Lorenzo Villoresi Garofano is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Lorenzo Villoresi. Garofano opens with Floral, Green, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Heliotrope, and Vanilla. Lorenzo Villoresi's Garofano carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive floral powerhouse, Garofano is a true test of confidence. It's a proper, old-school carnation that some adore as a masterpiece, while others dismiss its unapologetic intensity as 'rotten' or overly 'strange'. Not one for the faint-hearted, but brilliant if you dare.

About

Garofano opens with a striking blast of green notes and lavender, quickly giving way to an intense, peppery carnation heart. Rose and jasmine offer floral depth, while a warm cinnamon and geranium spice things up. The base grounds the composition in musky woods with a touch of heliotrope and vanilla, creating a rich, lingering floral incense.
