a gourmand that is airy enough to wear in the summer, this is definitely it!

Parfum très agréable. Il n'est pas très fort mais tiens plutôt bien. J'en met sur les vêtements pour en assurer la durée.

Heel fijne, zachte geur
