Teint de Neige
Lorenzo Villoresi Teint de Neige Eau de Toilette smells of powder above all else, soft and white and only lightly sweet. Jasmine, rose and ylang ylang open it, pressed together until the individual flowers blur into a single creamy floral haze rather than standing apart, and the effect is closer to face powder and warm skin than to anything cut from a garden.
Underneath sit musk, tonka bean and heliotrope, and it is the heliotrope that gives the scent its almond and vanilla softness while the musk keeps everything close and skin-like. A blurred floral top falls straight into powder, vanilla and sweet musk, with very little distance travelled between the two. It reads as one accord held steady rather than a scent that unfolds in stages, and that is the point of it.
Lorenzo Villoresi opened in 1990 in Florence, founded by Lorenzo Villoresi after a philosophy degree and years of travel, and the house still produces its fragrances in-house. Teint de Neige launched in 2000.
It is long lasting with strong sillage, so the powder stays legible on you and in the air around you through the day. Winter suits it best and it holds up through spring, autumn and summer, where the sweetness sits lighter on warm skin. It works for a night out, for casual wear and for professional wear, so long as a powdery sweetness is something you want announced.
