All about this fragrance

Vibe check

An unhurried morning with the windows open and a freshly pressed shirt waiting. Lavender and citrus give the composition a groomed, traditional character, while laurel and dry spices keep it brisk rather than soft: a measured presence for conversation at close quarters.

How to wear

The citrus-herbal profile suits mild spring weather and warmer days, while tonka lends softness as the opening settles. Start with one or two sprays on the upper chest or forearms for a restrained aromatic presence; in heat, keep the application light so the lavender and spices remain crisp.

Who it’s for

For those who enjoy traditional aromatic fragrances, herbal lavender and the ritual of classic grooming scents. Citrus and laurel bring briskness, while iris and tonka add refinement without turning the composition into a sweet lavender gourmand.

Release year

1996, renamed 2005

The nose

Lorenzo Villoresi is a Florentine perfumer whose independent practice spans bespoke creations and a distinctive collection of fragrances. His work combines classical structure with richly textured aromatic materials, from the powdery softness of Teint de Neige to the herbal clarity of Wild Lavender. Here, he interprets lavender through citrus, iris, laurel and spices rather than treating it as a simple floral note.

Lorenzo Villoresi’s story

Lorenzo Villoresi approaches perfume as a personal craft, shaped by travel, an intimate knowledge of raw materials and a tradition of bespoke work. The Florentine house emphasizes in-house production, meticulous detail and understated luxury, with timeless presentation rather than ostentation.

Wild Lavender’s concept

Wild Lavender interprets a classical perfumery theme through the image of sunlit lavender fields in Provence. Lavender, citrus and iris form its central accord, enriched by herbs, spices and tonka. Originally released as Inglese, meaning “English,” it later became Wild Lavender; the reason for the name change is not established.

Extra info

Rosemary appears in the official base notes alongside tonka bean and musk, extending the herbal theme beyond the opening. Despite its name and Provençal imagery, Wild Lavender does not carry a confirmed claim that its lavender is wild-harvested or sourced from Provence.
