Lorenzo Villoresi, born in 1956 in Florence, Italy, is an independent perfumer who built his reputation outside the major fragrance houses, continuing Florence's historic tradition in perfumery.
Forever Now Gucci MuseoHis travels and studies in the Middle East shaped his signature oriental style, and in 1990 he opened his house in his family's fifteenth-century palace overlooking the Arno. He received the Prix François Coty in 2006, has authored several books on perfume including Il Profumo: Cultura, storia e tecniche, and co-founded the Accademia dell'Arte del Profumo in Florence. His "fragrance fantasia" line includes Piper Nigrum, Dilmun, Teint de Neige, Yerbamate, and Alamut.
Exotic, oriental compositions rich in spices, amber, incense, resins, and sandalwood, custom-made in the independent tradition of Florentine perfumery.
