565 is a number from one curious story. The protagonist was neither that handsome nor rich, but his name was Casanova. 565 is the number of ladies who had a relationship with Casanova during his life.

Athanor is a scented incarnation of the 50th hexagon from the ancient Chinese Book of Change.

50/“Ting”, alchemic athanor or cauldron – a symbol of change within, the man being the crucible in which new energies come about from various ingredients transforming and merging.

Mendittorosa in their unique alchemic way try to explore the metaphysics of the universe through perfume formulas.

Athanor is a rich incense perfume with an unusual sulfur streak.

There is a tiny gold plated bronze nugget in the bottle and the cap is a miniature of two atlas-like figures holding the athanor of change.

Note from the brand:

“[Use] your nose. Always. Feel the sulfur evaporating from the process. Giving way to a delicate body of saffron and flowers, finding its space between incense and precious wood. Let the Athanor enhance your personality and lead your way.”

The azalai is a caravan route through the Saharan desert where camel trains have transported salt and gold for a thousand years. Along the route stood a single acacia tree, the only living thing in an ocean of sand. 150 km from any other, this was the loneliest tree in the world, a sacred testament to the resilience of life, that had guided caravans for centuries. When a drunken truck driver crashed into it in 1973, killing it, the sacred tree passed from legend to myth. This phantom tree in the desert is the inspiration for Azalai.

The scent is as an olfactory impression of gold, with radiant warmth from saffron and blood orange, and the plush musk velvione (a material redolent of the powdery scent of a newborn’s head). Gum acacia, a syrup made from acacia sap, provides sugary sweetness balanced by salty amber and incense. A touch of mint tea and dried fruit pays homage to the Tuareg caravan riders.

In fleeting top notes Myrtle, fragile as the promises of love, encounters the preciousness of saffron, merging into an indomitable desire for eros.

The luxuriant notes of honey are exalted by the jasmine night breeze that pervades the home of the chaste lovers, among the frescoes, on a thalamus of rose petals.

The mysterious notes of incense and sweet vanilla blend with the oriental contamination of amber and labdanum that fades into the ancient aroma of agar wood, sealing the essence of Castiamanti, expression of rich Pompeii.

Grande Ile blends the bounty of Madagascar — vanilla, pink pepper berries and black pepper — into a sensual and comforting spicy amber. This award-winning scent blends a warm ambery accord with clove, caramel nuances and a rich woody bouquet. Contrasting notes of dry cedar, creamy vanilla, and resinous touches create depth and intrigue. Grande Ile’s enveloping trail unfolds gently on the skin, revealing evolving facets throughout the day. Depending on who you ask, this intriguing beauty moirés between Oriental lilies, a vanilla sauna, and a smoky souk.
