Sacred fire, ritual and rebirth. Mendittorosa Athanor is one of the house's most mysterious and spiritually intense creations, an Extrait de Parfum at 35% from the Talismans Extreme line, pairing saffron and cassis with iris, cypriol and smoke over cashmeran, guaiac wood, Java vetiver and black amber. Considered one of the darkest and most profound fragrances in the Mendittorosa universe, it was composed by perfumer Luca Maffei, with concept and creative design by Stefania Squeglia.

The Story

The athanor is the ancient alchemical furnace used for transformation and purification, and the fragrance represents inner evolution, sacred fire, ritual and rebirth. The house describes a journey from diffused heat through a cold silver phase to a gold finish, and the bottle cap was made by goldsmith and sculptor Carmine Borreli ("Nibo").

How It Smells

Opening
Dense, smoky resins create an atmosphere of burning woods, sacred incense, leather and glowing embers, with sulphur, cassis and saffron.

Heart
Iris, cypriol and fumencens (incense) add a cool, earthy, smoky core.

Dry Down
Creamy balsamic warmth and earthy woods emerge beneath the smoke: cashmeran, guaiac wood, Java vetiver and black amber.
