Lorenzo Villoresi

Lorenzo Villoresi founded his eponymous fragrance house in Florence in 1990. Before then, he had studied philosophy, travelled, researched raw materials, and blended bespoke scents. These pursuits form the professional prehistory of the house.

Travel in the Middle East and encounters with ancient cultures became one source of its fragrance language. This context explains a sphere of imagery, but does not impose one pyramid on every composition.

Fragrance production remains within the company. The hexagonal bottle became a distinctive physical detail of the collections. In-house production and a shared design unite the range while preserving the independence of each formula.

Alamut combines rose, tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom. Their floral richness is supported by sandalwood, patchouli, musk, and amber facets, creating a warm woody-amber foundation.

Dilmun is built around neroli and orange blossom. Opoponax, incense, woods, and vanilla appear behind them. Orange blossom in both does not make Dilmun a variation on Alamut: their structures and surrounding accents differ.

Alamut and Dilmun offer two different introductions to Lorenzo Villoresi. Alamut joins opulent flowers to a woody-amber base, while Dilmun sets a bright neroli and orange-blossom theme against a resinous woody background. Their shared orange blossom makes the contrast between their settings especially clear.
