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.

Perfumer: Jean-Claude Ellena

«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.»

About Crystal Saffron by Matiere Premiere

How does Crystal Saffron differ from other oriental spicy perfumes?
Crystal Saffron stands out through its unique combination of saffron, musk, ambroxan, and incense, creating a balance of warm spice, smokiness, and ambergris-like clarity. This contrasts with many oriental spicy perfumes that may emphasise heavier oud, sweeter resins, or more floral notes.
Are there fragrances here that include saffron like Crystal Saffron?
Yes, Arabesque by Ormonde Jayne also features saffron alongside musk, offering a similarly warm and spicy element. However, the presence of oud and rose gives it a different, richer character.
Which fragrances share the incense note found in Crystal Saffron?
Mumbai Cologne by Mabra and Squid by Zoologist both include incense, contributing to a smoky aspect akin to Crystal Saffron. Their compositions differ through additional citrus or sweeter spicy notes.
