Lorenzo Villoresi Musk is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1995, created by Lorenzo Villoresi. Musk opens with Floral Notes, Bergamot, Cardamom, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Lorenzo Villoresi's Musk carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't just "Musk" - it's a deep, powdery rose-sandalwood dream. Divisive opinions range from ancient talcum powder to pure masterpiece, but for those it clicks with, it's a sensual, comforting, chameleon-like scent that genuinely grows on you.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

Opens with an aromatic flourish of galbanum and cardamom, quickly settling into a prominent powdery rose and geranium heart. The drydown unveils a luxurious blend of clean musk and creamy sandalwood, underscored by warm amber and a hint of vanilla. Rosewood and oakmoss provide an elegant, earthy backbone, creating a sophisticated yet comforting aura that lasts for hours.
