Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994, created by Lorenzo Villoresi. Vetiver opens with Bergamot, Petitgrain, Rosewood, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Caraway, Celery Seeds, Neroli, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Lorenzo Villoresi's Vetiver carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is for the uncompromising vetiver head. While some will find its strong, earthy opening a bit much, it delivers a naturalistic, almost brutalist take on the note that serious collectors will appreciate. Not for the faint of heart, or those who prefer their vetiver a touch more polished.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall Winter

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

The strong, earthy and often described 'harsh' opening makes it a less ideal fit for office or formal settings. Its naturalistic, almost rugged character leans more towards casual wear, though its sophisticated backbone could work for a daring date night. It's too complex and heavy for sport.

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.

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli

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

Opens with a potent, almost medicinal green bitterness from galbanum and mint, quickly joined by an intense, dirty vetiver. The heart introduces a surprising celery seed and caraway spice, adding an unusual vegetable earthiness. The dry down settles into a damp, smoky vetiver blend with sandalwood and patchouli, hinting at a subtle sweetness from tonka, leaving a lingering, naturalistic woodsiness.
