This fragrance surely contains more notes than the lotus flower. It smells like creamy sweet and exotic flowers. It is soft, light, less edgy and complex. Smells rich, intense and long lasting. Fior di loto bottle is metallic with plastic cover, but passed in the department of quality when compared to some nicely designed fragrance bottles. it is finely made of top notes: orange and peach, middle notes: jasmine, lilly of the valley and tuberose, and lastly, the base notes which consist of vanilla, sandalwood and musk.Quiet unusual, extremely long lasting, superb sillage. it is excellent value for money, much cheaper than other perfumes but definitely does not smell cheap, it is heavy, oriental and sweet. this very tesori d'oriente is made in Italy. the difference is clear and that's the reason you should go for it. Buy for yourself and buy for friends. The sweetest perfume i have ever tried, sweet like caramel
