Spezie

Spezie by Lorenzo Villoresi, released in 1994 and composed by Lorenzo Villoresi himself, is a spice cabinet in a bottle. Spicy is the accord every wearer names; some also find it green and aromatic, and a minority describe woody, musky and fresh sides.

The long list of notes reads like a kitchen garden. Pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, coriander and caraway provide the dry, warm, tingling spice at the centre. Thyme, oregano, rosemary, sage, bay leaf and mint add a herbal, savoury, Mediterranean freshness, with eucalyptus bringing a cool, camphorous lift. Tomato leaf and green notes give a sharp, leafy bitterness. Juniper, cypress and fir add a resinous, forest-like dryness, while oakmoss and heliotrope soften the base with earth and a touch of powder.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone. Its profile suits autumn and winter, cool days and evenings, and it will appeal to people who like natural, herbal, unsweetened compositions and enjoy a scent that smells of ingredients rather than perfume.
