All about this fragrance

Vibe check

Spezie suits an unhurried afternoon with the doors open to a kitchen garden: crushed herbs on the hands, tomato foliage nearby, conversation at an easy pace. Its green spice character suggests an informal but considered presence, more tactile than polished.

How to wear

Try it in spring or on mild autumn days, when its leafy freshness and warmer spices can sit comfortably together. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms; exposed skin gives the aromatic notes room to diffuse. In hotter weather, apply lightly to keep the spice accents restrained.

Who it’s for

For those drawn to leafy aromatics and spices rather than sugary warmth. Spezie will appeal especially to lovers of culinary herbs, cypress and the distinctive green bite of tomato leaves, with cinnamon and cardamom adding texture rather than a dessert-like mood.

The nose

Lorenzo Villoresi is a Florentine perfumer whose work brings together Mediterranean landscapes, aromatic traditions and the sensory richness of his travels. His compositions range from the powdery softness of Teint de Neige to vivid explorations of woods, herbs and spices. In Spezie, that breadth takes a distinctly green form, pairing Tuscan vegetation with lively spice notes.

Lorenzo Villoresi’s story

Lorenzo Villoresi approaches perfume as a personal, artisanal expression rather than a succession of trends. In-house production, attention to ingredients and enduring design underpin the house, while its Florentine identity meets a wider curiosity about cultures and aromatic traditions. The distinctive hexagonal bottle reflects this understated approach to luxury.

Spezie’s concept

Spezie was conceived around the meeting of two aromatic worlds: the relaxing greenery of the Tuscan countryside and the vitality of exotic spices. Cypress, bay and tomato leaves establish the landscape, while cinnamon, pepper and cardamom bring warmth and movement without displacing its fresh, green character.

Extra info

Tomato leaf is an explicit part of Spezie’s original fragrance concept, not simply a green impression identified by wearers. Its pairing with cypress, bay and spices gives the composition an unusually kitchen-garden character.
