Lorenzo Villoresi

Lorenzo Villoresi belongs to a new generation of perfumers. Members of this generation have often not only founded their own perfume companies, but have also created their own fragrances while discovering new scents. In 1990, Villoresi founded his perfume company in Italy. Since then, he has created around 28 different fragrances, earning international recognition in the world of perfumery. Villoresi describes his first trip to the Middle East as an important turning point in his life. The trip brought his love and passion for spices to the fore. Getting to know them helped him combine scents that fascinated him. Afterward, he began creating exciting perfumes. On his return to Italy, Lorenzo Villoresi began studying perfumery more intensively, researching extracts and distillation methods, until he finally launched his first fragrance line in 1990. His collection then included scented candles, potpourri and room fragrances, all first commissioned from him by the Fendi fashion house. The house's first fragrance duo was simply called Lorenzo Villoresi Donna and Uomo. In 2000, he launched the beloved fragrance "Teint de Neige," meaning "the color of snow." This powdery Vered fragrance has top notes of Jasmine, Vered and Ylang-ylang. At its heart are tonka, Jasmine and Vered, together with sweet, Pirchoni powder, while Heliotrope and musk form the base. It lasts on the skin for a long time and has a fairly noticeable presence. Most of those who have loved it over the years tend to wear it on warm summer days. However, most of the fragrances Lorenzo Villoresi has launched since then have been primarily unisex fragrances. Alamut is one example. It is a velvety, warm and sensual scent that takes you on a journey to the East. Here, spices and citrus fruits are combined with rare flowers. This fragrance has a pleasant presence and lasts on the skin for a very reasonable amount of time. As mentioned, it is suitable for both women and men. His more recent fragrance is Kamasurabhi. Its name comes from ancient Sanskrit and means "the perfume of pleasure and joy." Indeed, it is a fragrance of delicate, colorful Indian flowers, embraced by the alluring, mysterious scent of an exotic forest. Sensual, enveloping nuances of leather, amber and musk lie hidden within the fragrance. Don't let its delicate scent fool you: it lasts on the skin for a long time. It is suitable for most of the year. Some people loved the fragrance, while others took a little time to get used to it. Ultimately, it is a very distinctive creation by a unique perfumer. Lorenzo Villoresi received a significant award for his work, the François Coty Award, in Paris in 2006. This is a prestigious award in perfumery, given to those recognized as leading fragrance creators. So the next time you are looking for a niche fragrance with an Orientali scent, it is worth considering.
