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 suits a calm, self-possessed presence in close quarters, when the air is warm and the light is still bright enough to catch the scent’s citrus and blossom shimmer. It feels especially natural in a quiet, reflective setting where its incense and woods can unfold without losing their airy clarity.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, Dilmun wears comfortably as a light-to-moderate veil rather than a heavy statement. A few sprays are enough to let the neroli and orange blossom stay luminous, while the incense, woods and vanilla settle softly on skin and become more intimate in the drydown.
Who it’s for
For those who like orange blossom with structure: citrusy, green and slightly resinous rather than sweet or powdery. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy clean but characterful compositions, Mediterranean brightness, and fragrances that balance floral radiance with incense and woods.

The nose
Lorenzo Villoresi Lorenzo Villoresi is the Florentine artisan behind the house, known for fragrances that feel scholarly, atmospheric and deeply rooted in classical perfumery. His style often blends Mediterranean brightness, resinous depth and a strong sense of place, with compositions that read like imagined landscapes or historical reveries rather than simple accords. With Dilmun, Villoresi channels his love of myth and travel into a luminous orange blossom composition. The fragrance reflects his signature balance of radiance and texture: airy citrus and white florals are anchored by incense, woods and vanilla, giving the scent a contemplative, handcrafted finish.
Lorenzo Villoresi’s story
Lorenzo Villoresi is a Florentine maison built around artisanal craftsmanship, cultural memory and a distinctly personal approach to perfumery. The brand treats fragrance as an expressive, almost literary medium, drawing on travel, antiquity and the traditions of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern scent-making.
Dilmun’s concept
Dilmun takes its name and imagery from the ancient Mesopotamian paradise, the “Garden of the Sun,” evoked here as a place of flowering branches, sweet fruit and lapis-blue foliage. The composition translates that vision into a bright orange blossom and neroli fragrance, with incense, opoponax, woods and laurel adding a mythic, sun-warmed depth.
Extra info
Dilmun is named after the legendary Mesopotamian paradise often described as the Garden of the Sun. It belongs to Villoresi’s myth-inspired fragrance universe, alongside other compositions drawn from ancient stories and imagined landscapes.
