Patchouli is a great creation of Lorenzo Villoresi. With patchouli as starring ingredient, this precious and concentrated perfume oil version is elegantly layered and combined with lavender, cedar and benzoin resin.
Earthy and full, intense like deep purple velvet. Lorenzo’s take on patchouli can conjure memories from the ’60s when it was widely use as perfume.

Perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi is greatly inspired by his many trips to the Middle East and its rich variety of scents. His talent for creating perfumes was confirmed in 2006 when he won the Prix Francois Coty: the most important acknowledgment for the artistic career of a perfumer, and Lorenzo was the first to win this prize as an independent perfumer! The most beloved scent by Lorenzo Villoresi is Teint de Neige. A unique, and very powdery perfume. When visiting Florence, a trip to Lorenzo's atelier and museum at Via de Bardi is surely worth your while. He works from his family home, which has a wonderful view over the river the Arno. In the house next to his own, Lorenzo opened a Centre-Academy of the Art of Perfumes in 2018, which is a knowledge center regarding scents. With a museum, fragrance garden, and education on scents and perfumes.

Woody
Woody fragrances are full of character and indeed very woodsy. They can be warm, soothing and creamy, but also dry and spicy. Key ingredients are cedar wood, patchouli, sandalwood and/or vetiver. Oudh (agarwood), Palo Santo and guaiac wood have also joined the perfumer's palet, just like the fantastic synthetics such as Javanol or Iso-E-Super.

This is the most important recognition for a perfumer's artistic career, and he won it as the first independent perfumer! Lorenzo's most loved fragrance is Teint de Neige. A unique and very powdery perfume.
