Teint de Neige by Lorenzo Villoresi
Teint de Neige is a powdery classic in which Villoresi evokes elegance and a bygone era. This fragrance is inspired by the Belle Époque — a period when luxury and femininity were expressed through fragrant talcum powders, bathing rituals, and floral accords.
“Teint de Neige” literally means “the tint of snow.” With this name, Lorenzo Villoresi wanted to highlight the soft, light, and poetic character of the scent. The perfume is known for its long-lasting sillage — the fragrant trail it leaves behind — and is available in various products, from eau de toilette and eau de parfum to luxurious body care items.
