Teint de Neige - bath salt

“The colour of snow”: the iconic powdery fragrance by Italian master-perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi, as a scented bath salt in a luxury jar.

Teint de Neige, the delicate rosy hue of a powdered face. The unmistakable scent of perfumed powders, the fragrance of face powder, the perfume of talc. An aroma delicately permeated by the richness of the natural extracts of precious flowers, recalling the light, images and atmosphere of the belle-époque.

Chandler Burr quote: “It is a well-built perfume; Teint de Neige lasts on skin, diffuses beautifully, and is distinct. As for the aesthetics of the thing, its name — “color of snow”  — is conceptual, poetic. It has the delicate rosy aroma of some sepia-tinted era in which rose was king and perfumes were of an elegance now antiquated by the brash, strong, movie-screen beauty of the Envys of the world.”

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.
