“A warm and sensual fragrance, a journey to the Orient, a fragrant arabesque. The rich, opulent and velvety flowers of a Thousand and One Nights, dreams of secret gardens in the moonlight of the fresh Oriental nights. The enveloping scent of rare and precious woods, the seducing embrace of Tonkin Musk, the profound and mysterious aroma of Amber.”

​

Lorenzo Villoresi Firenze 'Alamut' is soapy spicy intensity that never quits.

Now, I love soapy scents but this is immense..!

Picture this; Imperial Leather soap layered with Chanel No.5 (sounds good so far) but then add a bustling exotic bazaar complete with spices, goats, noisy vendors, flying carpets and snake charmers.

It's a very Arabian Oriental with so much depth, complexity and longevity so I find it way too full-on and a little too masculine for my liking.
