Orange + flower cream
D. starts with me heavy, floral-creamy and oppressive. I spontaneously feel reminded of a Penhaligon fragrance.... But after about 15 minutes, the orange creeps up and also drags its peel behind it, bringing a turpentine association. After a while, it all blends and gives a sweet fruity-floral creamy scent mi a slight tartness of orange peel. At some point, it all blends into a fruity-floral and creamy fragrance.

On the second day, the orange dominates: fresh, fruity with a certain sweetness. This flies up again and again and holds so the whole day. Only later, when I sniff times with my nose above the wrist, I notice that the flower cream has docked there. The shell I now no longer perceive at all.

The test course shows me that my nose already on the 2nd day the fragrance sorted differently than the first spray.

H/S: I can perceive the fragrance throughout the day. I do not pull a fragrance cloud behind me, but yet he is always present. The charisma is close to the person.

I like #Dilmun well.

Italian orange dream
The fragrance starts with an incredibly intense citrusy freshness. After a few moments, however, a very fruity and deliciously perfumed orange blossom emerges. I feel like I've been transported to a blooming orange garden on a hot summer's day. The orange is sweet and juicy and powdery or creamy. Very, very delicious. I really can't resist this fragrance. Even though it may not be the most modern or complex overall, it brings back soooo many memories for me, of my grandma for example. She didn't use this perfume, but I probably remember her smelling like this. When I put the fragrance on, I have to smell it over and over again, I can't help it. I immediately feel comfortable and at ease. The more the composition develops, the more I perceive an "eau-de-Cologne/Cologne-water character", but in a very noble and warm way. Personally, I don't use the perfume on myself because I think it has a more grown-up or older feel to it. I also miss the rough edges that are important to me personally. But nevertheless, sometimes I feel like something simple and nice and soothing and then I spray it on. Like a little spa treatment for the soul. I immediately feel the sun's rays on my skin and dream of summer...

Subtle and Sophisticated
I have a friend who graciously mules bottles of Lorenzo Villoresi for me from Italy when we see each other quite regularly at our jobs on a tropical island. My most recent acquisition is this one which I requested blind, going on the strength of the note pyramid. Dilmun is a fantastic fragrance! I'm really glad to have it!!

As with the other Villoresi fragrances I own, there seems to be a huge number of components to make up something that in the end smells rather simple. I own Alamut (which is wonderful) and Teint de Neige (which is not) but Dilmun is by far my favorite acquisition from House Villoresi. This fragrance makes no pretenses about what it is … an honest rendition of glorious Orange Blossom, Neroli and Petigrain with a woody sweetness and hints of resin.
The Citrus notes here are present, but fleeting as they should be and don't overpower. Gorgeous Neroli takes pole position and is well supported by Petigrain and Orange Blossom, the sweetness of the latter a constant hum throughout the skin lifespan of Dilmun.
Having had the opportunity of wearing this in the tropics and also in the colder early Winter weather of home, I find that Dilmun appreciates heat and humidity more, where it blossoms for 6 or 7 hours. Its lifespan is roughly half of that in the cold. Fair enough then … I'll wear it just in the tropics :).

The more I delve into this House the more I start to enjoy its wares. I can recommend this fragrance to all who love Neroli and its Cologne like attributes on the proviso to save it for hot weather where it truly shines.

Dilmun
Dilmun opens sweet and powdery on my skin. I smell sweet flowers, jasmine and orange blossom, with a slightly bitter base which must be the citrus oils. These green and bitter notes balance the flowers and add an interesting second layer to the floral notes. At first the two different note types struggle with each other until they find their correct balance. Later on the fragrance turns into a powdery orange blossom scent as rose and vanilla notes have taken over as the base in this stage of the fragrance. The dry down is pale aromatic wood.
