Dilmun is heaven for the ancient people of Mesopotamia, the Garden of the Sun where bushes are laden with buds, where flowering plants climb, and lapis lazuli leaves are mixed with sweet fruits. A sunny, radiant fragrance where notes of Neroli and Orange blossoms develop against a background of Opoponax and Incense, aromatic woods and Vanilla, with green undertones of Laurel leaves.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Dilmun suggests a sunlit courtyard where orange blossom hangs in the air and crushed leaves interrupt its sweetness. Its floral brightness and quieter resinous undertow suit an unhurried daytime presence: welcoming at close quarters, but with more depth than a simple citrus splash.
How to wear
Spring and mild summer weather suit its balance of citrus, blossoms and green leaves. Start with one or two sprays on uncovered skin, letting the floral and resinous facets develop together. In stronger heat, apply lightly; the vanilla and opoponax give the composition warmth beyond its bright opening.
Who it’s for
For lovers of neroli and orange blossom who want green definition and resinous depth rather than uncomplicated citrus freshness. Dilmun appeals to tastes that favour luminous florals with aromatic leaves, restrained sweetness and a warm woody background.

The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi is an independent Florentine perfumer whose work draws on travel, aromatic traditions and a richly textured palette of flowers, woods, spices and resins. Known for creations such as the powdery Teint de Neige, he favours an individual artistic language over passing trends. In Dilmun, he brings neroli and orange blossom into conversation with green leaves and warm resins.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Founded in Florence, Lorenzo Villoresi approaches perfume as an independent, multicultural art. The house combines an emphasis on raw-material quality and carefully controlled production with imaginative compositions shaped by travel and aromatic traditions. Its understated luxury rests on the scent itself rather than trend-led spectacle.
Dilmun’s concept
Dilmun takes its name and imagery from the mythical paradise of ancient Mesopotamia, imagined by the house as a Garden of the Sun filled with flowers, jewel-like leaves and fruit. Neroli and orange blossom give that vision its radiance, while laurel, incense and opoponax add green and resinous depth. Villoresi has distinguished such mythological naming from his actual composing process: this is an evocative interpretation, not a reconstruction of an ancient perfume.
Extra info
The floral theme runs through the composition rather than appearing only at the opening: neroli and orange blossom feature in both the top and heart. Laurel adds a distinctive leafy accent, while the base includes elemi alongside vanilla, cedarwood and sandalwood.
