Lorenzo Villoresi
PERFUME
Villoresi's perfumes and potpourris meld distinctively Tuscan elements such as laurel,
olive, cypress and iris with essential oils and essences from around the world. His bespoke
fragrances are highly sought after. Visiting his showroom, which occupies his family's
15th-century
palazzo
(palace) is quite an experience. Drop-ins welcome but better to call
in advance to arrange your visit.
