Heaven on earth: Alamut
Posted on
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 determination would guarantee an afterlife of this kind.
Lorenzo Villorezi’s Alamut is an intense sensual rose resting on a cloud of ambergris.
Notes: amber, ambergris, jasmine, musk, orange blossom, patchouli, rose, sandalwood, tuberose.
