Straight from Aedes:
The ancient Persian castle of Alamut inspired Lorenzo Villoresi to create a fragrance capturing the opulence of its fabled gardens. Luxurious like brocaded silk and warm like Middle Eastern nights, Alamut unfolds in layers of jasmine and osmanthus. Made intoxicating by the narcotic richness of narcissus and tuberose, the heart of the composition melds into the sensual base of woods and amber. An intriguing and striking fragrance, Alamut marries classical sumptuousness with edgy modern glamour. Alamut Eau de Toilette Spray 3.4oz $90
They had me at osmanthus.
Anyone try it yet?

Eh. Potpourri. Would make a better candle.
You mean the had you 'at' Osmanthus? Yeah, I bet they complete you.
Tbone: It might be nice.
I loved the red bottle.
Anon: I have edited it and Aedes always "completes" me.
This is on my "must try" list for fall. I'm hoping it will be non-potpourri on my skin! I usually enjoy wearing LV scents.
And what a bottle!
It wasn't nice on me, but go on and give it a shot. Why not?
not many scents have been able to make me physically nauseous, but there you have it, alamut did. (as did narcisse noir, which i came around to love anyway, but only during the smallest timeframe of maybe twelve hours a month; then, it is a smart art deco scent). it's just too much, the leather, the incense ánd the tubereuse. i sprayed it on a piece of paper, and had to remove it from my study; it smelt like a pukebag. nice bottle though (ha!). but, disclaimer, i am simply not a lover of villoresi's: they're generally too loud and lack both mystery and depth, is what i find (which is why i do worship lutens).
