A cultured, earthy, and timeless interpretation of the king of roots.
Lorenzo Villoresi's Vetiver is not your classic clean or refreshing barbershop scent; it's a sensory journey that celebrates the raw material in its most authentic, wild, and aristocratic form. Created in 1994, this masterpiece of Italian artistic perfumery revolves around the precious Bourbon Vetiver root (from Reunion Island and Indonesia), known for its smoky, bitter, and deeply earthy profile.
The opening is intense and almost primordial: a botanical and balsamic surge where galbanum and mint intertwine with bergamot and lavender, delivering a bitter, dark, and medicinal freshness. The heart reveals Villoresi's ingenious and unconventional flair, introducing a spicy and unusual accord of celery, cumin, and nutmeg, which warms the composition and gives it a dry, finely aromatic touch. In the base, the fragrance settles on a majestic bed of precious woods (sandalwood and cedar), enriched by the damp nuances of oakmoss and the enveloping warmth of tonka bean.
The character: A complex, earthy, sensuously smoky, and richly contrasting fragrance. It is the ideal scent for those seeking a vetiver with character, far from mass trends, capable of evoking the smell of damp woods and oriental spices.
