Lorenzo Villoresi Incensi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997, created by Lorenzo Villoresi. Incensi opens with Green Notes, Bergamot, Lemon, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Mimosa, Pepper, Cinnamon, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Benzoin, Myrrh, and Incense. Lorenzo Villoresi's Incensi carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one is a proper head-scratcher and not for the faint-hearted. It opens with a brutal green punch that divides opinion sharply, morphing into a complex, warm, balsamic incense that some hail as king, while others deem it too medicinal or overly sweet. You'll either adore its unique journey or scrub it off in disdain.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Date Formal

Its potent initial green notes might be a bit much for a conservative office, but its sophisticated dry-down shines in formal settings or on a date. It's a complex, long-lasting scent, making it less suitable for casual or sport activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Incensi kicks off with an unapologetically green and zesty shock of galbanum and bergamot, perhaps a whisper of apple. This sharp introduction swiftly mellows, ushering in a warm, spicy core of cinnamon and peppery juniper. The real magic unfolds in the dry down, where a rich tapestry of amber, balsamic resins like opoponax and tolu balsam, and a distinct, dry incense emerge, underscored by creamy sandalwood.
