Lorenzo Villoresi - Spezie - EdT

Spezie, the Eau de Toilette introduced by Lorenzo Villoresi in 1994 does not pretend to be subtle or soft in any way. Usually, a perfume has many distinct ingredients that bring their own identifiable quality to the mix, but Spezie is an exception to this general rule. Lorenzo Villoresi developed Spezie to have only one olfactory profile: spicy. Some perfume makers don't attempt to please everyone with every fragrance they create. Spezie by Lorenzo Villoresi certainly has a particular audience in mind that enjoys the sometimes overpowering bursts of spicy notes present in Spezie. The spice factor featured in Spezie is not a bad thing, by any means. It is simply a quality that is different and requires a very specific environment in order to reach its full fragrance potential. While some are overwhelmed by the unmistakable presence of spicy notes, others are drawn to the warmth these scents emit so effortlessly.

For Villoresi, the true definition of Spezie lies in the quality of the composition as opposed to the appeal of the individual ingredients. Coriander, cardamom, and laurel start off as the top notes of this fragrance. You might be taken by surprise as the boldness of these ingredients awakens your senses and makes you feel like you are passing through the wonderfully aromatic street vendors in India, selling these distinct spices as their flavor fills the air. The middle notes contain even more aromatic abundance with as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin make their grand appearance. Just when you thought you had experienced enough spice for one perfume bottle, these ingredients build upon the spicy foundation of the top notes. This ultimate adventure in spicy fragrances is punctuated in the base notes by tomato leaves, rosemary, and sage - adding a new spin on a classic combination. Spezie is a one-of-a-kind fragrance that won't hit the right notes with everyone, but is truly another triumphant scent from Lorenzo Villoresi.
