Heaven on earth: Alamut.

If we were to believe Marco Polo’s story - Alamut was the fortress and headquarters of the order of assassins. In Alamut among other things, according to Marco, the new recruits could experience the demo version of heaven. An assassin to be would be inebriates by some potion (even though Marco never mention which drug it was, highly likely it was hashish). Then the recruit would be taken to a pleasure garden with drinks, food and beautiful maiden. Afterwards the head of the order would explain that absolute loyalty and fearless determination would guarantee an afterlife of this kind.

Lorenzo Villorezi’s Alamut is an intense sensual rose resting on a cloud of ambergris.

The name Alyazia is associated with a rare and delicate gazelle, symbolising grace, elegance and natural beauty. With its traditional Bedouin roots, the name has a strong connection to the heritage of the Arabian Gulf. The fragrance opens with plush, tender violet, illuminated by a solar heart of wild strawberry and orange blossom. The cushioned base of iris, vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood extends the “ahhhhhhh” of this comforting scent.

The sun rises, flooding the great expanses of the plains, gracing the wilderness with a wash of pure light. The sky is clear. The air is fresh.

The fragrance opens with a luminous burst of citrus: tangerine (South Africa) and blood orange (South Africa). A bright heart of enveloping orange flower (Morocco) and zesty ginger (Nigeria) is supported by a woody base of cedarwood Atlas (Morocco).

Réserve en Afrique eaux de parfum feature responsibly sourced naturals, and are free from parabens, phthalates, UV filters and colorants. Their natural alcohol base is derived from beetroots, and they are a PETA-listed vegan & cruelty-free brand.

A floral abundance of radiant orange blossom and lily-of-the-valley, given extra oomph by sultry jasmine sambac. An incredibly holographic progression from dewy green to heady roawr, aided and abetted by musk and guiacwood.

My body nestled against your arm, we strolled among the orange trees near the Sacré Cœur, my dangerous heels dancing on the cobblestones. your confident air, my swaying movement… you whispered the improvised poems of our nascent romance.

A fabulous allure. A fine balance between black and white with a floral accord literally enveloped in magnificent incense. Two opposite poles attracting one another. White floral absolutes – orange blossom and jasmine – express depth and mystery. The resins symbolize the Parisian elegance of black. Benzoin, myrrh, opoponax, patchouli and a black amber accord create the intensity of this splendid fragrance.

Its name gives the clue. Orange tree in Spanish Arabic. There you are, standing on a Moroccan roof. An exquisite coolness wafts up, chasing the clinging heat of the day. The curtains move lazily in the breeze. Shadows of orange trees stretch in the setting sun.

«There are places whose scents are stored in memory much longer than landscapes. When the red spider lily, the white lily ginger and the frangipane bloom, encircling the streets, and the lotus opens onto the smallest mirrors of water, the landscapes become fragrance in turn. Among the flowers of Bali, the inhabitants have made the Frangipane, the emblem of their island to offer to the gods of the Hindu pantheon. Centered to ceremonies, dances, offerings where smells and colors mix until they become one, it seemed to me then that the scent of those flowers told the beauty and diversity of the island.»

A towering, skyscraper-sized beehive, dripping with honey. See the bee, be the bee. That’s you, waggling your cute black’n’yellow striped booty in a dance through a golden flow of labdanum and leathery orange blossom with powdery mini-explosions of mimosa, tonka and heliotrope. Buzz!

A rampage through a fantasy meadow. Lily-of-the-valley, orange blossom and lavender are crushed underfoot as you run riot across beauty. Lilac and lemon assert themselves in the carnage. Tonka bean and white musk ensures that this extrait strength perfume stays and plays.
